Vietnam is transitioning its high school graduation exam grading for Literature starting in 2026. The new system replaces the traditional "point-counting" method with a rubric-based approach. This shift focuses on evaluating the overall level of a student's performance rather than simply tallying specific ideas. Such a change represents a significant move from technical scoring to a more qualitative assessment of student capabilities. Consequently, this transition imposes new professional requirements on the examiners. Examiners must now adapt to a more nuanced evaluation framework. This reform aims to modernize the assessment of literary analysis and writing skills.
