A considerable number of students in Vietnam who took part in the national high school exam in 2018 had their scores increased illegally, causing public outrage.

The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and Vietnamese police launched an investigation when test results for students in Son La, Ha Giang and Hoa Binh provinces were reported to be abnormally high, Viet Nam News reported.

It was later alleged that a number of education officials in these provinces altered the test results for some students. The MOET announced on March 23 that one of the 44 modified test results in Son La province was increased by almost 30%.

The MOET asked the provincial Department of Education and Training to update the new test results and inform institutions where the alterations were made. In addition, 56 students in Hot Binh also had their scores increased.

The MOET will be separating the marking procedures in 2019. Universities and colleges will be assigned to monitor the grading of multiple-choice tests. Local education departments will be given literature tests as they are supervised by universities and colleges as well.

  1. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your
    post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if
    this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser
    compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great
    though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers

  3. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed
    and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to
    share it with someone!

  4. When someone writes an paragraph he/she keeps the thought of a
    user in his/her brain that how a user can be aware of it.
    Thus that’s why this paragraph is perfect.
    Thanks!
