The Hanoi Department of Education and Training requires high schools to strictly comply with the guidelines for 10th grade admission to ensure fairness, objectivity and convenience for students.
Faced with the reality that hundreds of parents lined up overnight to submit applications for their children to enter 10th grade at private schools and self-financed public schools, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training issued urgent instructions on the afternoon of July 5.
Accordingly, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training requires high schools to strictly comply with the guidelines for primary school admissions of management agencies, ensuring fairness, objectivity, and creating convenience for students.
During the enrollment process, high schools are responsible for assigning competent enrollment officers to be on duty (including Saturdays and Sundays), and publicly disclosing phone numbers and hotlines for enrollment consultation and support to promptly guide and resolve any problems of students and parents.
In addition, the school must coordinate with local authorities to ensure security and order, and absolutely not allow parents to gather outside the gate, causing disorder and insecurity.
Schools can develop combinations of elective subjects and study topics to meet the needs of learners while ensuring compliance with the conditions of teaching staff, facilities, and teaching equipment as prescribed.
The school develops a plan to organize specific and detailed consultation and guidance for students and parents when choosing subject combinations and study clusters to minimize the need to change subject combinations and study clusters within 3 school years.
In addition, the school proactively sent staff to check the computer system with internet connection ready to serve students who do not have electronic devices to confirm their admission online (if any).
Also according to the Department of Education and Training, the principal must create conditions for students to cancel their admission confirmation and return their application when the admitted student has submitted his application to the school, wants to change his admission wishes and withdraws his application according to regulations.
Public schools are not allowed to collect any contributions from students or parents, including selling application forms to students. For private schools, the Department of Education and Training requires strict implementation of enrollment according to the quota assigned by the Department of Education and Training and according to the school's announced plan.
The Department's document clearly states: "Strictly implement regulations, publicly announce tuition fees and other fees for the entire school year at the enrollment location."
Parents lined up overnight in front of the school gate to get a number to submit their application for grade 10, which was common on July 3-4 at three locations : Phan Huy Chu High School, Hoang Cau High School, and Ta Quang Buu Middle School - High School. This year, Ta Quang Buu High School will enroll students in three ways: direct admission, high school transcripts, and 10th grade exam scores from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training. With the third method, the school sets a standard score of 38.5. However, the school did not specify the admission quota. According to the announcement on July 2, the school will accept applications from 8:00 a.m. on July 5 and will stop accepting applications when the quota is reached. At 8:00 a.m. on July 5, Phan Huy Chu High School posted a notice that it had stopped enrolling 10th graders because it had met its enrollment quota. Outside, there were still more than 200 parents without numbers. Some even cried because they could not submit their applications. Phan Huy Chu High School - Dong Da is an autonomous public school, under the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, and is recruiting students according to its own project. This year, the school recruited 380 students, and before this round, there was a round of considering students based on their transcripts. For candidates who submitted their scores based on the Department's exam scores (Math, Literature, coefficient 2, plus English score), the school received 41/50 points. Hoang Cau High School has been operating under a self-financed public model since 2012. According to the school's announcement, the school will enroll 496 grade 10 students for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school did not provide a standard score requirement, nor did it announce the admission method. Parents do not know whether the school will take the scores from high to low or in order of early applications. |
