According to the plan of the Department of Education and Training (DET) of Ho Chi Minh City, after July 22, the Department will develop a supplementary admission plan based on the actual situation of students submitting applications to high schools.
If there is additional admission, those who were not admitted before will have the opportunity to study at public high schools. Le Minh Thu (Binh Dong ward) said that she had lost all 3 wishes in the recent enrollment round. Currently, he has submitted an application to study at a private school.
"If there is additional admission, I will submit my application. When admitted, I will apply to withdraw my application from a private school to get admitted," Minh Thu shared.
Ms. Tran Thi Hong, Minh Thu's parent, expressed her hope that there will be an additional recruitment round like last year. "The family's economic conditions are not too good, so if there is an opportunity, the family hopes that their children will study at public schools to reduce the financial burden," Ms. Hong confided.
The 2025 10th grade entrance exam in Ho Chi Minh City took place on June 6-7 with more than 76,000 candidates taking the exam. The total enrollment target of public high schools is more than 70,000 students.
In 2024, Ho Chi Minh City will have 36 high schools recruiting more than 2,200 additional quotas. Some schools lack many targets such as Phong Phu High School (300), Nguyen Van Linh High School (191), An Nhon Tay High School (140), Nguyen Van Tang High School (134), Trung Lap High School (123), Vinh Loc B High School (115), Long Truong High School (102)...
At the end of the application period, high schools that were lacking targets had recruited 1,400/2,203 candidates, reaching a rate of 63.54%. Correspondingly, there is a shortage of more than 800 targets.
Some schools have enrolled with sufficient quotas such as Le Thi Hong Gam High School; Dao Son Tay High School; An Nhon Tay High School has enrolled 107/140 additional quotas;...
In particular, the group of top schools was almost left empty-handed in the additional admission round.
