Eliminate regulations encouraging universities to support students in scientific and technical research exams

The competition's winning rate has also changed. The number of gold medal projects accounts for a maximum of 10% of the total projects, double the current 5% of the first prize. Similarly, the rate of silver medal projects increases from 10% to 20%, bronze medals from 15% to 40%. The total prize rate increases from 50% to 70%.

Students participate in the science and technology research competition

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to change the project evaluation criteria. The total score will remain 100, but the score for data collection, analysis and interpretation will decrease from 20 to 15. The difference will be compensated by the creativity criterion, increasing from 20 to 25 points. The remaining criteria will not change the score.

In particular, this draft circular has two notable contents. First, remove the content "encouraging universities , colleges, research facilities, organizations and individuals to support scientific and technical research activities of high school students"; second, reduce from 22 competition fields as currently regulated to only 8 fields.

According to some experts, the Ministry of Education and Training's removal of regulations encouraging training institutions, organizations, and individuals to support students' research projects and the reduction of the number of competition fields also contributed to making the competition more practical.

Many opinions also believe that the Ministry of Education and Training's announcement of a draft to amend regulations on scientific and technical research exams for high school students is very necessary. In recent years, every year there has been a "controversy" about the honesty of exams at all levels, especially students whose projects have won awards and have been awarded extra points or directly admitted to universities by many major universities.
