In Vietnam, since 2015, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has decided to abolish university entrance exams and advocates the use of high school graduation exam results of candidates for admission to go to universities. The 2015 and 2016 exam questions for the Math exam are the essay questions. From 2017 up to now, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has applied the form of multiple-choice exams for Mathematics in the high school graduation exam. There are many mixed opinions about the impact of this form of examination and admission on the quality of university students. In particular, the switch from the form of essay examination to multiple-choice exams led the entire Vietnam Mathematical Association at that time to send recommendations on continuing to maintain the form of essay examination for mathematics. The purposes of this article are analysis and evaluation the effects of relevant factors on the academic performance of advanced math students of university students, and offer solutions to optimize university entrance exam. The data set was provided by Training Management Department and Training Quality Control and Testing Laboratory of the University of Finance – Marketing. This dataset includes information about math high school graduation test scores, learning process scores (scores assessed by direct instructors), and advanced math course end test scores of 2834 students in courses from 2015 to 2019. Linear and non-linear regression machine learning models were used to solve the tasks given in this article. An analysis of the data was conducted to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the change in university enrollment of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training. Tools from the Python libraries have been supported and used effectively in the process of solving problems. Through building and surveying the model, there are suggestions and solutions to problems in enrollment and input quality assurance. Specifically, in the preparation of entrance exams, the entrance exam questions should not exceed 61-66 % of multiple choice questions.

Lifelong learning is the continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills which occurs throughout life with an emphasis on the full development of personality. Despite the increasing interest of Vietnamese policy makers in promoting lifelong learning, the implementation of lifelong learning at universities is still limited. This research delineated and critiqued the policies and the current practices of lifelong learning at the college level of the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam (MOET) under the perspective of critical theory. From the discussion of the policies and practices that the MOET was implementing, recommendations for the policy makers were made with the aim of helping Vietnamese students embrace their right to lifelong learning and fulfill the personal and democratic purpose of education.

Background: The kingdom of Swaziland is a signatory to policies on universal education that ensure high quality basic education for all. Education for All is a commitment to provide equal opportunities for all children and the youth as provided for in the country’s constitution of 2005. The tone for the introduction of inclusive education in Swaziland was inevitably set by the new constitution of 2005. Since then several policies have been produced by the government, all aimed at providing equal education opportunities to all children in the country. These policies include the Swaziland National Children’s Policy (2009), Poverty Reduction Strategy and Action Plan (2006) and Draft Inclusive Education Policy (2008). The Education for All Policy (2010) is the policy that upon implementation became a stimulus for the introduction of inclusive education into mainstream schools; as a result, all teachers in the country’s schools were expected to be competent enough to teach learners with a wide range of educational needs. However, in-service teachers received inadequate staff development and training ahead of the implementation of inclusive education and a majority of teachers were not professionally developed for inclusive education, as pre-service students at tertiary training level.Objectives: This study investigated barriers in the implementation of inclusive education at high schools in the Gege branch, Swaziland, with a view to finding lasting solutions to inform research and government policy.Method: This research is a qualitative interpretive case study based on selected schools in the Gege branch of schools. Data was obtained through semi-structured research interviews and document analysis. It was processed and analysed through data coding, unitising, categorising and emergence of themes, which became the findings of the study.Results: Lack of facilities in the governments’ schools and teachers’ incompetence in identifying learners facing learning challenges in their classrooms are some barriers to inclusivity.Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a need for the Ministry of Education and Training to craft an inclusive curriculum in line with the inclusive policy in order to cater for the diverse educational needs of all learners in mainstream schools. It is thought that instituting a vibrant in-service and pre-service teacher training programme by the Ministry of Education and Training will increase teachers’ capacity to a level where teaching in inclusive classrooms does not negatively affect their competence.

Informatiom Communication Technology (ICT) has an important place in the educational innovation program. New policies on educational innovation are built on the premises and prospects of effective ICT application in teaching and learning (Richards, 2004). Studies on ICT application in teaching and Electronic Book or Digital Hydbrid Text in Education and Training have been researched and developed by serveral countries in the US and Europe. This article analyzes some policies for ICT application in teaching and educational innovation in Vietnam. These policies are analyzed according to the approaches to the Government of Vietnam Orientation on the application of information technology in education; The Ministry of Education and Training's policies on the Vietnamese education renovation requirements, ICT equipment infrastructure, the capacity of teachers to apply ICT in teaching. The research results show that the government has tried to give directions for ICT to be widely applied from management to teaching activities. The Ministry of Education and Training has also issued circulars and specific instructions to promptly implement orientations from the government. However, the approach to applying ICT in education has many multidimensional and too broad theoretical bases. The instructions on ICT are too sketchy and not yet specific for the application of ICT in teaching and learning.

Hvilke roller har eksamen i norsk grunnopplæring? I Forskrift til opplæringslova framgår det blant annet at eksamenskarakteren skal fastsette kompetansen til eleven ved slutten av opplæringen i faget. Denne artikkelen viser imidlertid at policydokumenter og policyutviklere har en rekke forventninger til hva man skal oppnå ved å ha eksamen og hva man skal kunne benytte eksamensresultater til. I et samspill mellom teori og empiri identifiser artikkelen tre roller for vurdering: å sertifisere, styre og støtte læring og undervisning. Dette begrepsapparatet brukes til å analysere både eksamens formelt definerte formål, og tilsiktede og utilsiktede funksjoner ved eksamenssystemet. Artikkelen baserer seg på tre typer historiske data: (i) Stortingsmeldinger, (ii) Utdanningsdirektoratets årlige rapporter, Utdanningsspeilet, samt (iii) ekspertintervjuer gjennomført i 2013 med en statssekretær og en seniorrådgiver i Kunnskapsdepartementet, og direktøren og en avdelingsdirektør i Utdanningsdirektoratet. I tillegg er det gjort en analyse av gjeldende bestemmelser, slik de kommer til uttrykk i Forskrift til opplæringslova og Rammeverket for eksamen av 2017. Artikkelen avdekker manglende avklaringer av eksamens formål og peker på at dette kan føre til at politikere og andre policyutviklere forvalter og videreutvikler eksamenssystemet på sviktende grunnlag. Videre kan det føre til at Utdanningsdirektoratet, Fylkesmannen og andre tilsynsmyndigheter, skoleeiere, skoleledere, lærere, foreldre og elever bruker eksamensdata på uheldige måter. Artikkelen konkluderer med at lovverk, forskrift og rammeverk for eksamen bør gjennomgås og endres til eksplisitt å uttrykke de rollene eksamen skal fylle og ikke. Slik kan man få et bedre utgangspunkt for å utvikle eksamensprøver og sikre hensiktsmessig bruk av eksamensresultater både nasjonalt og lokalt.Nøkkelord: eksamen, standpunkt, vurdering, policy, karakterer, formål.The multiple roles of national exams in the certification, governing and support of learning and instruction in Norwegian secondary education.AbstractWhat are the roles of the national exams in the Norwegian school system? The regulations of the Education Act simply state that exam marks should reflect the student’s competency upon completing the education. This article demonstrates that policy documents and policy-makers express a range of expectations in the use of exam results. By integrating theoretical and empirical encounters, the article identifies three roles of educational assessment: to certify, govern and support learning and instruction. This conceptual framework is used to analyse the formally defined purposes of the exams and intended and unintended functions of the examination system. The article is based on three types of historical data: (i) Ministry reports to the Parliament («white papers»), (ii) the annual report of the National Agency for Education and Training («The Education Mirror») and (iii) expert interviews undertaken in 2013 with a state secretary and a government official in the Ministry of Education and Research, and the general director and department director of the National Agency for Education and Training. Additionally, it analyses current regulations of the Education Act and the «The Examination Framework» of 2017. The article illuminates that clarification of the purposes of the exams is insufficient and maintains that this may lead politicians and other policymakers to undertake insufficient approaches to the administration and development of the examination system. Further, it can cause inappropriate use of examination data by the executive agency, school inspectors, municipalities, school leaders, teachers, parents and students. The article concludes that legislation, regulations and the Examination Framework should be reviewed and changed to explicitly state the roles the examination system is expected to fulfil. This way, one may achieve a better foundation for the development of exams and facilitate sound use of exam data both nationally and locally.Keywords: examinations, teacher judgments, assessment, policy, grades, purposes
