On October 23, Ms. Bui Thi Thanh, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province, spoke out about the fact that many high school students in Thanh Hoa who had just passed the entrance exam applied to transfer schools, and some students failed but passed after transferring schools, as reported by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper.

According to Ms. Thanh, to avoid students transferring schools en masse, the department requires schools to report before transferring students so that the department can understand, and the decision to go and come is up to the principals of the two schools. "In previous years, the department only allowed school transfers at the end of the first semester, but according to the new curriculum, the Ministry of Education and Training requires transfers at the beginning of the year or at the end of the school year to create good conditions for students, the department agrees to allow transfers at the beginning of the new school year. The department's initials are to avoid "random" school transfers, but the department does not force or determine that the school must accept this or that case. The decision is still between the two schools, and the department's leaders and I personally initialed to be objective, impartial, and without any negativity" - Ms. Thanh informed.
Regarding the cases of students transferring to new schools with low entrance scores, even students who failed the entrance exam but then returned to school, Ms. Thanh admitted that she did not fully understand this, because when the school submitted the report, the scores were not clearly stated. "We also see that this is not strict, the department will rectify the schools, learn from experience for the following years" - Ms. Thanh said.
Regarding the three cases of students who "failed to pass" when transferring to Ham Rong High School, Ms. Thanh explained that the students had already transferred schools and were currently studying, so she would not give any solutions. At the same time, she affirmed that she would strictly review the transfer of schools with low entrance scores to schools with higher scores. "In fact, the department only requires schools to consider these transfer cases as reasonable, but the department does not fully understand them" - the Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province explained.
Ms. Bui Thi Thanh also admitted that the school transfer regulations do not mention whether low or high scores are required to transfer, but only require students studying in the public system to be transferred, so sometimes there are still loopholes to "dodge" in transferring schools.

As reported by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, the 2024-2025 school year has just started, but in Thanh Hoa, there is a situation where students are requesting to transfer schools in many places. Most of the transfers are not legitimate according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, and some students even have lower entrance scores than the scores of the school they are transferring to, causing public outrage.
In Thanh Hoa province, in addition to Lam Son High School for the Gifted, schools located in Thanh Hoa city such as Dao Duy Tu High School, Ham Rong High School, Nguyen Trai High School are considered good quality schools. These are schools with good training quality, entrance exam scores are always very high, so students must have good or excellent academic performance to compete for admission to these schools.
However, just entering the new school year, the above schools have had dozens of students transferred back. Specifically, Ham Rong High School has 11 10th grade students transferred back, Nguyen Trai High School has 7 10th grade students, Dao Duy Tu High School has 7 students. Not to mention, grades 11 and 12 also have dozens of students accepted by these schools. The students who requested to return are usually from schools on the outskirts of Thanh Hoa City located in Quang Xuong, Dong Son, Hoang Hoa, Sam Son City... or right from the above schools.
Most of the students who have just been admitted to schools have registered for the entrance exam or the second choice for the 2024-2025 school year, but as soon as they enter school, they have applied to transfer to the above good quality schools. This makes many parents upset, saying that transferring schools creates "loopholes" for some parents to let their children take the exam in places with low entrance scores, then apply to transfer their children to schools with high entrance scores and good quality without having to compete in the entrance exam.

This is clearly shown through the cases of students such as: PTKM transferred from To Hien Thanh High School to Nguyen Trai High School with only an entrance score of 29.3, while this school's benchmark score is 31.7; NLNA was admitted to Dong Son 2 High School (Dong Son district) with 29.8 points; NTMA was admitted to Nguyen Mong Tuan High School (Dong Son district) with 31.6 points, both were transferred to Dao Duy Tu High School, while this school's benchmark score was 32.9; NHH was admitted to Nguyen Mong Tuan High School with 32 points, but was still transferred to Ham Rong High School, a school with a benchmark score of up to 35.8...
Notably, there were 3 students who failed the entrance exam to Ham Rong High School for the 2024-2025 school year (the entrance score to this school was 35.8), but currently all 3 students have returned to the school they failed the exam to study, after receiving the "flash" signature of the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province agreeing to transfer schools.
When working with reporters, most principals "kicked" the responsibility to the department, and some principals even explained that in many cases of school transfer requests, there was a "relationship" with superiors, and they had to be refused.
