On November 3, information from the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province said that it had just sent a document to the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province regarding the settlement of the petition of Mr. T.X.D (residing in Dong Tho ward, Thanh Hoa city) with the content of requesting to temporarily stop announcing the results of the Thanh Hoa province Math team and clarify the selection of excellent students for the Math, English and Informatics teams of Lam Son High School for the Gifted.
Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Dau Thanh Tung assigned the Director of the Department of Education and Training to direct the settlement according to the provisions of law, have a written response to citizens and report to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee before December 5, 2024.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, in early October 2024, parents submitted a petition to the Ministry of Education and Training and the functional agencies of Thanh Hoa province, reflecting on some unreasonable things in selecting students at Lam Son High School for the Gifted to compete in the provincial excellent student competition, in order to select the team to compete in the National Excellent Student Competition in 2024.
According to parents, on September 7-8, 2024, Lam Son High School for the Gifted will organize a school-level team selection exam before participating in the provincial-level excellent student exam to select a team to participate in the national excellent student exam in 2024.
However, on September 13, 2024, Lam Son High School for the Gifted sent a document to the Department of Education and Training requesting permission to increase the quota from 15 students to 20. On September 18, 2024, the Department of Education and Training sent a document agreeing with the proposal of Lam Son High School for the Gifted.
Some parents of students at Lam Son High School for the Gifted said that the way Lam Son High School works is unscientific and not in accordance with procedures for an important exam.
