The Hanoi event was to review the first semester and plan for the next,
as well as to discuss education universilastion (access for all) and
the 2014 examinations.
Praising efforts made by the education sector recently, the deputy PM
said that the sector has used its strengths to handle promptly its
weaknesses.
It is necessary to mobilise social resources to make pre-school
education for five-year-old children universal, he said, noting the need
to build schools within industrial zones for the children of workers.
For exams this year, the leader asked MoET to closely monitor secondary
school’s graduation exams, prioritising the students’ needs.
“Any changes should be announced ahead of the school year so that students have time to prepare,” Deputy PM Dam said.
According to the MoET, due attention has been paid to pre-school
universalisation for five-year-old children, while new effective
teaching methodology has been rolled out.
Nursery schools are now present in most residential areas, the ministry
said, adding that localities have planned land for more schools.
High on the agenda at the conference were changes to the secondary school graduation exams in 2014 and for the coming years.
Many agreed that by decreasing the number of subjects sat for the 2014
graduation exams from six to four, the pressure on students, as well as
their parents, would be eased.
Director of the Quang Binh provincial Department of Education and
Training Doan Duc Liem said that although some students are exempt from
sitting university exams, due to prior high-level achievements, the MoET
must work to ensure equality between schools and localities.
As well as other suggestions, some participating said that foreign languages should be made compulsory.
