According to the 2026 University Enrollment Regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, each candidate is allowed to register a maximum of 15 aspirations on the common system and must be arranged in order of priority from highest to lowest. However, the Pedagogical major group only considers aspirations ranked from 1 to 5. This regulation makes the registration of aspirations for the Pedagogical major group by candidates must be really careful, requiring serious selection and passion for the teaching profession.
Sharing with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Nguyen Hien Anh - a 12D6 student at Cau Giay High School (Hanoi) - said that she felt surprised but also had plans to limit her aspirations to register for the Pedagogy major.
The scope of aspirations for the Pedagogy major is only the first 5 aspirations, so I will dedicate all the aspirations to this major. Since I was little, I have wanted to become a literature teacher. Therefore, with the first aspiration, I will put it in the Literature Pedagogy major of Hanoi National University of Education according to my personal orientation. In the following aspirations, I will arrange for other pedagogical majors of the school so that I can get closer to my dream of teaching" - Hien Anh expressed.
The female student said that in addition to focusing on preparing for the exam in the current final sprint, Hien Anh also learns more methods such as reviewing transcripts or competency assessment exams to increase the chances of admission.
The competition rate for the Pedagogy major has gradually increased over the years, while the number of enrollments in each school is not large. This time will be very stressful for candidates like us, but we ourselves will still have to try our best to achieve the best results" - Hien Anh said.
Also choosing the Literature Pedagogy major, Nguyen Ngoc Lan Anh - a 12th grade student at Quang Trung High School (Hung Yen) - researched the annual benchmark scores of universities to consider the order of aspirations.
With the new point in the regulations, choosing and arranging the order of aspirations is extremely important, just a little subjectivity will affect the admission results. To have a reasonable aspiration registration strategy, I will arrange schools with Literature Pedagogy majors in order from highest to lowest to both increase the chances of admission and have the ability to pursue the major I want" - Lan Anh shared.
In addition to her aspirations for the Literature Pedagogy major at two Hanoi National University of Education and Hanoi National University of Education 2. Lan Anh said that she will add aspirations for this major at some other schools such as Hanoi National University of Education - Vietnam National University or Hanoi Capital University. After arranging enough aspirations for the Pedagogy major, Lan Anh registered aspirations for other training majors.
In addition to regulations on the order of aspirations, the input quality assurance threshold for pedagogy majors continues to be tightened. For pedagogy majors, candidates must have excellent grade 12 academic results and a total score of 3 high school graduation exam subjects according to the admission combination of 18 points or higher, or a graduation consideration score of 8.5 or higher.
For Tran Ha Linh - a 12ED student at Van Tao High School (Thuong Tin) - this period not only regularly monitors enrollment information but also focuses on studying in class and preparing for the high school graduation exam in parallel.
Studying at school or studying at home is still noticed by me to maintain my academic performance. In addition to the requirements for aspiration order, 12th grade transcript results and high school exam scores this year are also specifically regulated when registering for the Pedagogy major, so I have to focus even more so as not to be affected by admission consideration" - Linh said.
Ha Linh shared that her personal wish is to be admitted to Hanoi National University of Education, so she will dedicate all her enthusiasm and high concentration to have the opportunity to continue entering the university door.
