Preventing high-tech cheating in the 2024 High School Graduation Exam

On the morning of June 21, the Conference on organizing the 2024 high school graduation exam took place.

The conference was chaired by comrade Thai Van Thanh - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Education and Training, Deputy Head of the Provincial Examination Steering Committee; representatives of Nghe An Provincial Police and related departments and agencies. The conference was also attended by the heads and deputy heads of 70 examination sites across the province.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, the Director of the Department of Education and Training affirmed that the High School Graduation Exam is an exam of utmost importance for students.

The exam marks the end of 12 years of student life and is also an opportunity for the education sector to announce its products to society, a foundation for preparing human resources, and a basis for universities and colleges to consider admission. The exam is also an opportunity to re-evaluate the teaching and learning process in order to improve education in schools.

With the special nature of this year's exam, over the past time, from the Ministry to the province, there have been many guiding documents to implement procedures to organize a quality, serious, safe, and regulated exam.

In Nghe An, the province with the 4th largest number of candidates in the country, with more than 36,000 candidates and spread across 21 districts, cities, towns, many of which are mountainous and highland districts, organizing the exam has its own difficulties.

In that context, the leaders of the Department of Education and Training said that the issue of ensuring security, safety and confidentiality of exam papers must be given top priority. In addition, attention must be paid to security and order before, during and after the exam, and attention must be paid to the use of high-tech cheating devices. Before the exam, schools and teachers need to pay attention and remind students to create a comfortable mentality, so that they do not violate the regulations, avoiding unfortunate incidents.

Over the past time, the propaganda work about the exam has been focused on to promptly disseminate to officials, teachers and students to know and implement. The work of preparing facilities to ensure the safe and serious implementation of the exam and serving the work of copying exam papers, marking exams and announcing exam results has been focused on.

In addition, the Department of Education and Training has also closely coordinated with departments, branches, sectors and organizations to effectively implement the coordination contents assigned by the Provincial Steering Committee for Examinations.

At the provincial conference on organizing the exam, delegates also listened to a representative of Nghe An Provincial Police report on the issue of ensuring security, safety and order at exam sites, and the issue of detecting and preventing high-tech cheating. At the same time, attention was paid to the issue of coordinating situation handling and reporting to promptly resolve unexpected situations that occurred during the exam./.
