Pilot high school graduation exam 2027 on computer

This is the direction given at the national conference on preparations for the 2025 high school graduation exam, held on the afternoon of June 18.

In 2025, the country will have more than 1.16 million candidates taking the exam, an increase of nearly 100,000 candidates compared to the previous year. In this situation, the Prime Minister requested ministries, branches and localities to coordinate closely to organize the exam seriously, fairly, effectively and smoothly.

The Ministry of Education and Training is required to continue researching and developing a specific roadmap to develop a large enough test bank that closely follows the general education program and ensures quality. This is the basis for moving towards organizing computer-based exams in the near future.

Regarding the 2025 high school graduation exam, the Prime Minister emphasized the viewpoint of putting candidates at the center, teachers as the driving force, schools as the support, families as the fulcrum and society as the foundation. All conditions need to be best prepared so that candidates can demonstrate their true abilities, while honestly reflecting the quality of teaching and learning.

The Government requires strict implementation of three factors: ensuring absolute safety and honesty in all stages of the exam; clearly defining responsibilities among agencies, leaving no management gaps; and creating maximum favorable conditions for candidates, from facilities, healthcare, security to travel support and transparent information.

The exam needs to ensure quality, have reasonable differentiation and closely follow the learned program, especially in the transition year when students are still following two different general education programs (2006 and 2018).

The Prime Minister paid special attention to the printing and transportation of large quantities of exam papers nationwide, requiring absolute safety and accuracy, and preventing incidents.

The Ministry of Education and Training is tasked with coordinating with the Ministry of Public Security to guide localities in implementing measures to prevent and combat corruption during exams. In particular, it is necessary to control the use of high-tech devices or artificial intelligence (AI) to cheat.

The Prime Minister sent words of encouragement to students nationwide, affirming that the Government and the whole society will always accompany and create conditions for them to enter the exam with confidence and steadfastness. He hoped that they would consider the exam not only an assessment, but also an important milestone and a memorable memory in their journey to adulthood.

Finally, the Prime Minister wished the candidates good results, continued to nurture their dreams and ambitions and train themselves to contribute to the development of their homeland and country.
