In the 2024-2025 school year, the school has not yet determined the number of students for each team to be nominated to participate in the Provincial Team Selection Exam for the 2024-2025 school year, organized by the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province.
On September 13, Lam Son High School for the Gifted sent a document to the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province requesting to increase the number of students participating in the provincial exam with the reason: "Each school year, Lam Son High School for the Gifted is allowed to enroll 2 specialized Math classes and 2 specialized English classes, so the number of students in these 2 subjects wishing to participate in the exam is large". Therefore, the school requested the Department to allow to increase the number of students participating in the exam to 20 students from the 2024-2025 school year.
On September 18, the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province issued a document agreeing to the school's proposal to increase the number of students from 15 to 20. The Department confirmed that the school had submitted a report and received approval from the Department.
Regarding the re-examination, the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province also affirmed that the re-examination of the exam papers was carried out according to plan and was made public before Lam Son High School for the Gifted organized the school-level team selection exam.
After the announcement of the exam results, the school received 15 applications for review of exam papers from students. Through the review organization, 6 exams had their scores changed.
Previously, as Lao Dong reported, on September 7-8, 2024, Lam Son High School for the Gifted organized a school-level team selection exam before participating in the provincial-level excellent student exam to select the team to participate in the national excellent student exam in 2024.
However, on September 13, 2024, Lam Son High School for the Gifted sent a document to the Department of Education and Training requesting permission to increase the quota from 15 students to 20. On September 18, 2024, the Department of Education and Training sent a document agreeing with the proposal of Lam Son High School for the Gifted.
Some parents of students at Lam Son High School for the Gifted said that the way Lam Son High School worked was unscientific and not in accordance with procedures for an important exam.
