Bridge – Attending university entrance
exams to follow university education proves to be the choice of most high
school graduates. However, many students attend the exams because they are
forced to do that.
Trang was born into a well off
family, where her parents run a big guest house in Nam Dinh City. The only
thing Trang had to do was going to school every day, while other works were
covered by her parents.
Like her classmates, Trang also
decided to attend the university entrance exams after finishing high school.
However, the only thing Trang wants to do is being present at the exam room,
while she does not care about the results, because her education would be
arranged by her parents.
Before Trang left for Hanoi to
attend the exams, the parents gave her 7 million dong, a huge sum of money
which they hoped would be enough for Trang for some days, because they heard
that “everything is very expensive in Hanoi.”
Trang arrived in Hanoi on June
29, some days before the exam day. However, she did not spend time on reviewing
lessons to prepare for the exams, but to do the sightseeing and enjoying the
delicious dishes in Hanoi. If she did not go out, she just lied without getting
up in her room watching TVs or chatting online with friends.
“I needed to relax to get fresh
when entering the exams,” she explained.
After two exam days, Trang
returned to Nam Dinh. When asked about the exam, Trang said that she could not
solve many exam questions. However, this is not her worry, because “my parents
would take care about my future.”
Hung from Tuyen Quang province
decided to attend the university entrance exam just because this would give him
the opportunity to travel to the capital city and because he wanted to shirk
works.
While Hung’s parents were busy
with the harvesting, Hung stayed in Hanoi to spend money. The traveled around
Hanoi with taxi, visited his friends at the Hanoi Industry University and
watched TVs. Especially, Hung did not miss any football matches, though he had
to stay up late at night.
Meanwhile, many other students
reportedly disappeared from the exam rooms for different reasons.
A mother was seen weeping and
entreating her daughter to attend the exam at the HCM City Industry University
on July 4. Only when seeing the girl entered the exam room, did the mother left
the school.
“My daughter said she wanted to
attend the university entrance exam. I allowed her to register to attend the
exam, even though I knew she is not really good at learning, and it is very
costly to stay in Hanoi. However, some days ago, she suddenly decided to give
up,” the mother explained.
The girl, like many other
students, attended the exams just to satisfy their parents, while they
understood that they would not pass the exams. Meanwhile, children’s university
education is the dream of all parents; no matter they are in urban or rural
areas. Especially, the parents in the countryside believe that university
education is the only opportunity that helps them get a better life.
However, many students, though
agreeing to go to Hanoi to attend the exams, did not turn up at the exam rooms.
A woman who was seen in front of
a school in HCM City, said that she had to keep a close watch over the son,
because she feared the son would “disappear” like he did last year.
The boy also registered to attend
the exam last year. However, he was not present at the exam room. Only when the
boy called his mother, asking her to pay the debts he incurred at the online
games shop, did the mother realize that the boy was not at exam room, but at
game shop.
