Some opinions on the viewpoint of continuing to maintain the high school graduation exam
The Ministry of Education and Training expressed its view of continuing to maintain the high school graduation exam. Some parents and students expressed their agreement, saying that the exam still plays an important role.
As a parent whose child just completed the 2026 high school graduation exam, Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Huong (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi) expressed her agreement with the viewpoint of the Ministry of Education and Training.
According to Ms. Huong, the high school graduation exam is not only a milestone to assess academic results after 12 years of study but also creates motivation for students to maintain a serious learning consciousness until the end of the school year.
If the exam is abolished, many students may be subjective in the final stage, while this is the time to summarize knowledge and practice skills. Maintaining the exam also helps universities have more basis for reference when enrolling students" - Ms. Huong said.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Dao Van Kha (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi), whose child is preparing to enter 12th grade, believes that the high school graduation exam is still necessary in the context that each university applies many different admission methods. See more...
