On February 18, according to Lao Dong's source, Ha Giang province decided to choose History and Geography as the third exam subjects for grade 10, along with Math and Literature.
Up to now, this is also the first locality in the country to choose these two subjects as the third exam subject for grade 10. The Ha Giang Department of Education and Training believes that this choice is consistent with local reality.
According to Mr. Bui Quang Tri - Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Giang, after the Ministry of Education and Training issued regulations for junior high school and high school admissions from 2025, the unit held a meeting to discuss, ask for the opinion of the Provincial People's Committee and decided to choose the third exam subject, History and Geography.
The Department of Education and Training of Ha Giang believes that choosing History and Geography is appropriate, as well as ensuring fairness for students. English is not a strength of Ha Giang students. In addition to late access, the shortage of English teachers in many educational institutions, and the quality of teaching and learning is not uniform among regions is also an obstacle.
Choose History and Geography as the third subject because this is an important subject. The teaching staff of these two subjects in Ha Giang ensures quality, not too different between localities. From there, help students review and consolidate good knowledge.
Also according to the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Giang, the Department has directed educational institutions to plan to ensure effective use of teacher resources and free review time for students. At the same time, it will advise and propose the Provincial People's Committee to balance and support funding.
To avoid rote learning and reduce exam pressure, in the following years, the Department of Education and Training of Ha Giang will base on the actual situation to choose the appropriate third exam subject.
Up to now, more than 30 provinces and cities across the country have announced the exam subjects for grade 10.
Mountainous provinces such as Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Lang Son choose the third subject for grade 10 admission, which is English.
