In addition to documents, trial test questions compiled by DOET, each high school also compiled additional study materials for students.
With experience in organizing the national high school exam 2015, teaching and learning activities at high schools have been performed more smoothly this year. In addition to formal training programs in the morning, additional training in the afternoon, schools organize review for the exam in groups based on subjects and student’s competence; select experienced teachers to teach students.
Le Nhat Nam, Deputy Director of DOET, said DOET asked schools to organize remedial classes for weak students; teachers to take more care of weak students, encourage good students to help weak students in learning and reviewing. Schools should not create more pressure for these weak students. Good students need to have flexible learning time with increasing self-study and teacher’s instructions. Schools also have to encourage students to organize group-study at school, create the best material conditions for students to learn and lunch at school.
Along with the review, high schools also plan for trial exams in order for students to become familiar with the test format, and for teachers to understand the learning quality of students then to have timely adjustments.
