Priority plus points reduction for candidates who score from 22.5 points

From 2023, the Ministry of Education and Training will adjust the method of calculating regional priority points and give priority to candidates with a total score of 22.5 points or more.

The formula for calculating the priority points that candidates are entitled to = [(30 – Tổng điểm đạt được của thí sinh)/7,5] x The total priority score is determined normally.

For example, candidates in area 1, when they get 25 points in 3 subjects, will calculate (30-25)/7.5 x 0.75 = 0.5 points (down 0.25 points compared to regulations). The higher the candidate’s score, the lower the priority will be, and if the score is 30, the priority point will no longer exist. Thus, there will be no candidates whose scores exceed 30, the competition will be fairer in high-scoring industries.

The plus point level corresponds to the test score of the candidate in each region (excluding priority points for special groups of candidates such as children of war invalids and martyrs, people with meritorious services to the revolution…)

Explaining the above change, the representative of the Ministry of Education and Training said that through the statistics of the high school graduation exam scores over the past 3 years, the group of candidates who did not receive priority points (accounting for 25% of the total number of graduates) always had a common score. The total of 3 subjects is much higher than the remaining groups of candidates.

After adding priority points according to regulations, the percentage of candidates with total points of 3 subjects below 22.5 points of the group that has added priority points is close to the group of candidates who do not receive priority points. This proves that adding priority points has created fairness and increased access to higher education for groups of candidates with more difficult circumstances.

However, data analysis shows that it is not unreasonable that the percentage of candidates with high scores of 22.5 points or more in the priority group has skyrocketed, much higher (at many points, even the percentage of students with high scores). this rate is twice as high) compared to the group of candidates who are not in priority.

This leads to unfairness when candidates are admitted to industries and schools with a high level of competition; leading to the phenomenon that some industries have a standard score of 30.

“Applying a priority policy to help increase access to higher education and training for candidates in disadvantaged and disadvantaged areas, however, it is also necessary to ensure fairness, avoid letting support That puts the other group of contestants at a disadvantage.” Ministry representative said.

In 2022, the basic regulations and enrollment will remain the same as the previous year. Some contents are adjusted to overcome difficulties and unreasonableness, creating maximum favorable conditions for candidates and schools.

Candidates register for the high school graduation exam and for university and college admissions online (on the Ministry’s Portal or the National Public Service Portal). Candidates register for the first round of university entrance examination from the end of the high school graduation exam until the announcement of the exam results and the review scores (if any). Candidates take the initiative in terms of time and enrollment requirements; The registration and adjustment is done in one batch (instead of two batches as before), which is convenient for candidates and schools.

The requests for enrollment registration (by industry, method, training institution) throughout the system are pre-selected by each school, pre-qualification (if necessary) and uploaded to the aspiration processing software – the support system. enrollment of the Ministry of Education and Training (as in 2021). Candidates will be admitted with the highest aspiration when meeting the conditions of the training institution.

For majors that use multiple methods and combinations for admission, and multiple admissions groups, schools must explain and allocate appropriate criteria between methods and combinations. When schools change or supplement the selection method or combination, there must be grounds and a reasonable schedule; do not reduce more than 30% of the number of targets compared to the previous year (except for the case of changes or additions at least 1 year before the application is opened) to avoid affecting the study and review of the candidates.

In the regulations College entrance In the new 2022, the Ministry of Education and Training divides candidates into 4 regions, 2 priority groups. Specifically, the priority score applied to area 1 is 0.75 point, area 2 – rural area is 0.5 point, area 2 is 0.25 point, area 3 is not given priority points.

The enrollment area of ​​each candidate is determined by the location of the school where the candidate studied the longest time in high school. If the study period (longest) in the regions is similar, it will be determined according to the region of the most recent school attended by the candidate.
