Worry about unfairness when there is a proposal to abolish the 10th grade entrance exam
Information that Ho Chi Minh City plans to expand the form of admission consideration instead of the form of entrance exam to 10th grade is receiving the attention of a large number of parents and students with many different opinions.
According to parents and students in big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, the 10th grade entrance exam to public high schools has a high competition ratio for many years, creating great pressure for candidates.
Accompanying her child in this year's 10th grade entrance exam, Ms. Pham Hong Nhung (Tu Liem ward, Hanoi) said that not only students are stressed about the exam, but parents are also very worried during the time accompanying their children.
The competition ratio of Hanoi every year is quite high. Especially, this year there are many changes that make parents and students confused and worried. When choosing aspirations, my child and I also have to consider carefully because if there is no safe strategy, my child will not be admitted to any school" - Ms. Hong Nhung shared.
According to Ms. Nhung, students in the period near the exam time are often more stressed and almost have no time to entertain themselves: "My child spends all the time reviewing for the exam, many days studying until 12 pm. Seeing my child determined, I only know to encourage and create a comfortable space for my child to review.
Because she has 2 children in 7th and 9th grade, Ms. Hong Nhung hopes that Hanoi will have solutions to help reduce exam pressure so that students in later grades are no longer too stressed with the grade transfer exam.
I think admission will help my second child feel less pressured than my older brother. However, there also need to be management methods to avoid cases of "embellishing" transcripts, making admission unfair" - Ms. Hong Nhung added. See more...
