What are the instructions and response scenarios of the Ministry of Education and Training? Mr. Huynh Van Chuong: Although the scale of exam boards tends to be more concentrated, the number of candidates has increased and the area in many provinces has clearly expanded. This is a problem that requires localities such as Lam Dong, Ho Chi Minh City, Ninh Binh, and Phu Tho to carefully calculate plans to transport exam questions from the printing board to exam sites to ensure absolute safety. The Ministry of Education and Training has worked directly and agreed on technical solutions with the directors of the local departments of education and training. In addition, in the face of unusual weather developments in June such as severe heat, floods, and natural disasters, we are closely coordinating with the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting to promptly issue early warnings, absolutely not being subjective in all situations. Faced with the risk of fraud using high-tech equipment and the development of artificial intelligence (AI), how does the education sector coordinate with the police force to deploy preventive solutions, sir? Mr. Huynh Van Chapter: We identify two spearheads of action. The first is technological control. The Ministry of Education and Training requires localities to strengthen technical measures to detect and prevent high-tech cheating devices right from the inspection stage before entering the exam room. Second, and also the decisive factor, is peoples sense of responsibility. The Ministry of Public Security has organized intensive training for functional forces of all provinces and cities to improve the ability of exam examiners to recognize high-tech equipment. Communication work to parents and students has also been promoted. It should be emphasized that the act of leaking exam questions to the outside world is not only a serious violation of exam regulations but also a violation of the law on protecting top secret state secrets and will be prosecuted for criminal liability.

How will the inspection and examination work be tightened in the coming time to minimize errors, sir? Mr. Huynh Van Chuong: Inspection activities are determined to be a key step, carried out comprehensively and covering the area in all three stages: before, during and after the exam. This year, in addition to the inspection force of the Ministry and localities, we mobilized about 6,000 officials and lecturers from universities and colleges to participate in supervision. For incidents or situations that arise in the exam room, the Ministry of Education and Training has strictly directed local steering committees to seriously handle them in accordance with regulations. Officials at test sites are absolutely not allowed to arbitrarily handle situations beyond their authority to avoid the risk of causing greater consequences. Regarding exam marking, especially the only essay subject, Literature, what solutions does the Ministry have to ensure accuracy and fairness between localities? Mr. Huynh Van Chuong: While multiple-choice subjects are graded entirely by machine, the marking of Literature subjects is specially strengthened and directed by the Ministry of Education and Training through three synchronous solutions. First, the exam committee must ensure that the exam structure has better differentiation. Next, the written instructions and exam answers must be detailed and clear to create uniformity in evaluation between councils. Finally, we tightened the supervision process at the Essay Exam Marking Boards, forcing three steps to be strictly implemented: organizing test marking to unify awareness, marking the whole board, and organizing random testing to detect and promptly adjust discrepancies. The exam is about to start, what message do you have for the candidates at this time? Mr. Huynh Van Chuong: During the sprint period before the exam, the most important thing right now is that they need to have a rest regime. science, take good care of your physical and mental health to enter the exam with the most confident and ready mind.
