3.4.2. Subjects and content of the test
Test subjects: Leaders and experts of the Department of Education and Training; managers, teachers, and employees of high schools and members of the external evaluation team.
The test content focuses on two main issues:
- Are the proposed measures really necessary?
- Under current conditions, are the proposed measures feasible for Lao Cai province?
3.4.3. Testing method
To confirm the necessity and feasibility of the measures, we conducted an expert survey. The content of the survey is in accordance with Appendix 2.
We conducted a 3-round referendum:
Round 1: Consultation through discussion and interview (20 people are experts in educational quality assurance, high school principals of some accredited schools and have participated as heads of external assessment teams many times)
Round 2: Consultation through conferences held at the Department of Education and Training in March 2019, attended by more than 70 people including managers and experts of the Department of Education and Training, and leaders of high schools.
Round 3: Survey by ballot to collect broad opinions from leaders and experts of the Department of Education and Training; managers, teachers, staff of high schools and members of the evaluation team outside Lao Cai province.
Through consultation at the conference and survey by sending out questionnaires, we collected 245 ballots. All collected ballots fully recorded the level of assessment of the necessity and feasibility of the measures.
After synthesizing the votes and using mathematical statistics to process and calculate the percentage of each measure, the results are shown in Tables 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
3.4.4. Test evaluation scale
Rating based on receipts only
Regarding the necessity of the question at 4 levels, each answer measure "Very necessary" is counted as 4 points, "Necessary" is counted as 3 points, "Less necessary" is counted as 2 points, "Not necessary" is counted as 1 point.
Regarding feasibility with questions at 4 levels, each answer "Very feasible" is counted as 4 points, "Feasible" is counted as 3 points, "Less feasible" is counted as 2 points, "Not feasible" is counted as 1 point.
3.5. Test results
a) Necessity of measures

Note: X : Average score (1 ≤ X ≤ 4); SL: Number; %: Percentage
Comment: The measures for managing educational quality assurance activities in Lao Cai high schools are assessed by the managers, teachers and employees of the schools as being of high urgency , showing that the average score of the proposed management measures is 3.15 < X < 3.51. Thereby, it can be seen that the proposed measures are quite consistent, proving that the measures are currently very necessary for managing educational quality assurance activities in Lao Cai province. The measures are
The most necessary measure is measure 1 (with X = 3.51 - ranked 1), the measure assessed at the lowest level of necessity is measure 6 (with X = 3.15 - ranked 6), which is still above the necessary level. That is completely consistent with the survey data on the current status of management of educational quality assurance work in Lao Cai province, because the system of measures mentioned above has directly addressed the limitations in the management of educational quality assurance work in Lao Cai province.
The level of necessity of the measures to manage the quality assurance activities of high schools in Lao Cai province, proposed is relatively even, because the distance between the average score values is not too far apart. That affirms that to improve the quality of education in general as well as the quality of quality assurance work of high schools in Lao Cai province in particular, it is necessary to coordinate all 6 measures above, each measure has its own strengths, they will complement each other to achieve the highest efficiency.
b) Feasibility of measures
The feasibility of the measure is determined based on practical factors, suitability to specific local conditions and circumstances; conformity with legal documents of the industry and state laws; conformity with ethical and cultural values in society; and high feasibility.

Comment: Measures for managing educational quality assurance activities in high schools in Lao Cai province are assessed as feasible and very feasible , showing an average score.
The general mean of the proposed management measures is 2.81 < X < 3.40. The feasibility of the measures is assessed differently by experts, depending on the actual conditions of each educational institution.
The measures assessed as highly feasible are Measure, with an average score of 3.50, ranked at level 1; Measure 2, with an average score of 3.44, ranked at level 2.
The management measure with the lowest feasibility is measure 6, with an average score of 2.81, ranked 6/6. The reason for this result is because the quality of education of schools is one of the standards of KĐCLGD, when using this result to evaluate the quality of schools.
If not well controlled with specific regulations, it will easily cause achievement disease. However, with an average score of 2.81, this measure is still very feasible.

To determine the correlation between the necessity and feasibility of the above proposed measures, the author uses Spearman's correlation coefficient to calculate:
R: Rank correlation coefficient. di: Difference of ordinal values.
n: Number of measures proposed.
Substitute the values into the formula and we have R = 0.88
This correlation is positive and very close, which confirms that the level of conformity between the necessity and feasibility of the measures is very high and has practical value.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Conclusion
In order to carry out the research objectives and tasks of the topic, through theory and practice, the thesis has proven the scientific hypothesis stated in Section 4 of the Introduction and presented the research results in 3 chapters 1, 2 and 3. From the research results, the author of the thesis draws the following conclusions and recommendations:
1.1. About theory
The theoretical issues presented in Chapter 1 include: Purpose, meaning, content, process along with the management contents of the quality assurance activities of high schools, showing that it is necessary to have appropriate measures to improve the quality of quality assurance work in high schools, thereby contributing to meeting the goals of high schools, ensuring the requirements of educational goals of the Education Law, in line with the socio-economic development of the locality and the whole country. However, in order to determine appropriate measures to improve the effectiveness of quality assurance management in high schools in Lao Cai province, it is necessary to correctly assess the current status of this work in recent years, point out what has been done and what has not been done, analyze the causes of limitations and shortcomings of the current situation.
1.2. In practice
The survey results of the current status of management of educational quality assurance activities in high schools in Lao Cai province in recent years show that this work has had positive changes and achieved certain achievements. Educational quality assurance work has promoted its role as a sharp tool for school managers in improving management effectiveness, while promoting the progress of individuals and organizations in schools. Through educational quality assurance, professional development work is regularly assessed, evaluated and adjusted in a timely manner. Essential conditions for teaching and learning are quite fully met. The implementation of the State's guidelines, policies and laws in education is also ensured to be implemented in accordance with regulations. The outstanding achievements of the Lao Cai Department of Education and Training and Lao Cai high schools in recent years are partly due to the good management of educational quality assurance work of schools in general and high schools in particular. However, besides the achievements, the work of quality assurance in high schools in Lao Cai province still reveals certain shortcomings. That is the work of building plans.
