In two days, January 24-25, 2026, nearly 17,000 candidates participated in the first phase of the thinking assessment (TSA) exam of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, of which about 12% are 10th and 11th grade students.

Ministry of Education and Training responds to reflections on unfairness when considering teacher emulation in subjects

Some subject teachers reflect that the consideration of emulation and promotion is currently unfair compared to homeroom teachers, because the criteria "excellently completing tasks" are often associated with homeroom class achievements. Because they do not work as homeroom teachers, subject teachers, even if they teach well and actively participate in the movement, still find it difficult to achieve high rankings, leading to not being eligible for consideration for emulation titles and professional title promotion.

Answering the proposal, the Ministry of Education and Training said that the current regulations on professional title standards for teachers (which have been amended and supplemented) do not distinguish between homeroom teachers or subject teachers, nor do they distinguish between teachers teaching cultural or specialized subjects. Promotion consideration is carried out uniformly according to general regulations, without setting specific conditions that are disadvantageous to subject teachers.

The Ministry of Education and Training emphasized that, according to legal regulations, each educational institution must develop and promulgate regulations on evaluating and ranking civil servants suitable to the specific characteristics of each job position, ensuring objectivity and fairness. Therefore, teachers can directly propose to the principal to complete the evaluation regulations at the unit, ensuring the legitimate rights of subject teachers when considering emulation and promotion.
