VietNamNet Bridge - The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has once again tried to reform the high school examination and has, once again, met with dissatisfaction from students and teachers.

VietNamNet Bridge - While many state-owned universities have begun the academic year, private schools still do not know when their opening ceremonies will be held as they still lack students.

The new university enrolment scheme initiated by MOET has not been welcomed by students. Schools fear they cannot find enough candidates, while students fear they may fail to enter university despite high exam scores.

The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has said that with the mandated floor mark of 15 on entrance exams, there would be enough students for junior colleges and universities. But junior colleges are pessimistic about their enrolment plans.

VietNamNet Bridge - Universities are pleased about the floor mark the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has announced, while many students now can sigh with relief that they have a good chance of university admission.

VietNamNet Bridge - The national high school finals are not needed if 100 percent of examinees can pass the exams, many students believe.

Teachers have said that most students will pass the high school final exam because of the easy questions on the test. However, universities will find it difficult to choose excellent students because the questions were not difficult enough.

VietNamNet Bridge - Assessing the national exam which took place on July 1-4, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) said it was ‘safe and serious’. However, some educators disagreed.

 VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has released new regulations for high school finals, but students are worried the tests will be difficult and prevent them from attending university.

Young education experts who have received western-style education, noted that with the current unreasonable teaching methodology, Vietnam can only produce obedient workers, not creative thinkers.
