Students allowed to take up to higher grade despite poor performance
By Bach Nhat 15:51, 2014/05/26
More and more students are “sitting in the wrong classes”, placed in a higher grade that does not suit their learning capabilities.
Vo Thu Tam, headmaster of the Chi Lang Primary School, said Minh was one of 36 students at the school under an integrated education model reserved for students with mental retardation, physical impairments or autis.

The students are allowed to take up to three years to fulfill the curricula for one grade.

However, Minh’s grade-point average was good enough to move him to the next grade

Minh, whose grades were poor in the previous four academic years, had improved in the second semester of the fourth grade, with exam marks of 5 or higher.

However, the marks in the record truly reflect the boy’s actual ability?

Le Thi Huong, a history teacher at a prestigious school in Hanoi, said on Infonet that she was not surprised at Minh’s and Le’s situations, saying that students “sitting in wrong classes” can be seen not only in rural or remote areas but also in Hanoi.
