82-year-old candidate passes Vietnam's national high school graduation exam
PSNews - Recently, Nguyen Huu Ky, an 82-year-old man from Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, officially passed Vietnam’s 2022 national high school graduation exam with a total score of 22.35.
The above information has been confirmed by the Vocational and Continuing Education Center in Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi. Accordingly, he got 4.75 points out of 10 in literature, 3.6 points in math, 6.5 points in history, and 6.5 points in geography. He is now a high school graduate.
As reported, he was given 0.25 priority points as a candidate who is 35 years or older, as of the date of the high school graduation exam and another 1.0 point based on his grade-A computer certificate while studying as a continuing education student.
During the national high school graduation exam that took place at the beginning of this month, at the exam site of Thanh Xuan Middle School, he drew attention as the oldest candidate in the country still pursuing a high school diploma at the age of over 80.
At that time, he shared that the reason for his pursuit is to return to the profession of Oriental medicine, which requires him to attend a medical school, and a high school diploma is a must for admission to the medical school.
In Vietnam, the national high school graduation exam, considered one of the most important events in the life of every school student, is organized in July every year for 12th graders and independent candidates.
The exam results are used for both high school graduation and enrollment in universities and junior colleges.
