Ministry of Education and Training issues "ultimatum" to universities on converting admission scores

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son signed a document requesting universities and colleges to review data and prepare for virtual filtering of enrollment in 2025.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training requires training institutions to strictly comply with the regulations on university and college admissions for preschool education and guiding documents.

The Ministry especially noted that in the first round of university and college admissions in 2025, training institutions will conduct admissions on a system that ensures compliance with regulations and the general plan of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Schools use all the evidence that candidates have uploaded to the general admission support system of the Ministry of Education and Training to consider the wishes that candidates have registered. This includes high school graduation exam results, academic records, valid foreign language certificates, and results of assessment of capacity, thinking, etc.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training requires schools to review the announcement of regulations on the difference in scores between admission groups and the rules for converting equivalent admission scores in line with the Ministry of Education and Training's instructions, ensuring fairness, transparency and accountability to candidates, parents and state management agencies.

"Training institutions cannot download data and admission information from the System if they have not publicly announced the equivalent conversion of admission scores," the Ministry of Education and Training stated.

Schools are also required to review secondary criteria and admission data from previous years to determine appropriate virtual admission rates. The goal is to ensure that the number of officially admitted candidates does not exceed the prescribed quota.

Along with that, the Ministry of Education and Training also requires schools to increase communication about fairness and transparency between admission methods and admission combinations. At the same time, schools must promptly and thoroughly resolve candidates' recommendations and complaints and coordinate with other training institutions to support candidates who encounter errors.

Finally, to avoid errors and violations, schools need to strengthen internal inspection and control and internal quality assurance activities throughout the admission process.

The new point of this year's enrollment is that the Ministry of Education and Training requires schools to convert the equivalent admission scores and input thresholds between admission methods and combinations.

However, the Ministry does not have unified regulations but lets universities proactively develop their own plans, leading to each place doing things differently.
