Regarding the case of English teachers arbitrarily editing exam papers and lowering scores for a series of students that Lao Dong Newspaper has reported, Nguyen Van Cu Primary School (Quy Nhon Nam ward, Gia Lai) issued a decision to discipline Ms. T.T. K.N - English teacher - in the form of a warning, and at the same time did not assign teaching duties to this teacher.
Currently, the Board of Directors of Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School is considering, arranging and assigning other suitable tasks for Ms. N.
Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School said that after re-grading all test papers of students taught by Ms. N., the inspection team correctly graded and raised the scores for 19 papers that Ms. N. had intervened to correct and lower students' scores. The scores of the re-graded papers have been agreed upon by parents and the school has updated them to the database.
Regarding the suspicion of many parents that Ms. N.'s arbitrary correction of lessons and lowering student scores is related to the fact that students do not go to extra classes at the teacher's house, through initial verification, the school said that it has not detected Ms. N. organizing extra classes at home.
As Lao Dong Newspaper has reported, many parents of students at Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School are upset that English teachers intentionally revise students' exam papers to score low. Notably, many exam papers show signs of being interfered with by adding lines to letters, adding words to answers to falsify results.
Through inspection, Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School determined that 14 parents of class 3C and 5 parents of class 4B reflected that English teachers arbitrarily corrected students' lessons.
Working with the school's verification team, Ms. N. admitted to arbitrarily correcting students' lessons. Explaining this, Ms. N. said that in the class, many students achieved high scores, worried that students would be subjective in their studies, so she interfered with the test, not because the students did not go to extra classes at her house.
Before Ms. N.'s explanation, leaders of Gia Lai Provincial Department of Education and Training said that this explanation is unreasonable and misleading in viewpoint. According to leaders of the Department of Education and Training, scores reflect the actual ability of students, so teachers cannot arbitrarily correct lessons or lower students' scores just because they are worried that students getting high scores will be subjective in their studies.
