Education Training branch actively prepares for new exams

In 2025, the 10th-grade entrance exam and the high school graduation exam will be conducted for the first time in accordance with the 2018 General Education Program. Currently, the Binh Duong education and training sector is taking various steps to prepare for these two important exams: the 10th-grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year and the high school graduation exam in 2025, both aligned with the new curriculum.

Teachers and students of 9th grades at Nguyen Viet Xuan Junior High School are working hard to prepare for the exam.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training, Binh Duong is making early preparations to actively implement decentralization for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, ensuring the effective organization of exams. Specifically, the Provincial People's Committee has issued Directive No. 15/CT-UBND to enhance the direction and coordination of exam organization in Binh Duong.

Accordingly, the Provincial Department of Education and Training presides over and closely coordinates with relevant departments, agencies, units and localities to advise the Provincial People's Committee to establish a Provincial Steering Committee for the exams. Direct and regularly inspect to ensure strict implementation of teaching, learning and review programs and plans to meet the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program.

According to this directive, relevant departments, agencies, units, and local authorities are required to coordinate with the Department of Education and Training to ensure that the exams are conducted in accordance with regulations. Additionally, efforts should be made to promote and support students facing difficult circumstances, ensuring that no student is unable to take the exam due to a lack of transportation.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhat Hang, the Director of the Provincial Department of Education and Training, stated that the Ministry of Education and Training has not yet issued regulations regarding the entrance exams for 10th grade for the 2025-2026 school year, nor for high school graduation in 2025. However, the Provincial Department of Education and Training has prepared a plan to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval once the Ministry releases the official regulations for the 10th-grade entrance exam. Additionally, they have made basic preparations to ensure that high schools are ready for the 2025 high school graduation exam.

Additionally, the Provincial Department of Education and Training has instructed educational institutions to regularly inspect, repair, and upgrade their facilities to ensure that there are enough examination rooms and equipment available for the exam. Units are expected to implement effective review plans that adhere closely to the 2018 General Education Program and align with the content and structure of reference exam questions as directed by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Due to the unique circumstances of the 2024-2025 school year, which marks the first implementation of exams based on the new curriculum, there are significant changes in the organization of teaching, learning, and examination processes. As a result, many students in the 9th and 12th grades, along with their parents, are feeling anxious about these changes. In anticipation of modifications to the high school graduation exam in 2025, high schools in the province are actively providing information and guidance to teachers, parents, and students. This effort aims to help everyone understand the changes and make informed decisions.
