Reducing pressure on entrance exams for grade 10, moving towards students proactively dividing their own flows

Lê Thanh Phong |

This year's 10th grade entrance exam at public schools is no longer a full race to win a seat like previous years. Parents and students are no longer too worried but are more confident about a place in grade 10, not to mention that there are many other options such as non-public schools and vocational schools.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the race to grade 10 only takes place in the above group, for students who are determined to enter specialized schools, while other schools are open. Students study well, review seriously, and can pass the exam to enter public schools.

However, to completely eliminate pressure on parents and students before each 10th grade entrance exam, two things need to be solved. First of all, it is necessary to increase schools and classes to increase input targets, especially in big cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Two is to develop a high-quality vocational school to meet the needs of students who want to choose the path to become a better worker than a teacher.

Many students have the talent to cut, make makeup, make cakes, cook, mechanics, mechanics, but not many vocational schools train skilled workers. After finishing school, I have to be able to do it, and after graduating, I will be a worker, but if I am not skilled, I cannot support myself.

Therefore, there are many high-quality vocational schools that train graduates to become good workers, even though the education sector does not need to take the trouble to come up with a rate of flow, but society "flows" itself according to the laws of life.

Another problem that needs to be raised in the 10th grade exam is that the training quality of schools in one locality and between localities has a long difference.

Typically, in Ho Chi Minh City, out of more than 76,000 candidates, about 6,000 students achieved a total score of 24 or higher in three subjects. 1/4 of these candidates will enter specialized schools such as Le Hong Phong, Tran Dai Nghia and Pho Da Nang.

Excluding specialized schools, for the group of schools in the top, the average admission score is from 20-23 points, while the group of schools in the bottom group is only from 10-13 points. Both in grade 10, but up to 10 points apart is an unusual gap.

Compared to other localities, the average score for grade 10 is not even more normal. For example, in Dak Lak, in this year's 10th grade entrance exam, many schools have very low benchmark scores, including one school that takes admission benchmark scores of only 2.5 points for three subjects.

Not only Dak Lak, but many localities have very low scores for entering 10th grade. The local education sector must research and find solutions to improve training quality.
