The 10th grade entrance exam causes great pressure, many opinions propose to reduce the burden on students
Information that Ho Chi Minh City plans to expand the form of admission to 10th grade in some areas, instead of just applying entrance exams as at present, is receiving great attention from parents and students nationwide. In the context that many localities are trying to reduce exam pressure for students, the story of "should we move towards abolishing the 10th grade exam" once again becomes a hot topic of discussion in Hanoi - where the 10th grade public school entrance exam always has a high competition ratio every year.
Many students said that the 10th grade entrance exam is currently one of the most stressful exams throughout their student life.
With less than 2 weeks left until the 10th grade public school entrance exam in Hanoi, Chu Pham Thanh Loan - a 9A1 student at Xuan Canh Secondary School (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi) - said that during this time, she studies almost every day until late at night.
I study official courses at school all day, and in the evening I study extra math and English. Some days I finish the lesson after 12 pm. What I fear most is the high competition ratio, just a few wrong questions can lead to failing the desired school" - Thanh Loan expressed.
According to the female student, the pressure comes not only from exams but also from family expectations and competition among friends. Many students in her class have now had to reduce playing time, temporarily stop extracurricular activities to focus on exam preparation. See more...
