"In fact, since the beginning of the school year, for the subjects that will be tested for grade 10, the school's teachers have been teaching and consolidating knowledge. In particular, the school focuses on providing practical problems for students to get acquainted with," said Mr. Khoa.
Meanwhile, at a high school in Thu Duc City, the school principal said that this year, according to regulations, it is allowed to teach review for grade 12 students but there is no fee, so the school has not yet had a detailed review plan. However, the principal affirmed that "there will be reviews for students".
"The school may open some review classes for students with limited knowledge in the spirit of voluntary registration of students and parents. The salary of review teachers will be calculated based on the working days of the quarter in the year," he said.
Recently, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City has issued a document directing the review of the high school graduation exam for grade 12 students. In particular, it is noted that high schools only organize reviews and training for students who need to review for entrance exams and review for high school performance; do not organize widespread reviews, not for the right subjects, not effective, causing waste.
During the teaching and testing process, teachers need to focus on helping students understand and apply knowledge to do well in the high school exam.
