On July 2nd, at the 2nd Session of the 11th Dak Lak Provincial People's Council, term 2026 - 2031, in the plenary session on issues of concern to voters, Ms. Le Thi Thanh Xuan - Director of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province informed about the 10th grade enrollment and some contents related to the education sector.
According to Ms. Xuan, the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2026 - 2027 school year in the province is organized in two methods. In which, entrance exams are applied at 5 schools, including 2 specialized high schools and 3 ethnic minority boarding high schools; the remaining public high schools implement admission consideration.
This year, the number of students registering for the entrance exam increased sharply, with over 40,000 candidates registering. The enrollment rate for 10th grade also increased compared to the requirements for classifying students after secondary school. Compared to the previous school year, the number of students registering for the entrance exam increased by more than 3,000.
Ms. Xuan said that in the process of organizing enrollment, the unit has closely followed the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training, and at the same time paid attention to the specific characteristics of the number of ethnic minority students and learning conditions in each locality.
Regarding the feedback from parents and students after announcing the admission benchmark scores, Ms. Xuan said that some students who were not admitted to nguyện vọng 1 faced difficulties in registering and submitting applications to the school according to nguyện vọng 2. Faced with this situation, the Department of Education and Training quickly reviewed and adjusted the enrollment plan.
After announcing the benchmark scores and the number of admitted students, the major will continue to adjust enrollment quotas and supplement quotas to create more opportunities for students," Ms. Xuan informed.
Accordingly, the province added about 584 quotas for students registering for nguyện vọng 1 and nguyện vọng 2. After July 3, the Department will continue to re-evaluate the number of students according to each nguyện vọng to have appropriate handling plans, ensuring the rights of students, and at the same time suitable for the facilities and teaching staff of each school.
Ms. Xuan also shared that the education sector will continue to arrange and regulate the teaching staff according to actual needs. Regarding the work of supplementing staff, the sector will prioritize remote and isolated areas where there is still a shortage of teachers to meet teaching and learning requirements in the coming time.
As Lao Dong newspaper has reported, the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province has just announced the benchmark scores for admission to 10th grade public high schools for the 2026-2027 school year for schools considering admission.
After having the results, many parents and students expressed concern about the selection between nguyện vọng. Many students failed nguyện vọng 1 but had enough points to enter the school registering for nguyện vọng 2 but were still not accepted because the school had recruited enough quotas in nguyện vọng 1.
Ms. N.T. N (resident of Tan Lap ward) said that her child achieved 46 points (of which grade 6 achieved 10 points + grade 7 achieved 9 points + grade 8 achieved 9 points + grade 9 (x2) achieved 18 points). She registered aspiration 1 for Buon Ma Thuot High School and aspiration 2 for Hong Duc High School.
Although they did not pass nguyện vọng 1 but had enough points to enter nguyện vọng 2, when they came to complete admission procedures, the school still refused to accept them because there were no more quotas.
