The competence assessment of Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCMC) this year attracted over 120,000 test-takers, the highest number ever. The quantity of universities using the assessment results also rises to nearly 90. This increase, along with updated admission regulations from the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) makes entering a university via this method harsher.
Facing many serious incidents in university entrance examination and high school graduation one lately, the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) decided to submit to the Government one possible exam plan, used as a tool to recognize high school graduation and screen candidates for university admission from 2020. Sadly, this plan seems like a patchwork for each year rather than a stable master plan for expert comments.
Decree No.04/2021/ND-CP on sanction of administrative violations in education domain, issued by the Government, is officially into effect as of today. This decree will replace Decree No.138/2013. Law and education experts praised this new decree as it regulates punishments for new law breaking activities and introduces new content related to autonomy in education.
