In the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year, the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee allows 100% of public high schools in the area to enroll students by entrance exam. This method is expected to overcome the shortcomings in enrollment of previous methods.

Specifically, for the 2024-2025 admission period, Dak Lak only agreed to allow 12 high schools to organize entrance exams. The remaining public high schools will organize admission based on academic records. As for those who take the entrance exam, they have an additional second wish of applying to another public high school in the same area, which will be recruited based on academic records.

As a result, nearly 2,000 students received failing grades (less than 1 point). Not to mention, the benchmark scores of many public high schools are very low. Some schools have benchmark scores of only 5-6 points for 3 subjects (Math, Literature, Foreign Language). Thus, on average, each subject only needs more than 1 point (not failing, that is 1 point) to pass the public high school entrance exam.

Because of many failing scores and not meeting the enrollment target, the education sector had to lower the admission score to "save" students.

In Dak Nong, the Provincial People's Committee has decided to select 11 high schools (out of a total of 32 schools) to pilot the 10th grade entrance exam starting from the 2025-2026 school year. Meanwhile, in previous school years, this locality conducted admission exams. The Department of Education and Training of this province also selected English as the third subject in the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year.
