Change admission criteria and methods?
2025 is the first year that 12th graders will take the high school graduation exam according to the 2018 General Education Program. Accordingly, in addition to the two compulsory subjects of math and literature, students will choose the remaining two subjects (from the subjects studied in 12th grade). Along with this change, there are also expected to be many new points in the admission method and admission combination in university admission.
At this time, in parallel with studying according to the school's plan, grade 12 students have begun to learn about university admissions in 2025. The question most asked by students is: next year, will the early admission method, including high school transcript admission, still be applied? What will the quotas be between the methods?
The reason why many students are wondering about this issue is because many university experts and leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training have acknowledged the limitations of the early admission method, especially the admission method based on academic records. The Ministry of Education and Training also said that the Ministry will consider comprehensively, possibly increasing some frameworks and sanctions to regulate enrollment in 2025; and soon have a draft guideline in the direction of simplification, ensuring quality and fairness for candidates.
While students are waiting for specific instructions from the Ministry of Education and Training, some schools have announced their expected admission methods for 2025. Accordingly, Nha Trang University will consider admission based on a combination of high school academic results and competency assessment results organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University and Hanoi National University.
Regarding the 2025 enrollment method, Hanoi National University of Education 2 said that next year the school will organize its own entrance exam; at the same time, it will use other methods, such as: direct and priority admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, considering academic records, considering the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam, considering the results of the competency assessment exam organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University and Hanoi National University, Hanoi National University of Education, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.
For the National Economics University, in 2025, the school will maintain 3 stable methods as last year, including: direct admission; combined admission and admission based on high school graduation exam results. In which, the quota for the admission method based on high school graduation exam results is only 15% (a decrease of 3% compared to 2024 and 10% compared to 2022). In addition, the school also announced that it will only apply 4 admission combinations including A00 (math, physics, chemistry), A01 (math, physics, English), D01 (math, literature, English), D07 (math, chemistry, English); not using the combinations that the school has maintained since 2024 or earlier.
A representative of Hanoi University of Science and Technology shared that the school will maintain the same three admission methods in 2025 as in 2024, but plans to reduce the admission quota based on high school graduation exam scores from 50% in 2024 to 40%; increase the quota for the remaining methods.
Need to announce enrollment plan for 2025 soon
Meanwhile, many universities are still waiting for specific information from the Ministry of Education and Training to develop a 2025 enrollment plan. According to Dr. Nguyen Quoc Anh - Vice Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, the school is waiting for information from the Ministry of Education and Training because there are opinions that the early enrollment method may be stopped.
Dr. Nguyen Trung Nhan - Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry said: Early admission brings many opportunities to be admitted to the highest wish for candidates. However, in the past few years, many schools have announced early admission results before the high school graduation exam; this makes many candidates no longer focus on this exam. This year, the Ministry of Education and Training may stipulate that admission results be announced after the high school graduation exam.
At the conference to review the enrollment work for the 2015-2023 period and deploy the enrollment work for the 2024-2025 period, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son said that the general principles in the enrollment work in the coming time will be basically maintained; at the same time, he requested that training institutions soon announce the enrollment plan for 2025 so that students can be proactive and have a thorough plan.
“I hope that universities will soon announce their official enrollment plans so that we can know more clearly about the methods, quotas, specific conditions and additional criteria (if any), so that we can proactively prepare to best meet the requirements of each school,” said Nguyen Mai Anh, a 12th grade student at Ha Dong High School.
Many students are also wondering whether, in addition to the National Economics University, many universities have adjusted their admission combinations compared to previous years. Commenting on this issue, Master Le Van Hien - Deputy Head of the Training Department (Ho Chi Minh City University of Law) said that students should not worry because any adjustments (if any) will not be outside the curriculum and exams.
"The admission combination depends on each school. For example, at Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, the admission method in 2025 is not much different from that in 2024. To make it more convenient for candidates, the school plans to offer more combinations according to the new program, depending on the students' choices" - Master Le Van Hien shared.
In the document guiding the implementation of tasks for the 2024-2025 school year for universities and pedagogical colleges, the Ministry of Education and Training requires educational institutions to urgently complete and promptly announce admission methods from 2025 onwards; thoroughly overcome the problem of unfairness in admission methods and criteria; ensure consistency with the 2018 General Education Program, and at the same time have a positive impact on teaching and learning activities in general education.
