On August 19, the People's Committee of Nghe An province just issued a decision to reward students with excellent achievements and high scores at the 2024 high school graduation exam.
According to this decision, certificates of merit from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee will be awarded to 66 students who achieved high scores in the 2024 high school graduation exam.
The reward amount for each student is 18.72 million VND; The total reward money on this occasion is more than 1.2 billion VND.
The above commendation caused mixed public opinion. A high school teacher in Nghe An stated the opinion: "The high school graduation exam is a routine, mandatory exam; It is not an exam for good or talented students, the exam is of average difficulty. Therefore, rewarding students with high scores in the graduation exam with a large amount of money and a Certificate of Merit from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee is unreasonable."
For comparison, the above teacher said that teachers who won titles in the provincial excellent teacher exam were only rewarded with an amount of about 1.8 million VND and were not awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
On the other hand, students and graduates with excellent and excellent grades from universities, colleges, and intermediate schools in Nghe An province are also not rewarded by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
The bonus for Nghe An students who score 10 times higher on the graduation exam is the base salary; higher than the bonus for the title of Excellent Teacher (bonus equal to 9 times the base salary). While this is a noble title bestowed by the President, the standards and conditions are very difficult.
Faced with the above concerns and inadequacies, on August 25, talking to reporters, the leader of the People's Committee of Nghe An province said that they would consider and review this content to ensure correct and motivating rewards. teachers, encourage students to improve in learning and training.
