What did the Director of the Department of Education and Training say about passing the 10th grade entrance exam at a public school with 2.5 points?

At the discussion session in the hall within the framework of the 31st session of the 18th Nghe An Provincial People's Council on the afternoon of July 9, some delegates expressed concerns about the qualityof education when a public school admitted students with 2.5 points to grade 10.

Specifically, Nam Dan 2 High School lowered the admission standard score from 9.5 points in the first round to 2.5 points/3 subjects, including priority points in the second round of admission.

According to Mr. Thai Van Thanh, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An , this was the fault of the school principal. In fact, only 1 candidate with 2.5 points passed the second round.

After directly explaining to the leaders of Nghe An Department of Education and Training, the Principal of Nam Dan 2 High School also accepted responsibility for the incident.

“This is a remote area, there are no private schools, no continuing education centers,” informed the Director of the Department of Education and Training.

According to Mr. Thanh, the enrollment work is not suitable, between reason and emotion, reason must come first. The leader of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An said that it is necessary to consider and orient the child (candidate with low test scores) to vocational training. According to current regulations, when studying at vocational schools, the children are still awarded a high school diploma.

In the near future, when the Law on Vocational Education is amended, changing vocational junior colleges into vocational high schools, allowing them to teach high school cultural programs, it will create extremely favorable conditions for vocational schools as well as for the work of streaming after junior high school education.

Mr. Thanh affirmed that the above results do not assess the quality of mass education in Nghe An province. Mass education results are assessed through large-scale exams such as regional and national exams...

Mr. Thanh cited that the national high school graduation exam has the same questions, assessing basic knowledge and skills according to the output standards of the 2018 general education program. These results are only comparable and meet regional and international benchmarks. In each province, the province evaluates, and cannot confirm the general quality.

Mr. Thanh affirmed that the viewpoint and goal of Nghe An education is real education, real quality, aiming to educate students with capacity, courage, intelligence, fully converging all factors, skills, abilities, strengths... to confidently enter life, enter university, demonstrating the courage and character of people from Nghe An land of learning.

Mr. Hoang Nghia Hieu, Standing Deputy Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, hopes that the case of low grade 10 admission scores reported by the press and social networks is only an isolated case. He also expressed his expectations and confidence in the province's education in the coming time.
