Vietnam reports 74 exam violations, no paper leaks in 2026 graduation tests

Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training announced that 74 students violated exam regulations during the 2026 high school graduation exams. The violations primarily involved students bringing unauthorized materials, including mobile phones, into examination rooms.

Le My Phong, deputy head of the Quality Management Department, stated at a press conference on June 12 that while 5 students were caught with unauthorized documents and 69 with phones, no invigilators violated regulations. Crucially, Phong confirmed that unlike in some previous years, there have been no detected leaks of exam papers online.

This year's exams, administered under the 2018 general education curriculum, saw over 1.2 million students register nationwide. The ministry reported that the exams were conducted seriously and safely, with technology integrated into various stages. Preparations included enhanced training for exam staff and technical measures to prevent cheating.

The exam results are scheduled to be released on July 1, approximately 12 days earlier than the previous year. The ministry plans a comprehensive analysis of the exam data to evaluate educational quality and inform future adjustments.
