According to the plan, public high schools will receive direct admission applications from successful candidates in all types including specialized, integrated and grade 10, usually from July 3 to July 10.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that if parents and students do not complete the admission procedures, candidates will be considered to be removed from the admission list.
It is expected that on July 11, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City will announce the results of the review. From July 12-14, the Department will conduct additional admission for successful cases after the final round.
From July 15 to before 5:00 p.m. on July 17, students who are admitted for additional admission will submit their applications at high schools.
On July 22, depending on the situation of successful students submitting applications to high schools, the Department will report the needs and number of additional admissions (if any).
Last school year, after the time to receive admission documents, public high schools recorded a shortage of more than 2,200 quotas in 36 high schools.
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.
Speaking to reporters at that time, Mr. Lam Trieu Nghi - Principal of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School - said that the school not receiving additional quotas was predicted by the wish standard score of 3 - the additional admission application receipt level was too high (26 points).
In 2024, Nguyen Thuong Hien High School has the highest benchmark score in the city.
In 2025, the 10th grade entrance exam will take 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.
The admission score is the total score: Literature score + Foreign language score + Math score + Priority and incentive score (if any).
