The literature topic coincides with online speculation, what does the Ministry of Education and Training say?

After receiving feedback from a number of press agencies regarding the literature exam questions in the 2024 high school graduation exam coinciding with some speculations on social networks before the exam took place, the Standing Committee of the National Steering Committee for the 2024 High School Graduation Exam requested the Exam Council to report and give the following comments:

The literature exam is in accordance with the structure and format announced by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), with a reasonable distribution between the poetry and literature sections.

The reading comprehension section of the exam discusses the creativity and responsibility of the artist, the elements that make up the history of human art; it does not coincide with previous speculations.

Regarding the social argument (writing section), regardless of the topic, candidates are always required to have practical connections, express their thoughts, feelings, comments, and responsibilities for that issue to ensure practicality, educational orientation, and nurturing of the soul and personality that many documents, works, etc. aim for.

The Ministry of Education and Training informs: The number of literary works in the current curriculum and the scope of the questions are limited. Therefore, guessing the correct name of the work and author used in the exam is random and can happen. However, the exam uses the entire work or a part of the work or a specific part of the work as well as the requirements (questions) for the candidates are completely different from the previous guess.

Therefore, up to this point, the National Steering Committee for the 2024 High School Graduation Exam has affirmed that the Literature exam has been kept absolutely confidential.

Previously, on the evening of June 25, in some groups and forums on the Internet, false information was shared and spread about "leaking the 2024 high school graduation exam questions".

After receiving the feedback, the Ministry of Education and Training discussed and requested the Ministry of Public Security to support the verification of the subject posting false information. The Ministry of Public Security is verifying to handle according to the provisions of law.

To avoid causing public confusion and affecting the psychology of candidates taking the 2024 high school graduation exam, the Ministry of Education and Training requests that people do not share the above false information. Acts of posting or sharing false, fake, or distorted information will be handled according to current regulations.
