High benchmark, pedagogical major attracts candidates in 2025
In 2025, the attraction of the pedagogical industry will increase sharply when the number of candidates applying to pedagogical universities increases. Hanoi National University of Education has nearly 17,500 candidates registered to take the exam, an increase of nearly 6,000 compared to 2024, expanding exam scores in many localities. Ho Chi Minh City University of Education also recorded more than 19,000 candidates in three rounds, double last year. Hanoi National University of Education 2 organizes its own exam for the first time.
Not only the number of candidates has increased, the quality of admission to the pedagogical major has also been improved, demonstrated through the benchmark score. Many schools have teacher training majors with over 28 points, such as Literature and History Pedagogy at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education (28.6 points). This situation shows that the pedagogical sector is becoming an attractive choice for students.
The State's preferential policies and the Law on Teachers, effective from January 1, 2026, are factors promoting this trend. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Son - Principal of Hanoi National University of Education hopes that the quality of admission this year will be better when the number of excellent students in the country submitting applications increases significantly. However, he also affirmed that the school still reserves about 60% of its quota for the method of considering high school graduation exam scores. See more...
Free lunch for students, parents hope for transparency in choosing suppliers
Parents in Hanoi expressed their high agreement with the policy of free lunch for primary school students from the 2025 - 2026 school year, helping to reduce financial burden and create conditions for peace of mind in work. According to the Resolution just approved by the Hanoi People's Council, the support level ranges from 20,000 - 30,000 VND/student/day. According to calculations, the total estimated cost is more than 3,000 billion VND, applied to about 768,000 students at public and private schools in the capital.
In addition to supporting the policy, many parents hope that the selection and supervision of a food supplier unit must be transparent and public. In reality, at some schools such as Le Van Tam Primary School, when the process of selecting a supplier is made public and there is consensus, parents feel more secure about the quality of the meals.
Huong Viet Sinh Company Limited is a unit that many schools are trusting thanks to building a closed food supply chain, meeting VIETGAP and OCOP standards. The company also cooperates with the Institute of Applied Medicine to build a scientific, seasonal menu, aiming to not only ensure safety but also improve nutrition for students. See more...
