Nearly 1 million candidates "pass the gate" amid Covid-19 siege

On the morning of July 7, nearly 1 million candidates nationwide entered the first exam session of the 2021 high school graduation exam with the Literature exam - 120 minutes, starting at 7:35 a.m. According to the Ministry of Education and Training, 14,394 candidates were affected by the Covid-19 epidemic and could not take the exam.

It can be said that the 2K3 candidates are a special group of candidates because they have experienced two consecutive years of being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Unlike 2020, this year the high school graduation exam took place in the context of the Covid-19 outbreak and extremely complicated and dangerous developments nationwide. The learning of students in general and grade 12 students in particular was continuously interrupted. There were concerns and worries, but all efforts for the exam were made.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, the total number of candidates registering for the 2021 high school graduation exam is 1,021,340. Of these, the number of candidates using the exam results for both graduation and university admission is nearly 759,000.

During the 2021 high school graduation exam registration session yesterday (July 6), the number of candidates who came to register for the exam was 993,561 (reaching 97.28% of the total number of candidates registered for the exam).

The total number of candidates who did not come to complete the exam procedures was 27,779 (accounting for 2.72%); of which, the number of candidates affected by the Covid-19 epidemic and unable to take the exam was 14,394 (accounting for 1.41% of the total number of candidates registered for the exam).

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Huu Do said that the exam registration day went smoothly at all exam locations; Covid-19 prevention and control solutions were carefully prepared by localities; good weather created favorable conditions for exam organization.

Some candidates who have not yet come to complete the exam procedures will continue to complete the procedures early this morning, July 7, 2021.

Yesterday, July 6, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Huu Do signed an official dispatch to the Departments of Education and Training agreeing to allow F1 and F1 candidates to take the first round of high school graduation exams if the provincial exam steering committee ensures safety against the Covid-19 epidemic.

For candidates who have to take the second round of exams, the Ministry of Education and Training affirms that it will ensure their rights, from the exam stage to university admission.

Accordingly, the Department of Higher Education has proposed to the Ministry's leaders to consider university and college admissions in 2021 based on high school graduation exam results in one sitting, after two rounds of exams to ensure fairness for candidates, helping schools not have to calculate to reserve admission quotas for the second round.

In case the epidemic becomes more complicated, causing the two high school graduation exams to be too far apart, the Ministry will have further instructions.
