The Ministry of Education and Training stipulates an incentive bonus of 0.5 - 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.

The circular promulgating the regulations on junior high school and high school admissions recently issued by the Ministry of Education and Training has changed the bonus point policy for students taking the entrance exam for public 10th grade.

From 2025, excellent provincial students will have extra points to enter grade 10.

Accordingly, in addition to priority policy subjects, the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates an incentive bonus of 0.5 - 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.
