Teachers and students exhausted before the score race

Discussing the socio-economic situation at the National Assembly on April 21, Deputy Chairman of the Delegate Affairs Committee Dang Ngoc Huy affirmed that education is always identified by the Party and State as a top national policy, playing a key role in sustainable development.

However, besides the remarkable results in the past time, he believes that our country's education is still facing a "chronic disease" of chasing achievements. Although this issue has been mentioned many times in the National Assembly and there are solutions from the Government and the Ministry of Education and Training, in fact in many localities, indicators such as grade enrollment rates, graduation rates, and excellent students are still reported very high while the actual quality is not commensurate.

He cited that the high school graduation rate for many years has reached over 98%, but the results of the independent competency survey show that many students graduate without critical thinking skills, lack the ability to work in groups, and lack a foundation to continue studying or working in a real environment.

Delegate Dang Ngoc Huy said that many teachers and schools are caught up in the vortex of emulation, having to beautify scores, embellish reports, not because they lack conscience but because the system forces them to do so. See more...

Realizing that there are less than 2 months left for reviewing, Le Minh Thu - a 12A4 student at Le Quy Don High School (Hanoi) - is speeding up exam preparation. The female student is taking 4 subjects: Math, Literature, English and Physics. According to her, this is a choice that creates many advantages because she can consider 2 combinations D01 and A01, which are the admission combinations of many schools.

“I am quite worried about Math and Physics because they are not my strengths. Currently, I am taking extra classes on these 2 subjects to be oriented to study more effectively. At the same time, setting a goal to practice questions daily, creating a habit of doing the test like during the actual exam time” - Minh Thu confided.

Despite having an IELTS 7.5 certificate and achieving 104 points in the Aptitude Assessment (HSA) exam, the female student still does not neglect her preparation for the high school graduation exam. She sees these as advantages for herself when applying. See more...
