Mr. Tran The Cuong affirmed that the city does not lack schools when questioned about parents lining up from midnight to submit applications for their children to grade 10.
At the Hanoi People's Council question-and-answer session on the afternoon of July 5, Mr. Tran The Cuong received many questions related to the planning of the school network in the capital, leading to parents lining up to submit their applications early in the morning in recent days.
Answering the question, Mr. Cuong said he read the reflection in the press and affirmed that Hanoi does not lack places to study.
"Maybe some schools are reputable so parents trust them. Therefore, they line up from early morning hoping their children will get a place in the school," Mr. Cuong said, adding that this situation will be corrected.

First of all, next year, all schools in the city will enroll students online, reducing the burden on parents. In addition, the Department of Education and Training has discussed with the Department of Planning and Architecture, Natural Resources and Environment and districts a plan to reclaim suspended projects to get land to build public schools.
Mr. Cuong said the city currently has 2,845 schools in 30 districts, towns and cities, of which 79% are public schools. The number of schools will increase gradually each year.
"Every year, 30-35 new schools will be built, enough space for children to study in the current period," said Mr. Cuong, affirming that Hanoi leaders are determined to direct the construction of more schools to meet students' needs.
This year, the public 10th grade exam in Hanoi took place from June 10-12 with more than 104,000 students, but public schools could only accommodate about 72,000. According to statistics from the Department, more than 100 private schools in the area recruited 27,000 students (see list). In addition, the city has many continuing education and vocational education centers.

For the past two days, at Phan Huy Chu High School - Dong Da, Hoang Cau, Ta Quang Buu, hundreds of parents have lined up since midnight to submit their children's applications for 10th grade. The benchmark score for Hoang Cau High School has increased from 37 to 38/50 points in a few hours in the morning.
On the afternoon of July 5, the Department of Education and Training issued an urgent dispatch, requesting schools to strictly implement the enrollment process for grade 10. Schools must coordinate with the authorities to ensure security, absolutely not allowing students and parents to gather outside the gate; assign staff to be on duty even on Saturdays and Sundays to promptly guide and resolve problems of students and parents.
In addition, school principals create conditions for students to cancel their enrollment and return their records if they want to transfer to another school. Public schools are not allowed to collect any contributions, including selling records. Private schools enroll according to the announced quota.
