Experts in Việt Nam are raising concerns about a potential “grade inflation” phenomenon, noting a growing number of students graduating with honors – giỏi (good) and xuất sắc (excellent). This increase in top-tier graduates is prompting questions about whether the academic standards accurately reflect students’ practical skills and abilities. Specialists emphasize that a disconnect between high grades and demonstrable competencies like independent thinking, problem-solving, and professional readiness requires a review of current assessment methods. The core issue is ensuring that the qualifications earned genuinely represent a student's capability to succeed in their chosen field. A closer examination of training quality is therefore necessary to maintain the integrity of Việt Nam’s higher education system. The concern stems from a perceived imbalance between academic results and practical application of knowledge. Ultimately, the goal is to align degree classifications with actual skills and workplace demands.
