New points in primary school admission in Ho Chi Minh City

Priority is still given to allocating students according to their "current residence", creating conditions for students to study near home, but in this year's admission season, the improved admission process shortens the admission time for one round. Reasonable division of priority subjects creates fair opportunities for students.

In addition to the subjects according to regulations, this year the Department of Education and Training also prioritizes admission in order of 5 specific cases of each area such as: having completed preschool or primary school in the area, having a father or mother working in the area (industrial parks, agencies, organizations located in the area), having a "current residence" according to VNeID in the border areas between districts, counties and Thu Duc City...

Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that this priority goal is to facilitate parents in picking up and dropping off their children and supplement the source of students for localities with low numbers of children of enrollment age due to regional characteristics. With this goal, when developing enrollment plans, localities must ensure transparency and publicity. Cases that are not in the priority category will be considered last, based on the remaining quotas of the schools and the decision of the primary enrollment steering committee.

In the 2025-2026 school year, in addition to Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City will have Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted recruiting students nationwide to study in specialized 10th grade. Explaining this new point, Mr. Minh said that it comes from the fact that the modern facilities of the two specialized schools can meet the needs of large-scale specialized training programs. At the same time, this is also one of the contents in the policy of attracting, nurturing talents and training high-quality human resources for Ho Chi Minh City as well as the whole country.

In addition, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee directed to continue maintaining and expanding enrollment for integrated English and Vietnamese programs (Project 5695) and other approved programs. At the same time, schools are encouraged to promote the development of English and second foreign language enhancement classes.
