The entrance exam to 10th grade of high school in the 2026-2027 school year in Phu Tho province will take place from June 1-3, 2026.
According to Phu Tho Provincial People's Committee, this year is the first year the locality has organized 10th grade enrollment after merging administrative boundaries, so the organization of the exam has many changes in scale, management methods and enrollment.
