On the afternoon of March 28, at the conference on implementing the work of enrolling students at the beginning of the school year, organizing the high school graduation exam and evaluating the implementation of Circular No. 29/2024/TT-BGDĐT organized by the Ministry of Education and Training, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha informed and noted some new points surrounding the 2025 High School Graduation Exam.

Regarding the exam, Mr. Ha said that the content of the high school graduation exam closely follows the current general education program, mainly the 12th grade program, and does not include content outside of the program that has been learned.

The thinking level is 40% knowledge, 30% understanding and 30% application. Increase the connection and application of knowledge and skills with reality, especially with differentiated content to accurately assess students' abilities.

With these new points, Mr. Ha noted that teachers need to strengthen guidance for students to read and study on their own. Self-control and self-study are also among the three important general competencies mentioned in the 2018 General Education Program.

An important new point related to high school graduation is that the graduation score is only 50% of the high school graduation exam score, the remaining 50% is calculated from the 3-year high school study process.

According to Mr. Ha, this change is consistent with the new program with a focus on developing learners' abilities and qualities, and many abilities and qualities of students are developed during the learning process.
