Sharing about the high school graduation exam from 2025, Deputy Minister Nguyen Huu Do said that the Ministry of Education and Training is trying very hard to invite experts to research a plan to meet the requirements of the new general education program, then submit it to the Government for consideration before announcing it.
The innovation of testing and assessment will be carried out in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 29 of the Party Central Committee with the requirement to innovate the form of testing, assessment, and graduation exams on the basis of reducing pressure and costs but still ensuring honesty, correctly assessing students' abilities, as a basis for graduation consideration as well as for higher education institutions to be able to use the results for admission consideration.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Huu Do said that the Ministry has not yet finalized the number of subjects and exams, but the four subjects of Math, Foreign Language, Literature and History are compulsory subjects, so they will definitely be compulsory.
According to Mr. Do, the innovation roadmap will be implemented in stages corresponding to the level of access to the new general education program of each group of students. Specifically, it will be divided into 3 stages: From 2025 to 2026, students will study the new 3-year high school program; From 2027 to 2031, students will study the new program from grade 6 and from 2032, students will study the new program from grade 1./.
