Ministry of Education mobilizes university lecturers to inspect the 2020 high school graduation exam

According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Cuong, the Ministry of Education and Training has recently announced the draft regulations for the high school graduation exam to solicit public opinions. The big difference this year is that university staff and lecturers will not be mobilized to participate in the exam supervision and grading.

However, the 2020 high school graduation exam will have the participation of provincial inspection forces.

3 levels of inspection

Mr. Cuong said that this year's high school graduation exam, the Ministry of Education and Training directed and organized inspection and examination work to be strengthened, according to the following principles: Clearly defining responsibilities in inspection/examination of exam stages for the Ministry, Provincial People's Committees, Departments of Education and Training; Inspection/examination must comply with legal regulations; Ensuring practicality, effectiveness and feasibility.

Inspection and examination at 3 levels (ministry, province, department) are carried out at all stages of the exam, at local examination councils, examination sites, examination rooms, etc.

Mr. Cuong said that this year, although university staff and lecturers were not mobilized to participate in exam supervision and grading, this force was still mobilized to participate in exam inspection work.

This year, in addition to the Ministry and Department forces as usual, there will be an additional provincial inspection force. According to Mr. Cuong, the work of the delegations will be carried out on the principle of avoiding duplication but still ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of operations.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training will coordinate with the Government Inspectorate to direct and guide provincial inspectors to organize appropriately.
