On December 4th, the Ministry of Education announced the plan for the 2019 National High School Graduation Examination. Similar to the previous two years, each province and city will have an examination cluster chaired by the Department of Education, with universities participating in coordinating the invigilation process.The results of the national high school graduation exam are used to determine high school graduation and as a basis for university admissions.
"The exam content is within the high school curriculum, mainly focusing on grade 12; ensuring a basic threshold for high school graduation and having appropriate differentiation to serve as a basis for admissions to higher education and vocational training institutions," the Ministry of Education's announcement stated.
The organizational procedures have been adjusted to prevent cheating, similar to the 2018 national high school graduation exam, where local universities did not coordinate invigilation in their localities. The marking of multiple-choice tests is overseen by universities instead of the local Department of Education. The room containing the exam papers and answer sheets is monitored by cameras 24/7, and data is encrypted to prevent interference with the multiple-choice tests.
