The overall high school graduation rate in the City reached 99.81%, an increase of 0.25% and 05 levels compared to 2023.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Hanoi is expected to have nearly 120,000 students taking the junior high school graduation exam and nearly 130,000 students taking the high school graduation exam. The number of students expected to participate in the 10th grade entrance exam and the high school graduation exam accounts for about 10% of the total number of students nationwide. This is also the first school year that students nationwide will take the 10th grade entrance exam and the high school graduation exam according to the 2018 General Education Program; it is also the school year that new Circulars related to exams, enrollment, extra teaching and learning will come into effect.

With the largest number of students in the country and the large scale of organizing entrance exams with many stages, complex and strict processes, requiring careful and thoughtful preparation. Therefore, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training proposed that the Ministry of Education and Training adjust the exam schedule for the 2025 High School Graduation Exam earlier than the announced draft.

Based on the schedule of the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training will advise the City People's Committee to adjust the Exam and Admission Plan for Grade 10 High School in the 2025-2026 school year to ensure suitability and effectiveness.

Similarly, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City has also recently issued a document providing comments on some contents of the Guidelines for organizing the 2025 High School Graduation Exam.

In the written comments, Director of the Department of Education and Training Nguyen Van Hieu proposed that the Ministry of Education and Training adjust the time of the Graduation Exam earlier, from June 7 to June 10, 2025. At the same time, promptly issue directives, organization plans and exam schedules so that the Departments of Education and Training can proactively advise the People's Committees of provinces and cities to promptly implement them locally.

"These adjustments aim to ensure the rights of students, stabilize the psychology of parents and students, and facilitate the preparation work of localities to organize the 2025 High School Graduation Exam safely, seriously, and in accordance with regulations," the document of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training stated.

The Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province also proposed that the Ministry of Education and Training adjust the high school graduation exam schedule this year to June 7 to June 10. The reason is that if the exam takes place at the end of June, it is likely that the provinces and cities will not have time to form the merger of the apparatus, all preparations for the exam will be rushed, confusing, and it will be difficult to ensure the organization is safe and serious. This locality also urgently proposed a plan to ask the Provincial People's Committee to adjust the public 10th grade entrance exam schedule earlier than expected from the end of May.

Ninh Binh Department of Education and Training also sent a petition to the Ministry of Education and Training proposing to postpone the graduation exam.
