On October 11, speaking with Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung - Chief Inspector of Thanh Hoa Province Department of Education and Training said that yesterday afternoon (October 10), the Department's working group worked with the family to find a solution to the problem of the student who failed the exam and became valedictorian due to entering the wrong score.
“At the meeting, the family still wanted the student to continue studying at Le Hong Phong High School. However, the Department could not comply with the family's wishes, because doing so would violate regulations and make mistakes even more,” Mr. Dung informed.
According to Mr. Dung, the Department has no other choice but to direct the school to support finding private schools and continuing education centers for students to continue studying. However, up to now, the family has not agreed to this plan.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, the Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training received a complaint about a 10th grade student of Le Hong Phong High School achieving an unusually high score in the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year, while the student's ability was normal.
Immediately afterwards, the Inspector of the Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training inspected and clarified. The 10th grade entrance exam scores of this student when announced as admitted (transcript) were: Math 8 points; Literature 8.5 points; English 6.4 points (scores have not been multiplied by coefficients).
With the above results, this student is the valedictorian admitted to grade 10 at Le Hong Phong High School for the 2024-2025 school year. However, when rechecking, this candidate's test score was only 4.5 points in Math; 6.5 points in Literature; and 2.4 points in English.
With the above results, based on the admission score to Le Hong Phong High School for the 2024-2025 school year, this student did not have enough points to pass the 10th grade entrance exam. Therefore, the Admissions Council of Le Hong Phong High School has announced that the student was not admitted and had to stop studying. Currently, this student has stopped studying for many days.
According to the representative of the Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training Inspectorate, the cause of the above incident was that the scoring team of the Ngoc Lac High School Examination Board had mistakenly posted the exam scores.
According to the explanation of the Ngoc Lac High School Examination Board, the reason for the wrong score was due to work pressure and lack of concentration during the working process, which led to the wrong score being recorded and was unintentional.
Regarding the above incident, Ngoc Lac High School has organized a council to review the responsibilities of the members involved.
As a result, disciplinary action was taken in the form of a reprimand against Ms. Ngo Thi Tuyet, a teacher at Ngoc Lac High School, who gave the wrong score; and review and draw lessons from the staff and teachers of Ngoc Lac High School, including Mr. Vu Ngoc Liem - Principal of Ngoc Lac High School; Ms. Ngo Thi Thanh, Vu Thi Thuy, and Tran Thi Tu, all teachers at Ngoc Lac High School in the resuscitation team.
