Eliminate entrance exams for grade 6 from 2025

According to the new regulations, from 2025 there will no longer be an entrance exam for grade 6. Instead, secondary school admission will be conducted by selection.

On January 8, the Ministry of Education and Training announced Circular No. 30/TT-BGDDT promulgating the Regulations on Secondary School and High School Admissions, applicable from 2025.

In particular, at the secondary school level, the new circular provides more specific regulations on secondary school admission methods on the basis of ensuring compliance with the Law on Organization of Local Government, Decentralization of Management and the 2018 General Education Program to reduce pressure on students, parents and educational institutions.

Teachers of Nguyen Gia Thieu Secondary School welcome and guide candidates before taking the 6th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year.

Accordingly, secondary school admission is conducted by the selection method. The selection criteria are specifically guided by the Department of Education and Training, ensuring that the selection process is fair, objective, transparent, and appropriate to the actual situation in the locality.

For secondary schools and general schools with many levels of education, including secondary schools belonging to universities, colleges, and research institutes, the admission criteria are directly managed by the university, college, or research institute or are implemented according to the instructions of the Department of Education and Training where the school is located.

Thus, according to the new regulations, from 2025 there will no longer be an entrance exam for grade 6.

Regulations in the new circular also reduce administrative procedures in enrollment registration; in line with the policy of digital transformation in education and training.

Secondary school admission registration is organized online.

In case you are not eligible to register online, you can do it in person or by post.
