On August 1, speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Lam Trieu Nghi - Principal of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School said that the school had not yet received documents for the additional admission round. The school still lacks 80 quotas.
"There are 5 parents who came to learn, but they are not qualified to register for admission to the school," said Mr. Nghi.
Similarly, Phu Nhuan High School still lacks 20 quotas, but after 3 days of receiving additional admission documents, the school is still "empty-handed". This is also happening at Nguyen Hue High School.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa Hue - Principal of An Nhon Tay High School said that the school has just received additional registration documents from 6 students, while the school is still lacking 100 targets.
Phong Phu High School needs to recruit 207 additional students but has only received 8 applications.
On the contrary, in some other schools, the number of students submitting applications is quite large, some schools have received enough applications.
Nguyen Thi Dinh Sports and Physical Training High School received 32/45 applications on the first day of application. Dien Hong High School has received 76 applications while the school is only short of 72 targets.
Go Vap High School has also received 19/25 applications; Nguyen Van Linh High School has received 20/45 outstanding targets...
According to the plan, 37 high schools with missing quotas will continue to receive applications until 5:00 p.m. on August 4. The results will be announced on August 8.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that this is the third consecutive year that Ho Chi Minh City has organized additional admissions for grade 10, creating conditions for students with good learning abilities but not suitable choice of wishes and increasing opportunities for candidates who miss all three wishes.
"This shows the flexibility and high adaptability of education policies, suitable to the characteristics of each locality, especially in suburban areas. The core goal is to ensure that all students have the opportunity to access public general education," informed a representative of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City.
Conditions for registering for additional admission:
Students who have taken 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 and must have a total entrance exam score of 3 subjects: Math, Literature, Foreign Language and priority and admission scores (if any) greater than or equal to the 1st wish standard score 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.
