As expected, the 2020 college benchmark score rose to a record high. But the benchmark increases, it is unlikely that the quality of college admission has increased, because the high school graduation exam in 2020 only serves the graduation goal. From this fact, many ideas suggest that universities need to innovate in enrollment methods, but if they continue to rely on scores, it will be difficult to select talented people and special candidates will be easily missed.
There is a lack of differentiation of exam questions, adequate for graduation consideration objectives.
In recent days, the public opinion has paid attention to the story of the candidate Ngo Minh Hieu, due to the lack of 0.25 points, he could not pass the Hanoi Medical University, despite achieving 28.15 points / 3 subjects. Hieu’s story also represents thousands of other candidates across the country, even with very high scores, above 27 points, but he could not pass his aspirations because this year’s university benchmarks are very high, especially those “hot” field, “hot” industry.
As can be cited, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Hanoi National University) has a study of Korean studies of up to 30 points / 3 C00 subjects. Hanoi Law University Economics Law also scored up to 29 points. This is the number of “dream” scores of many exam candidates in the social sector. In addition, the Journalism faculties of many schools also obtain the standard score of more than 28 points, which means that a candidate needs more than 9 points to pass.
This also means that 9 points / subject still have the risk of not graduating. Could this be unusual for this year’s admissions season? Are benchmarks going up because students are better this year or are tests easier?
Raising a point of view on this issue, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien, Vice Chancellor of Hanoi University of Technology, said that the advanced benchmark score at the top above is not just due to the exam being assesses as easy, but also because This year, the university has autonomous tuition, so it has implemented many and a variety of admissions methods.
Like the Polytechnic University, in addition to examining the talent profiles of students who win awards in national and international competitions of excellent students, the school also organizes a separate exam. Similarly, in 2020, exercising autonomy in enrollment, universities will also apply for admission by many methods, not just based on high school graduation exam scores as in previous years.
By diversifying the registration forms, it is inevitable that the quota of candidates who use only the results of high school graduation exams will decrease. This leads to a higher competitive rate among candidates using their test scores for college admission, and of course their benchmarks will increase.
Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Vice Chancellor in Charge of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (National University of Vietnam, Hanoi), directs real history at his school. Although the Korean school is enrolled in the first year, but the highest level in the entire school and the country. This is because the goal for Korean studies is 50, but the school has dropped the goal of directly enrolling 30 students and has only 20 admissions goals with scores on high school graduation exams. Meanwhile, thousands of candidates with scores of 28.5 to 29 are applying to the industry. In order not to exceed the quota, the school must award a score of 30 (including priority points).
According to associate professor Dr. Pham Minh Son, deputy director of the Academy of Journalism and Propaganda, this year’s benchmark has risen for many reasons. In which, due to the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, the high school graduation exam in 2020 is taken later than each year, the candidates have time to prepare well for their knowledge. This year’s exam questions below are designed to serve the primary purpose of examining high school graduation to enhance colleges autonomy. The differentiation of the topic decreased, to suit many candidates.
Next, due to the adjustment of the university’s enrollment methods, increasing the criteria for direct admission and combined admission, reducing the admission fee with high school graduation exam scores. All of these factors have affected the benchmarks according to this year’s high school graduation test, making the competition for college entrance exams from candidates who only use test scores to admission to college. what.
Innovate and diversify enrollment methods to select talented individuals
After 5 years of organizing the “2-in-1” exam, with the goal of considering both graduation and college tuition, starting in 2020, the high school exam will only serve the primary purpose of graduation consideration. This change is inevitable, in line with innovation requirements and global trends.
This change in enrollment also causes a change in the thinking of students and parents. Gone are the days of putting all your energy into the high school exam for a chance to pass college. Because now there are many paths to the school you want, not necessarily just because of the national exam scores.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien, Vice Chancellor of Hanoi University of Technology, rather than just looking at scores, many schools have been and are being innovative in finding alternatives to traditional admission. As a self-assessment test, thinking test, SAT entrance exam, or international language certificate.
The high school exam is a good opportunity for schools to find potential students, but associate professor Nguyen Phong Dien believes that schools should also consider new admissions methods. Because this exam aims to consider graduation, while the aim of the university is to find students who are suitable for the profession they are training. The two goals are different, so diversification and innovation in enrollment methods are an inevitable requirement of universities.
According to Ms Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), there are many reasons for high or very high admission scores to a profession. In particular, there is a reason why the admission fee for the subject is low or very low, while the candidate wishes to enroll large. In addition, the fee partially reserved for admission by other means does not utilize the results of high school graduation exams. While this year’s exam questions have lower requirements than those of 2019, the candidate’s overall score is higher.
According to Ms Thuy, current enrollment regulations allow candidates to register with unlimited aspirations in schools and disciplines, so the chances of the candidate passing college are higher. Current regulations also allow universities to have autonomy in enrollment, not necessarily based on the results of the high school admission exams. Schools must promote this autonomy, innovate in enrollment methods, with the aim of selecting talented candidates, in line with the school’s training strategy.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training, Nguyen Van Phuc: High school exam results are not the only way to enroll in a university.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education and Training, in the past 3 years, the enrollment results of the entire system tended to gradually reduce the proportion of admission of the use of high school examination results, gradually increase the proportion of admission of school records and other other method.
Specifically, the number of candidates who were admitted using the results of the 2017 national high school exam represented 81.5%; in 2018 it represented 73.6%; in 2019 it is 62.4% of the total number of selected candidates. University admissions by other methods (from skills assessment, aptitude test, culture, through international certificates …) around 10%. This figure shows that college tuition results tend to gradually reduce dependence on the use of high school examination results, the enrollment rate of other methods is increasing.
This changing trend is also evident in the university’s own admissions schemes. The same occurs with the spirit of autonomy of the Higher Education Law, in line with the innovation roadmap for higher education, promoting university autonomy in recent years.
This process is also consistent with the trend of university enrollment in the world, in which enrollment is done many times a year, using a combination of selection methods, using high school results (GPA scores), graduation test scores high school, standardized test scores for college entrance (SAT, ACT …). So using your high school test results isn’t the only way to enroll in college. The schools are autonomous in recruitment, choosing the most suitable methods to select the candidates who best meet the training requirements of the school. Bich Ha (record)
