At Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training (GDĐT) said that the entrance exam to grade 6 in the 2026-2027 school year will be the first year implemented after the merger, so the structure of the survey questions will be kept stable as in the previous year.
