The Pedagogy industry increases its attractiveness
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, in 2024, Pedagogy will be one of the four majors with the highest increase in the number of candidates registering for admission, up to 85% compared to last year (equivalent to about 200,000 applications).
Typically, at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, the number of candidates registering to enter the school this year increased by 100% compared to 2023 with 31,252 candidates.

Previously, the school's competency assessment exam also had a 2.5-fold increase in the number of candidates participating compared to the previous year.
Candidates flock to register, but the enrollment quota assigned by the Ministry of Education and Training to pedagogical schools is small. At the same time, schools spend most of their quotas on early admission methods, resulting in not many remaining quotas based on high school graduation exam scores, for example, some majors in History Pedagogy and Physics Pedagogy. , Chemistry Pedagogy... of Hanoi University of Education has the number of remaining targets "counted on the fingers". The race to enter pedagogical schools has become more fierce than ever.
According to forecasts of Pedagogy training schools, this year's benchmark score may increase by up to 2 points.
Decoding the reason
Winning the third prize for excellent national students in History, Nguyen Khanh Huyen - a 12th grade student at Nguyen Van Troi High School (Ha Tinh) - was admitted directly to a series of prestigious universities. Finally, I decided to study History Pedagogy at Hanoi University of Education.
Khanh Huyen shared that new media is the field she wants to study the most. I have learned about schools that train this field such as the Diplomatic Academy, the Academy of Journalism and Communication, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Hanoi National University)... for 3 years. via. However, the female student still chooses to major in Education for the next 4 years because of the cost of college and a stable job after graduation.
“I was born into a farming family, not well off. There are 3 sisters in the family, I am the eldest sister in the family. So I want to have a stable job soon so I can help my parents and guide my younger siblings," Huyen said, adding that she doesn't want her own college expenses to become a burden on her family. If you study pedagogy, not only do you not need to pay tuition, but you will also receive monthly living allowance from the state...
In addition, the appeal of History and the inspiration from teachers are the motivation for Khanh Huyen to be determined to study Pedagogy. "This decision of mine is also respected and supported by my family" - she happily said.
However, the female student still expressed concerns and worries about her choice, in which job opportunities after graduation were the things she mentioned the most.
“Many people advised me to study Literature, Mathematics, English Education... so that when I graduate, it will be easier to find a job than History Education. But I think that if you have the ability, effort and determination, opportunities will still come to you" - Khanh Huyen said.
Meanwhile, without worrying about tuition fees , Nguyen Thi Hong Thao - a 12th grade student at Nguyen Du High School for the Gifted (Dak Lak) - prioritized the suitability of the Pedagogy major for herself when registering. Desire 1 to go to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

Hong Thao believes that currently, job opportunities for pedagogical students after graduation are quite open because of the great needs of society. Diverse working environment, including an expanding system of public, private and private schools. This is also one of the reasons for me to study Pedagogy.
