After the Lunar New Year, the 2025 Admissions and Career Counseling Program will restart the first three counseling sessions in Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa this weekend to answer the above-mentioned hot issues about university admissions that are of interest to most candidates and parents.

3 admissions consulting sessions in 2 provinces

From 7am on Saturday (February 22), the 2025 Admissions and Career Counseling Program jointly organized by Tuoi Tre Newspaper, Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), Phu Yen Department of Education and Training, Phu Yen Provincial Youth Union, and Central University of Construction will take place at Central University of Construction (No. 195 Ha Huy Tap, Binh Kien, Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province).

From 2:00 p.m. the same day, the program continued to students at Huynh Thuc Khang High School (362 Hung Vuong, Van Gia town, Van Ninh, Khanh Hoa).

Then, at 7am on Sunday (February 23), the program continued at Khanh Hoa University (No. 1 Nguyen Chanh, Loc Tho Ward, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa).

The consulting program in Khanh Hoa province was jointly organized by Tuoi Tre newspaper, Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), Khanh Hoa Department of Education and Training, Khanh Hoa Provincial Youth Union and two schools (Huynh Thuc Khang High School and Khanh Hoa University).

The advisory board of the 3 programs, representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training, along with leaders of many major universities in Ho Chi Minh City, and admissions experts from local universities and colleges participated in answering all questions about choosing majors and schools for candidates and parents.

Hot answers from the Ministry of Education and Training

In 2025, there will be many changes in the high school graduation exam and university admission to match the new general education program. While the Ministry of Education and Training has not yet officially announced the university admission regulations for 2025, most students and parents have many concerns and questions.

In the Tuoi Tre Newspaper's Admissions and Career Counseling Program, teachers from major universities will provide the most accurate information related to admissions and admissions at universities.

In particular, with the presence of representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training, they will directly answer "hot" questions related to the revised admission regulations such as eliminating early admission, adding priority points, admission subject combinations... At the same time, update the latest official changes to the regulations, thereby helping candidates have the best preparation for the upcoming university admission season.

Career experts will also provide information and detailed advice in the first consultation sessions about which majors are easy to find jobs in, have high salaries, etc., career orientation, and future human resource needs.

Each teacher in the advisory board - an expert in each field - will meet directly with students, helping them understand clearly about the career and school they are wondering about before this year's admissions.

In addition, the arrangement of consulting booths of universities, colleges and secondary schools in the program last year attracted great attention from students. This year, all consulting sessions have consulting booths of schools with a strong consulting force, meeting the needs of young people to learn about career information.

Candidates will have the opportunity to access information from universities, colleges, and secondary schools at the schools' consulting booths. This is also an opportunity for schools to introduce their training environment, providing candidates with necessary information about the school's enrollment...

7 new points in the admission regulations

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) - has just said that in the revised university admission regulations that will be issued soon, there are 7 important new points:

1. Eliminate early admission (only direct admission according to regulations).

2. If using high school academic results (transcripts) for admission, the results of the entire 12th grade year must be used.

3. Training institutions need to convert equivalent admission scores between admission methods and admission subject combinations.

4. Schools can convert foreign language certificate results (according to the list of high school graduation exam regulations) into foreign language scores for admission consideration.

5. The priority bonus points of each candidate shall not exceed 10% of the maximum score (this bonus point is after adding regional priority points and subject priority points), and at the same time the total consideration score of the candidate shall not exceed the maximum score.

6. Remove the requirement that each training program/industry has a maximum of 4 admission combinations.

7. From 2026: common subjects between admission groups account for at least 50% of the admission score.

* MSc. HOANG Thuy Nga (Department of Higher Education - Ministry of Education and Training):

Useful bridge

We highly appreciate the Tuoi Tre Newspaper's Admissions and Career Guidance Program because this is truly a practical and meaningful consulting program that helps to relieve all the worries of students before the exam season. The members of the consulting board are all experienced experts who wholeheartedly advise students to choose the major that suits their interests and abilities, without promoting any school.

The program has truly become a useful bridge for experts, career guidance teachers, and parents to exchange and advise students to choose a career that suits their strengths and choose a school that suits their abilities and conditions.

* MSc. PHUNG QUAN (University of Science - Ho Chi Minh City National University):

Clear all doubts

Perhaps many 12th grade students are asking themselves questions when deciding before this year's exam season: Who will I be in the future? Is university the only way to success? Which major and school should I choose? Which career has many job opportunities? Study according to parents' suggestions or pursue your own passions? How to study to have a job right after graduation?...

Coming to the program's counseling sessions, students and parents will have all their concerns resolved, and will be provided with the latest, most accurate and complete information about exams and admissions. In addition, students will also receive advice from counseling experts on career trends in society in the coming years.

* Dr. NGUYEN TRUNG NHAN (Head of Training Department, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry):

Help candidates achieve good exam results

Through the Admissions and Career Guidance Counseling Program organized annually by Tuoi Tre Newspaper, parents and students can directly meet experts at the counseling booths of schools to have a comprehensive overview of the training professions of each university, college and vocational training facility.

By "bringing" schools to candidates, it will help them choose a career that suits their aspirations, abilities and conditions. Thereby, helping students have a suitable study and review plan to achieve good results in the upcoming high school graduation exam and choose a suitable job for the future.
