"Reforming" many processes in the provincial excellent student selection exam
(Baonghean.vn) - These are the new features of the 2019 Provincial Excellent Student Competition. This year's competition had the participation of more than 3,000 students in grades 9 and 11.
In previous years, the people who created and graded the exams were done by two different teams or groups. The teachers who created the exams, after being quarantined, would discuss together to create a common exam based on the exam matrix that had been built.
This year, according to the new regulations, the exam questions will be drawn in two separate rounds. In the first round, teachers will draw lots to assign exam questions to two groups, group 9 and group 11.

In round 2, before the exam is given, the teachers will discuss the exam structure and draw lots for the exam content. Next, each teacher will continue to be isolated and each person will only be responsible for giving a part of the exam. The final exam will be randomly selected based on the exam questions that the teachers have prepared.
Regarding marking, according to the regulations of 2019, after the exam, the students' test papers will be cut and sealed. Then, they will be sent directly to the test-making team for marking. The industry will also not set up additional marking teams like in previous exams.
According to the leader of the Department of Education and Training: With this new form, the Department of Education and Training hopes to have an honest and objective exam, avoiding the situation of "teachers giving biased questions to their own school's students or avoiding priority and favoritism during the exam marking process".
The representative of the Department of Education and Training also said that each teacher who creates the test is only responsible for a part of the test, which will avoid negative situations. The processes from selecting teachers to creating the test and grading the test are all carried out confidentially and absolutely objectively.
Although this is the first year of organization, the new form of marking has been supported by many teachers and parents. After three days of organization, up to this point, the exam scores of the candidates have basically been marked and it is expected that by the end of tomorrow, the results of the provincial excellent student selection exam in 2019 will be announced.
