Proposing the Ministry of Education and Training to build a common exam bank for students nationwide
On the eve of the new school year, Master Nguyen Quang Thi (Bao Loc High School, Lam Dong) proposed 2 opinions. This year's high school graduation exam in Math is considered difficult, while most teachers only rely on the sample exam of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), leading to subjectivity and lack of universality.
To improve the quality of review, it is necessary to build a common theme bank including exam questions from grades 1 to 12 for all subjects. This will help teachers have a unified teaching environment, students have a rich source of review, schools narrow regional gaps, and ensure fairness in access to knowledge.
To operate effectively, the Ministry of Education and Training needs to come up with a standard problem matrix, prepare by teachers, then the professional board appraises and selects the required problems to put into the bank. Teachers are paid for the standard exam to encourage participation.
In addition to the high school exam, the issue of admission to grade 10 is also controversial. In many localities, the high competition rate makes the exam more stressful, even more stressful than university admissions. Many opinions suggested removing the exam and switching to admission based on transcripts and regular test results, both reducing pressure on students and parents and saving costs. See more...
Forecast of the benchmark scores of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry
Expected Marketing benchmark scores in 2025
Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung - Vice Principal of Hanoi University - said that the 2025 high school graduation exam score shows that the D01 combination result (Math, Literature, English) is lower than last year. However, due to the increase in the number of candidates and the Ministry of Education and Training applying a common scale, not dividing the quota according to the admission method, the 2025 admission score of Hanoi University is forecast to be less fluctuating, only increasing or decreasing by about 0.5 - 1.5 points compared to 2024.
The majors expected to have high benchmark scores are still the Language group (English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese), Information Technology and Marketing. These are majors with great social needs, often in the group of the highest benchmark scores of the school in the past 5 years. In 2024, the benchmark scores for majors range from 33 - 35.8/40, of which Marketing (taught in English) reached 33.93 points.

Teacher spreads the rhythm of praying for kindness for poor students
For nearly 20 years, Mr. Ngo Khac Vu - a teacher at Mo Duc 2 High School (Quang Ngai) - has quietly built a heart for kindness, connected scholarships and supported hundreds of poor and studious students. Since he was a student, he often wrote articles introducing students in difficult circumstances to newspapers to find scholarships, helping many students not to drop out of school halfway.
Not only finding financial support, Mr. Vu also enthusiastically orients his career, guides students on how to use scholarships effectively and encourages them to continue to move forward. Thanks to the connection of teachers, many poor students have become doctors, engineers, teachers who have changed their lives and contributed to society.
A typical example is the case of Dang Van Gia Huan - valedictorian of class A at Mo Duc 2 High School - who passed the entrance exam to the Electronics Engineering major at the University of Technology (VNU-HCM) but was at risk of dropping out of school due to poverty. Thanks to Mr. Vu's call, Huan received more than 270 million VND and the entire cost of 4 years of study. See more...
