According to the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, this year's enrollment quota will be based on the facilities, teaching staff... of public high schools, not based on the orientation of transferring students after junior high school as in previous years.
The Department expects that at least about 70% of junior high school graduates will continue studying in public high schools, 65% higher than last year.
At this time, public high schools have reported the expected 10th grade quota for the 2025-2026 school year to the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City. According to annual practice, in about 1 month the Department will announce the enrollment quota for each public high school.
According to a reporter's survey, it is forecasted that the enrollment quota for grade 10 this year will fluctuate strongly, in which many schools have reduced their quotas compared to last year.
For example, Thanh Da High School plans to enroll 495 students, reducing 315 quotas, equivalent to 7 classes (each class has 45 students); Phuoc Long High School enrolls 540, reducing 225 quotas; Tay Thanh High School enrolls 900, reducing 225 quotas; Tran Quang Khai High School enrolls 765, reducing 180 quotas; Tan Binh High School enrolls 675, reducing 130 quotas.
Ten Lo Man High School recruited 540 students, reducing 90 quotas; Phong Phu High School recruited 675, reducing 90 quotas; Nguyen Thai Binh High School recruited 720, reduced 45 quotas; Nguyen Huu Tho High School recruited 765, reduced 45 quotas; Nguyen Huu Cau High School 630, reduced 35 quotas;...
In addition, some schools plan to increase targets such as Vinh Loc B High School enrolling 765, increasing 135 targets; Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School enrolling 285, increasing 80 targets;...
Principals of schools said that the 10th grade quota depends on the number of 12th grade students graduating. 12th grade students will receive as much as they graduate.
In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City will have about 90,000 candidates graduating from junior high school. This year's 10th grade exam will take place on June 6-7, 2025. Candidates take the exam with 3 subjects, including: Math, Literature (120 minutes/subject) and Foreign Language (90 minutes).
Candidates who register to take the exam to enter specialized high schools in the city must take the fourth subject (specialized subject) with a time of 150 minutes/subject. Each major has its own exam subject according to the junior high school subject program, the exam content ensures the selection of students with talent in that major.
