It is expected that after the 2025 Grade 10 Entrance Exam, about 30% of students in Ho Chi Minh City will not be admitted to public high schools. This is considered a positive number, a decrease compared to the previous school year.
According to the forecast of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, in the 2025-2026 school year, about 30% of students in Ho Chi Minh City will not be admitted to public high schools. This figure is considered positive compared to the previous school year, when the number of students failing was about 35%.

Currently, the HCM City Department of Education and Training is coordinating with local high schools to review the ability to accept 10th grade students.
In particular, the Department will base on the physical conditions and teaching staff of public high schools to determine the quota. This is different from previous years, when the enrollment quota was based on the orientation of student streaming after junior high school.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said: "The percentage of students admitted to public 10th grade this year will increase to at least 70%, compared to 65% last year. However, the exact number will have to wait for the review of places in high schools."
This year's 10th grade exam in Ho Chi Minh City will take place on June 6-7, 2025. Candidates will take the exam in 3 subjects: Math, Literature (120 minutes/subject) and Foreign Language (90 minutes).
Candidates registering for the entrance exam to the city's specialized high schools must take the fourth subject (specialized subject) with a duration of 150 minutes/subject. Each specialized subject has its own exam according to the secondary school curriculum, the exam content ensures the selection of students with talent in that specialized subject.
From the 2025-2026 school year, Ho Chi Minh City will stop organizing specialized classes in 4 high schools including: Gia Dinh (Binh Thanh District), Mac Dinh Chi (District 6), Nguyen Thuong Hien (Tan Binh District) and Nguyen Huu Huan (Thu Duc City). Specialized classes will only be held at 2 schools: Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted and Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted.
Mr. Lam Trieu Nghi - Principal of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School, said that when the specialized 10th grade enrollment is no longer implemented, the school will propose to enroll 5 more regular classes (45 students/class, equivalent to 225 students).
The pressure of the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year may decrease due to the increase in the number of students admitted. However, for students who wish to study specialized subjects, this may be a more fierce "battle", because if they want to study specialized subjects, there are only two options: studying at Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted and Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted.
