On June 3, Mr. Tran The Cuong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training (DET) said that in the 2025 - 2026 school year, it is expected that 3 more public high schools in Hanoi will be put into operation and assigned a quota for 10th grade admission to each school of about 10 classes, with 1,500 - 1,700 students.
The 3 schools expected to be established are located in densely populated areas, including: Do Muoi High School (Hoang Mai District), Phuc Thinh High School (Dong Anh District) and a high school in Cau Giay District.
The construction of additional schools will increase the rate of students who wish to study at public high schools, meeting the expectations of the people of the capital.
Regarding this information, many candidates are wondering that, currently, candidates have completed their application for grade 10 public high school in the 2025-2026 school year. So, when the 3 high schools mentioned above come into operation, how will students be admitted to grade 10?
Mr. Tran The Cuong said that the school construction project is currently in the completion stage to urgently put into use.
When schools officially operate, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training will calculate a suitable enrollment plan, both facilitating students and their families, ensuring the quality of enrollment sources and ensuring fairness.
In the 2025-2026 school year, Hanoi has nearly 103,000 candidates registered to take the 10th grade entrance exam of non-professional public high schools.
Previously, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training assigned 79,740 10th grade enrollment quotas to public high schools, most public schools have increased 10th grade quotas compared to the 2024-2025 school year.
Typically: Ly Thuong Kiet High School (Long Bien District) increased the most when assigned with 180 more students; Viet Duc High School (Hoan Kiem District), Thuong Tin (Thuong Tin District), Da Phuc (Soc Son District) increased 135 students/school...
This means that the rate of Hanoi students entering public grade 10 in 2025 will increase by about 3% compared to the 2024-2025 school year, reaching 64% compared to the number of junior high school graduates.
The addition of 3 more public high schools is expected to go into operation from the school year 2025-2026, showing the investment interest of the city and the education sector in the construction of additional schools, classes and learning conditions with the goal of reducing exam pressure in grade 10.
