If my second semester score in a subject is less than 3.5 points, can I retake the exam in Vietnam? Are students with disabilities evaluated as same as regular students in Vietnam?

If my second semester score in a subject is less than 3.5 points, can I retake the exam in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Article 15 of the Regulation on assessment and classification of secondary school and high school students issued together with Circular 58/2011/TT-BGDDT stipulates as follows:

1. Students who meet the following conditions shall be passed their grades:

a) Conduct and learning capacity from M or more;

b) Off from class is not more than 45 sessions in a school year (on leave allowed or not allowed, on leave continuously or several times combined).

2. Students of one of the following cases shall not be passed their grades:

a) Off from class is more than 45 sessions in a school year (on leave allowed or not allowed, on leave continuously or several times combined);

b) Learning capacity of school year reached Poor grade or learning capacity and conduct of school year reached Weak grade;

c) After being reexamined a number of subjects, subjects assessed by scoring with GPA below 5.0 or the subjects assessed by comment ranked NS, to re-classify the learning capacity for school year but still not satisfactory medium grade.

d) Conduct of school year reached weak grade, but not completing the training mission in the summer holidays so still be graded weak on conduct.

Thus, according to current regulations compared to the case you mentioned, if you have an average of one subject under 3.5, you may be classified as weak because you have an average of one subject under 3.5. However, determining whether you can retake the exam or not depends on your yearly average score and that subject, in case your yearly average score is not above 5.0 or there is 01 subject below 5.0 points, you will be classified as having to retake the exam in Vietnam.

Are students with disabilities evaluated as same as regular students in Vietnam? 

Article 14 of the Regulation on assessment and classification of secondary school and high school students issued together with Circular 58/2011/TT-BGDDT also stipulates assessment of students with disabilities as follows:

1. Assessment for students with disabilities is based on the principle of promotion and encouragement for the efforts and progress of students as key.

2. Students with disabilities who have the ability to meet the requirements of educational program of secondary schools and high schools are evaluated, rated by the regulations as for normal students but with mitigation requirements for learning outcomes.

3. Students with disabilities that are unable to meet the requirements of educational program of secondary schools and high schools are evaluated based on the efforts and progress of students and it shall not classify this object.

According to this Article, students with disabilities will in some cases be evaluated the same as normal students but with reduced academic performance requirements depending on the specific case in Vietnam.
