On the afternoon of October 31, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong shared some information about the draft regulations on secondary and high school enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year that are being consulted.
Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong said that the 10th grade exam in 2025 will include 3 subjects: Math, Literature and a 3rd subject chosen by the department from among the subjects, the rest will be assessed by scores, but according to the principle of changing every year to avoid rote learning and biased learning.
"Having 3 subjects fixed every year can lead to consequences. Some schools will have students focus on 3 fixed subjects from the beginning of the school year. Meanwhile, the remaining subjects are also important in providing knowledge and skills for students, ensuring the program's requirements are met," said Mr. Thuong.
According to Mr. Thuong, to develop enough qualities and abilities, it is not just 3 subjects but all subjects.
"There is no solution that can fully satisfy the needs, so we choose the optimal solution. The solution that we consider most suitable and appropriate to ensure the factors of quality and capacity education is according to the 2018 general education program," Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong shared.
