On July 15, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training (GDĐT) sent a document to the City Police requesting coordination and strict handling of social media groups posting false information, inciting parents to gather crowds causing insecurity and disorder related to the enrollment work at the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year.

The Department said that the initial enrollment work for the 2026-2027 school year is being implemented in wards, communes, and special zones (commune level) according to the plan of the City People's Committee. However, recently, on many pages and social networking groups on Facebook under the name of the parents' association and the parents' community of Ho Chi Minh City, inaccurate and unverified information about the initial enrollment work for the 2026-2027 school year is appearing and spreading, especially the content related to the application process and school zoning policies.
