On the afternoon of April 27, 2020, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam worked with the Ministry of Education and Training and other ministries and agencies on plans for university and college enrollment in 2020, under the condition of COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Education and Training affirms that despite this disease, the high school graduation exam this year will be still held seriously, honestly, ensuring accurate, objective and reliable exam results. The Ministry will design the appropriate exam questions; organize close supervision of the entire exam process; publicity and transparency of test scores and school transcripts for public opinion monitoring ...

Universities and colleges can use the exam results as a basis for admission. For those who have graduated from high school in the previous years, they can take the exam this year to get the results of admission to college and university.

According to the delegates, the university and college admission work is under the autonomy of the institution. The Law on Higher Education 2019 stipulates the necessary conditions. Each institution also has the right to stipulate more conditions sufficient to suit the specific fields of training, priority conditions, ...

However, representatives of the Association of Vietnamese Universities and Colleges said that many schools have considered the plan to organize a separate entrance examination but this would be very complicated not only for candidates but also for schools. Therefore, if the high school graduation exam still ensures honesty and objectivity as in previous years. In case the degree of differentiation slightly decreases and the exam still ensures the difference of 0.25 points, the majority of universities and colleges still consider this as a base of admission and the process remains unchanged.

Representatives of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Vietnam also said that the plan of announcing a first point for the combined test is a radical solution to avoid deviation but for this year's exam due to the time is too long. urgently, the Ministry of Education and Training should consider the plan to continue announcing the composition test points of the composition test. The announcement of a combined exam score can be done from next year's exam so that universities and colleges have time to prepare for new enrollment plans.
