Excellent students at provincial and city levels get extra points in the entrance exam to public grade 10.

(Dan Tri) - From 2025, students who win provincial and city-level prizes in culture, arts, sports, and science and technology will receive bonus points when taking the 10th grade public school entrance exam.

The Circular promulgating the regulations on secondary and high school admissions of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) changes the policy of adding points for students taking the entrance exam to public grade 10.

Accordingly, in addition to priority policy subjects, the Ministry stipulates an incentive bonus of 0.5 to 1.5 points for excellent students who win provincial-level prizes organized by the Department of Education and Training or in coordination with departments and branches organized on a provincial scale for competitions organized at the national level.

Specifically, first prize winners will receive 1.5 points, second prize winners will receive 1 point, and third prize winners will receive 0.5 points.

The incentive points are added to the total admission score calculated on a 10-point scale for each subject and exam.

In previous years, the Ministry did not allow additional points for students who won provincial or municipal prizes.

The new circular takes effect from February 14.
