    Mr. Tran Duc Quy, Vice Chairman of Ha Giang province.

    According to Mr. Quy, with the support of the Ministry of Education, the Department is correcting the violations. Currently, the Department has replaced all the assessment scores for the scores announced on July 11, which does not affect the candidates' registration for the entrance exam on July 19.

    "The responsibility of the Ha Giang Examination Council and the Director of the Department of Education... when we clarify the matter, we will handle it accordingly, without hiding it. If parents bribe their children, when the results are accurate, there will be a final conclusion," he said.

  • 14:00:'The incident in Ha Giang is ugly, but that doesn't change the national high school exam'

    Mr. Mai Van Trinh informed that the whole country has gone through 4 years of organizing the national high school exam with two goals: graduation and university and college admission. Since 2017, the Ministry has started organizing multiple-choice exams, except for Literature, following a very strict process, in coordination with universities.

    In 2018, the Ministry added technical solutions to enhance security and accuracy, such as sealing the exam bags with thin stamps and signatures of the invigilators and deputy heads of the exam sites. In Ha Giang, inspections also found no exam bags that had been opened in advance.

    The exam plan has been relaxed, reducing pressure and costs, and the vast majority of people evaluate the exam as extremely serious. "The incident in Ha Giang is an extremely ugly thing, but because of that black spot, we should not change the exam, which is evaluated lightly and supported by everyone. Of course, in the coming years, the Ministry of Education will make adjustments to make the exam better," said Mr. Trinh.

  • 13:55:"I accept responsibility," said Vice Chairman of Ha Giang.

    Mr. Tran Duc Quy, Vice Chairman of Ha Giang, presented: "As the head of the exam steering committee, I accept responsibility. There are things we cannot control despite strong direction, due to lack of expertise and lack of expertise, which has created loopholes. The motive of Deputy Head of Department Luong is not pure."

    When asked how many children of provincial leaders took the exam, Mr. Quy said that there were many candidates, but "I don't think any leader said that my child had to go to a certain university. If there were any mistakes, where they were, and how they were handled, we will continue to clarify and respond to public opinion."

    Regarding the handling of officer Luong's responsibility, Mr. Quy affirmed that after the police's final conclusion, if prosecution is required, it will be prosecuted, if dismissal is required, it will be dismissed...

  • 13:50:It only took Mr. Luong 6 seconds to edit a case.

    Mr. Nguyen Cao Khuong, Deputy Head of Department 4, A83 of the Ministry of Public Security, a member of the working group, informed that the annual multiple choice test scanning process was directly managed by Mr. Vu Trong Luong, who used a computer to scan. Mr. Luong downloaded all the data to his computer, sent many phone numbers, and entered the scores according to those phone numbers... 6 seconds for one case to edit the score for a candidate.

  • The inspection process of the Ministry and the Department is not strict enough when Mr. Luong handles all the candidates' exams, while the supervisory board members sit there. The participating members basically do not understand the operation, so this process is bypassed by Mr. Luong.

    Mr. Luong had time from 12:00 to 14:38 on June 27 to move all the boxes of multiple choice test papers and computers to the Examination Room. During these 2 hours, he opened the sealed lock, took the papers out of his bag and corrected the answers.

    No individual has been found to have coordinated with Mr. Luong during those two hours. Mr. Luong’s computer still has the 2017 exam score data and serves the investigation of the working group (Mr. Luong voluntarily handed over the computer to the working group). After receiving comments from the Minister of Education, the authorities will continue to investigate.

  • 13:44:Deputy Head of the Department of Examination intervened in the exam

    "The act of raising the candidates' scores during the exam marking process has seriously violated the exam regulations.

The authorities are continuing to investigate, clarify, and consolidate the records to handle the individuals involved," said Director Mai Van Trinh.
