Vietnam Tuyen Quang exam retake and admission status

Overview

The re-examination process at Tuyên Quang Specialized High School has concluded following a large-scale cheating scandal during the 2026 high-school graduation exam. Investigations by the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial authorities uncovered an operation involving 328 examinees, including 147 students who achieved perfect scores of 10 in mathematics—a pattern deemed abnormal across 13 of the 15 exam rooms.

As a result, 29 suspects, including teachers, administrators, and officials, were charged with abusing their positions, with seven placed in pre-trial detention. To restore objectivity, the Ministry of Education and Training cancelled the original results. In response, the provincial People's Committee established a steering committee, chaired by Deputy Chairman Đỗ Anh Tuấn, to oversee the retake process.

The retake was held on August 14 and 15 for 326 students. To ensure integrity, the plan explicitly barred relatives of candidates, persons under investigation, or those linked to the earlier misconduct from any exam-related duties. The process featured heightened security, including police, canine units, and 24/7 camera surveillance.

Officials reported a 100% attendance rate and no violations during the sessions. Educators noted that the newly developed exam papers, particularly for Mathematics and English, featured high levels of differentiation and complex reasoning to accurately assess competency. The Ministry described the process as safe and compliant with regulations. Official results and score distributions are expected to be released by August 19, 2026, with any appeal processes to be completed by August 28.
