The 2019 National High School Exam will no longer be a puzzle.
That was the affirmation of Mr. Mai Van Trinh, Director of the Department of Education Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, after the reference questions were announced.
Mr. Mai Van Trinh said: The exam questions of the 2019 national high school exam are built according to a basic threshold to achieve the goal of graduation, and at the same time will have appropriate differentiation for university and college admission.
The differentiation of the exam is mainly for grade 12. Candidates can rest assured that the newly announced reference exam has reference value and is a very good orientation for teaching and learning of teachers and students in schools.

Candidates for the 2018 National High School Exam |
- Every year, we see a phenomenon where the exam questions are easy this year and difficult next year. From 2019, what is the guiding viewpoint of the Ministry of Education and Training?
- The Ministry's guiding viewpoint has been clearly expressed by Deputy Minister Nguyen Huu Do in the recent guiding document. Today, it is expressed in the reference topic announced by the Ministry.
- This issue is not new, it even existed before we conducted the first national high school exam. The Ministry of Education and Training has been preparing for a long time. Along with that, Resolutions 29 and 44 require innovation in high school graduation exams and university and college admissions in the direction of using results to consider graduation recognition and as a basis for universities to use in admissions. That means, using the results of the national high school exam is in the spirit of autonomy of the schools.
Recently, schools have followed this direction. I agree with the view that building exams to meet two goals is more difficult than building exams to meet each goal separately. But in reality, we can do it and basically meet the requirements.

- You see, America has been making tests for a century. We are just in the early years. We are following the same process. The question bank is getting richer and more standardized. What I can promise is that we will achieve standardized question banks faster than other countries.
The Ministry is implementing a series of solutions. In 2019, in addition to using a team of experts like previous years, we have a channel to mobilize more widely the team of teachers across the country, as well as experts to build a question bank through connected schools and other information network systems.
