Conflicting opinions on the proposal to separate the graduation exam from university admission
In the 4th session of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the morning of April 14, when giving opinions on the report on people's petitions in June, Mr. Nguyen Dac Vinh - Chairman of the Committee for Culture and Society proposed to study separating the graduation exam and university admission.
Before this proposal, Mr. Nguyen Van Luc - former teacher of Trinh Phong Secondary School, Dien Khanh, Khanh Hoa - said that the biggest advantage of the "2-in-1" exam is saving time and effort for people, reducing costs for society, and reducing exam pressure for students.
However, in addition to the advantages, according to Mr. Luc, after many years of implementation, the exam still exists, and negativity arises in the process of organization.
Taking the example of the case of 147 10-point students at Tuyen Quang Specialized High School, teacher Luc said that although it is just "a bad apple spoils the barrel", this is a typical example leading to public outrage.
Therefore, if the high school graduation exam is separated from university admission consideration, perhaps the situation at Tuyen Quang High School will not be repeated again" - Mr. Luc expressed his opinion. See more...
