On January 24, the Culture - Society Department of Quy Nhon Nam ward (Gia Lai) said that it had requested the Principal of Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School to organize a review and disciplinary action against Ms. T.T.K.N - an English teacher - related to correcting the test at the end of semester I, the 2025-2026 school year of students.
Through verification, the Culture - Society Department of Quy Nhon Nam ward determined that Ms. N. had acted to correct the semester I test of some students she was assigned to teach.
This act is identified as violating the provisions of the Law on Public Employees, the Law on Teachers and the provisions of the Ministry of Education and Training on teacher ethics.
From the above violations, the Culture - Society Department of Quy Nhon Nam ward proposed that the Principal of Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School organize a review of Ms. N. to clarify the purpose and extent of the violation.
Based on the results of the self-criticism, take the next steps in the process of handling civil servant discipline according to regulations. At the same time, report the handling results to Quy Nhon Nam Ward People's Committee before January 30.
As Lao Dong Newspaper has reported, many parents of students at Nguyen Van Cu Elementary School are upset about the fact that English teachers are said to intentionally correct students' exam papers to score low. It is worth mentioning that many exam papers show signs of being tampered with by adding strokes to letters and words to answers to misrepresent the results.
A few papers can still be considered scoring incorrectly, but these are many papers that are wrong in the same way. I propose that the school verify and clarify because this greatly affects the psychology, making children no longer motivated to try their best in studying," a parent of a 3C grade student complained.
After parents complained to the school, the incident quickly spread on the social network Facebook, attracting public attention.
Through inspection, 14 parents of class 3C and 5 parents of class 4B reflected that the English teacher arbitrarily corrected students' lessons. Currently, the school has temporarily suspended Ms. N.'s teaching work to continue clarifying the matter.
During the process of working with the school's verification team, Ms. N. showed signs of being psychologically affected. This teacher also admitted to correcting the student's lesson, but could not explain the reason.
