In a significant step towards diversifying recognized foreign language certifications, the Ministry of Education and Training has issued Circular No. 02/2024/TT-BGDĐT dated March 6, 2024, expanding the list of English language certificates accepted in the high school graduation exam from 2024 onwards.
Of note, certificates from Cambridge English such as B1 Preliminary, B1 Business Preliminary, and B1 Linguaskill are now considered equivalent to 10 points for the English subject, enabling candidates to exempt this subject in the graduation exam. This opens up a new option for thousands of candidates who wish to demonstrate their English proficiency without undergoing traditional testing.
This diversification not only provides candidates with more choices to showcase their English proficiency but also reflects the widespread recognition by the Ministry of Education and Training towards international standards in assessing language proficiency. It also encourages candidates to study and enhance their English proficiency, a crucial skill in today's globalized world.
It is evident that the value of Cambridge English certificates is increasingly being elevated, not only within the framework of the Vietnamese education system but also globally recognized and highly regarded. These certificates serve not only as objective tools to assess learners' English proficiency but also as credible evidence of the ability to use English flexibly and effectively in academic and international work environments.
