Up to this point, nearly 40 provinces and cities have announced the third subject of the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year. Meanwhile, parents and students in Hanoi are still waiting for the city's Department of Education and Training to announce the exam plan.
Thai Nguyen, Thanh Hoa and Dak Nong have just announced the third subject in the public 10th grade entrance exam. These 3 localities all chose English.
This year, for the first time, Dak Nong organized the entrance exam for grade 10 after many years of conducting entrance exams for grade 10. However, the province only applied the pilot program to 11/32 public high schools in the province.
Previously, some localities announced the third subject of the 10th grade entrance exam such as: Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Nghe An, Lam Dong, Binh Duong, Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Lang Son...
Up to now, nearly 40 provinces and cities have announced the third subject of the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year. Most localities have chosen English.
The reason why provinces and cities choose English as a subject is to motivate and encourage students to increase their foreign language learning in the context of international integration and to make English the second language in schools.
Early announcement also helps schools proactively plan teaching and review from semester 2, creating a comfortable and favorable mindset for both students and parents.
Nationwide, Ha Giang is the only one that chooses History and Geography as the third exam subject for admission to grade 10, instead of English.
The Ha Giang Department of Education and Training believes that choosing History and Geography is appropriate and ensures fairness for students. English is not yet a strong subject for Ha Giang students. In addition to late access, the lack of English teachers in many educational institutions and uneven teaching and learning quality between regions are also obstacles.
Choose History and Geography as the third exam subject because these are important subjects. The teaching staff of these two subjects in Ha Giang ensures the quality, not too different between localities. From there, it helps students review and consolidate their knowledge well.
Meanwhile, in Hanoi, parents and students are still waiting for the city's Department of Education and Training to announce the exam plan. The fact that the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has not yet announced the third exam subject has made students and parents more anxious and worried.
Nguyen Gia Huy, a 9th grade student at Truong Cong Giai Secondary School (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) said that although he had prepared himself mentally, Huy was very worried because it was very difficult to get into 10th grade at a public school in Hanoi. He and many others expressed their hope that the Hanoi Department of Education and Training would soon announce the third exam subject this February.
While waiting for the city to announce the third exam subject, schools have stopped teaching extra classes and intensive learning in schools. This makes Ms. Kim Anh, a parent with a 9th grade student at Co Bi Secondary School (Gia Lam District, Hanoi) even more worried.
"I hope Hanoi will soon finalize the third exam subject so that children can focus on self-studying, self-reviewing, and best prepare for the upcoming exam," Ms. Kim Anh shared.
Information from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training in early February 2025 said that the Department is urgently researching and drafting a plan to enroll students in the first grades of the 2025-2026 school year, including enrollment in grade 10. Admission to grade 10 is conducted by the entrance exam method, including two subjects: Literature and Math; the third exam subject is expected to be announced in March 2025.
Previously, the 10th grade exam was initiated by the locality, including the number of subjects. However, 2025 is the first year that students following the 2018 General Education Program will graduate. The Ministry of Education and Training believes that there should be common regulations to unify nationwide.
According to Circular No. 30/2024/TT-BGDDT on regulations on secondary and high school enrollment issued by the Ministry of Education and Training on December 30, 2024, for grade 10 enrollment, localities can choose to conduct entrance exams, admission reviews, or a combination.
With the entrance exam method, students take two subjects including Math and Literature; the third subject is chosen by the Department of Education and Training from one of two options.
In which, option 1, the third exam subject is selected from among the subjects assessed by scores in the general education program at the secondary level, ensuring that the same third exam subject is not selected for more than 3 consecutive years. Option 2, the third exam is a combination exam of a number of subjects selected from among the subjects assessed by scores in the general education program at the secondary level.
The Ministry of Education and Training said that, up to now, many localities have announced the third exam subject for 10th grade admission in the 2025-2026 school year.
It is expected that in February 2025, all provinces and cities will announce the third exam subject according to the direction of the Prime Minister.
