‘Statistics of 10th grade exam results but not for grading’

Mr. Trung said that the evaluation criteria of schools in general, and of junior high schools in particular, evaluate all criteria. The percentage of students who are admitted to grade 10 is not a criterion to evaluate the emulation of schools.

“We do not evaluate the emulation of schools based on the percentage of students who pass 10th grade in high school,” Trung said.

VietNamNet questions that the reports and statistics are “voluntary”, but in fact, behind that, it seems that parents are not really satisfied.

About the fact that this information is raised every year, Mr. Trung said, every year, wherever information appears, the Department of Education and Training conducts review and prevents negative phenomena.

In schools with cases of transfer, all must report to the Department of Education and Training. After that, the Department of Education and Training also called to discuss with parents and students all knew the information and the reason.

“Based on the admission scores that schools send to the Department of Education and Training, we also have statistics and a collection of schools achieved in the exam. The purpose is not to emulate, but from there to have a panorama of schools, from there to plan to improve the quality of education”.

Mr. Trung said, according to the plan of the Hanoi People’s Committee, every year, the Department of Education and Training also organizes the distribution of students after secondary school. However, this may not be possible to impose a “norm” on schools because it depends on the academic performance of the school’s students each year.

Mr. Trung also affirmed that the criteria for evaluating teachers are not based on students’ scores in the 10th grade exam.

VietNamNet continues to question whether there is a plan when the problem of their children being weak students is something many parents feel afraid to share, reflect and only dare to state on forums and social networks. festival.

About this, Mr. Trung said, in the coming time, the Cau Giay District Department of Education and Training may have training topics for teachers from homeroom to subject on communication, behavior, mental counseling. management, help and orientation for parents and students.
