The spectacular achievements

A new record has been made in Vietnamese examinations’ history: Quang Binh province has become the locality which has 100 percent of continuing education students passing the high school final exams.

The statistics can show the extraordinary efforts of the province. In 2007, the first year of the movement of “saying “no” to exam frauds”, only 6.65 percent of continuing education students passed the exams. In that year, Quang Binh ranked the 55th among 64 provinces nationwide in the percentages of students passing final exams.

Meanwhile, just four years later, with the growth rate of 19-30 percent per annum, Quang Binh has become the province with 100 percent of continuing education students passing the exams. None of the 643 examinees failed the exams. Meanwhile, 21 other localities have the percentages less than 80 percent

Tuyen Quang province has also made a breakthrough with 99.76 percent of high school students passing the exams, ranking the third nationwide, just after Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh. The achievements have been described as “miracle”, because this is a difficult mountainous province. In 2007, only 14.2 percent of students passed the exams.

Besides Quang Binh and Tuyen Quang, other localities have also witnessed impressive achievements, including Son La, Yen Bai, Ha Giang, Lai Chau and Hoa Binh.
