VietNamNet Bridge – The math exam questions appeared on the Internet and then
spread out rapidly via Facebook at 9 am on July 4, one hour before the exam hour
finished. Later, some experts found out that the answers provided by the
Ministry of Education and Training “had problems.”
The math exam, which took place on the morning of July 4, was scheduled to begin
at 7.15 am and finish at 10.15 am. Meanwhile, the exam questions were exposed to
the public at 9 am.
On the same day, the Ministry of Education and Training, after checking the exam
preparation works, affirmed that no mistake was made during the process. The
representative also affirmed that the information might be leaked after by
someone from exam rooms, after the questions were delivered to examinees. He
also informed that the ministry has asked the Ministry of Public Affairs to make
investigation over the case.
Some people made a wild guess that the exam questions were copied with the
camerawork and then slipped out of the exam room. However, Deputy Minister of
Education and Training Bui Van Ga said that he could not say nothing until the
problem was clarified.
The police have summoned Le Thanh Tung, who resides in Long Bien district in
Hanoi, a former student of the Nguyen Gia Thieu High School, now a student of
the Hanoi University of Technology.
The police found out that Tung was the person who posted some pictures of the
exam questions on the Internet at 9 am on July 4. Tung said he got up at 9 am
that day, then accessed a website where he found the pictures, and downloaded
the questions and posted on another website.
The statement by Tung was confirmed by the police, who also found the link from
which Tung downloaded the questions. The police think that Tung posted the
questions on the Internet just to queen it over the public, while he did not
have other purposes.
Therefore, a supposition has been put forward that the exam questions came out
prior to 9 am of the day. Some examinees, who smoothly brought hi-tech devices
into the exam room, might post the exam questions on the Internet themselves,
which were then copied by Tung and posted on another website.
However, it remains unclear who was the first person that posted the exam
questions on the Internet.
A source said that the police are taking necessary measures to find the person.
However, even when the person is found, the police would still have to
investigate if the person could receive the answers from outside. Experts
believe that it took much time to receive the signals from outside, and the
examinee would have been discovered by the proctors.
Under the current laws, the university entrance exam questions are considered
national top confidential documents. After the copies of the exam questions are
delivered to examinees, the other copies must be put into boxes and sealed.
Examinees can only submit the exam papers and leave the exam room when 2/3 of
the exam duration elapses. In theory, the exam questions could only made public
after that time.
