This year, Ho Chi Minh City has 37 high schools in Area 1 recruiting additional quotas for grade 10.
Of which, Trung Lap High School recruited the most additional students, 262 students; Next was Phong Phu High School recruiting 207 students; Nguyen Van Tang High School recruited 181 students, Da Phuoc High School recruited 169 students, Ngo Gia Tu High School recruited 150 students. The remaining schools recruited from 15-100 quotas.
Notably, among the 37 additional schools, there are also some schools with high admission scores, such as: Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School admitted 68 more students, Nguyen Thuong Hien High School admitted 80 more students, Phu Nhuan High School admitted 20 more students...
To participate in additional admission, students must meet the following conditions: have passed the entrance exam for grade 10 in the 2025-2026 school year in Area 1 of Ho Chi Minh City and have not passed any entrance exam for public high schools, with a total entrance exam score of 3 subjects: Math, Literature, Foreign Language and priority and encouragement scores (if any) greater than or equal to the 1 standard wish point of the public high school that wishes to register for admission.
Students who need additional admission will submit their application directly to a high school that is lacking quotas (not allowed to change schools when they have submitted their application).
The documents include a report on the results of the 10th entrance exam issued by the secondary school where the student registered for the exam.
In case the number of successful candidates exceeds the remaining quota (due to many candidates having the same score), the school's admission council will adjust the number of successful candidates in the spirit of the number of successful candidates not exceeding the assigned quota.
The Department of Education and Training (DET) noted that schools do not accept students exceeding the enrollment quota.
Cases exceeding the admission quota will not be resolved; candidates will not be accepted for additional admission after 4:00 p.m. on August 11. Candidates participating in the admission must have their names on the exam management system of the Department of Education and Training.
The Admissions Council must be responsible for additional admission conditions and ensure valid documents.
On August 8, schools will announce the list of candidates who are eligible for additional admission, and at the same time organize the reception of candidates.
This is the third consecutive year that Ho Chi Minh City has organized additional admissions for grade 10. 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 are enrolling students who meet the quota such as Le Thi Hong Gam High School, Dao Son Tay High School...
In particular, the group of top schools was almost left empty-handed in the additional admission round.
