4 groups of students with high scores will be honored by Nghe An province

2025 is the first year that the High School Graduation Exam is conducted according to the 2018 General Education Program with a change in the number of subjects from 6 subjects (Literature, Mathematics, Foreign Language and choosing 1 of 2 groups of Natural Sciences or Social Sciences) to 4 subjects.

Accordingly, candidates will have to take 2 compulsory subjects (Math, Literature) and 2 elective subjects in Foreign Languages, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, and Technology.

Due to changes in the number of subjects, this year, instead of rewarding students with high scores in the High School Graduation Exam based on the number of students with the highest scores in the Natural Science and Social Science groups, Nghe An will reward students according to 4 groups.

Specifically, according to the proposal of the Department of Education and Training, select 50 students with a total score of 4 subjects ranked from high to low (ensuring that the total score of 4 subjects must be from 34 points or higher, with no subject below 5 points).

In addition, select 10 ethnic minority students with the highest total score in 4 consecutive subjects (ensuring that the total score of 4 subjects must be 32 points or higher, with no subject below 5 points); when considering the last student, if the students have the same score, all students are allowed to be taken.

With this criterion, there will be 4 groups of students:

Group 1are students who registered for the exams in Math, Literature and 2 optional subjects, which are 2 of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information Technology, Technology. In this group, Nghe An has 8,040 students registered for the exam and the province plans to reward 15 students, of which 13 students have high scores and 2 students are ethnic minorities with adjacent scores.

Group 2are students who registered for the exams in Math, Literature and 2 optional subjects, which are 2 of the subjects History, Geography, Economic Education and Law. In this group, Nghe An has 16,767 students registered for the exam and the province plans to reward 25 students, including 20 students with high scores and 5 students from ethnic minorities with adjacent scores.

Group 3are students who registered for the exams in Math, Literature, 2 optional subjects of Foreign Language and 1 other subject. In 2025, the whole province had 8,144 candidates registered for the exam in this group. The province plans to reward 16 students, including 14 students with high scores and 2 students from ethnic minorities with adjacent scores.

Group 4are students who registered for the exams in Math, Literature and other subjects not included in the above 3 groups. The last group in the whole province has 3,081 students registered for the exam and the province plans to reward 4 students, including 3 students with high scores and 1 studentis an ethnic minority with a high score.

Regarding the Ceremony to honor students who won international, regional, and national prizes in the 2024-2025 school year and students who achieved high scores in the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, the Provincial People's Committee has a plan to organize it. Accordingly, the ceremony is expected to be held on the evening of Friday, August 22 at the Provincial Labor Culture House.

This year, Nghe An is expected to honor 195 students, including 6 students who won international and regional prizes and 96 students who won prizes at the National Excellent Student Competition.

In addition, 1 student won a prize at the contest "Youth studying and following Ho Chi Minh's morality and character", 2 students won prizes at the National Science and Technology Competition for high school students in the 2024-2025 school year and 15 students won prizes at the 7th contest "Students with startup ideas".

Regarding students with high scores in the High School Graduation Exam, based on the proposed criteria, the Department of Education and Training has compiled a list of 75 students with high graduation exam scores and ethnic minority students with the next highest scores. The number of students increased by 15 because many students had the same score.

Initial synthesis shows that in 2025, there are 5 schools with the largest number of students receiving awards, including Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted (19 students), Ethnic Minority Boarding High School No. 2 (10 students), Hoang Mai High School and Quynh Luu 1 High School (4 students) and Thanh Chuong 1 High School (3 students).
