3 important factors for admission

Accordingly, the enrollment work for the 2025-2026 school year will be carried out as follows:

The Department of Education and Training advises the People's Committee of Thu Duc City and districts to build flexible enrollment areas based on three factors: local school distribution, the number of children of enrollment age, and information on students' "current residence" from the industry database.

At the same time, combine the use of the city's shared digital map system to calculate the travel distance of students, not allocating students according to ward administrative boundaries, to create conditions for students to study near their current residence and in accordance with the actual local situation.

For schools located on the border between localities, the primary school admission steering committee needs to develop a suitable admission plan, creating favorable conditions for students to study near their current place of residence.

Registration for primary school admission is done online at https://tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn (collectively referred to as the City's admissions page), through the student's identification code and in compliance with the instructions of the Department of Education and Training.

Information used in enrollment is guaranteed to be 100% extracted from the city's education database system. For units that need to connect data in other forms, it is necessary to ensure full compliance with the requirements on confidentiality and information security for both data transmission and reception.

2 groups of first-level admissions

Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee said that this year, the enrollment work for the first level will divide students into 2 groups, including:

+ Subject 1: Priority admission for the following cases:

* For grade 1: Students have "current residence" in the area and are within the prescribed age;

* For grade 6: Students whose "current residence" is in the area, have completed primary school and are within the prescribed age.

+ Subject 2: Students who wish to study in an area other than their actual residence.

* For subject 2, the primary enrollment steering committee of Thu Duc city and districts need to issue documents clearly defining the subjects that are given priority for admission, creating a legal basis for classification.

In which, priority can be considered for admission according to the order of specific cases of each region such as:

Students have completed preschool or primary school in the area.

Students whose father or mother works in the area (industrial parks, agencies, organizations located in the area).

Students have "current residence" according to VNeID in the border areas between districts, towns and Thu Duc city.

Students transfer provinces.

Students with special local circumstances.

This priority goal is to facilitate parents in picking up and dropping off their children, and to supplement the source of students for localities with low numbers of children of school age due to regional characteristics.

Priority regulations must be clearly stated and detailed in each locality's enrollment plan, ensuring transparency and publicity.

Non-priority cases will be considered last, based on the remaining quota of the schools and the decision of the local primary school admission steering committee.
