Specifically, the leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that the enrollment of preschool, grade 1, grade 6, grade 10, and high school graduation will be completed by Ho Chi Minh City in June 2025. In particular, the grade 10 entrance exam will take place on June 6-7, and the high school graduation exam on June 26-27. Compared to previous years, the enrollment completion time in 2025 is 2 months earlier.

The above adjustment of time is to ensure that the enrollment work at the primary level is on schedule and appropriate in the context that the whole country is implementing the arrangement and merger of provinces and cities, and completing the district-level tasks according to Conclusion 127-KL/TW dated February 28, 2025 of the Politburo and the Secretariat on implementing research and proposing to continue to arrange the organization of the political system.

Based on this general plan, the Department of Education and Training is also calculating a plan to organize a survey to assess students' abilities to enroll in grade 6 at Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School for the 2025-2026 school year in accordance with the actual situation.

Thus, it is expected that the Department of Education and Training will choose a date within the period after the end of the 10th grade entrance exam and before the high school graduation exam.

Every year, the 6th grade exam at Tran Dai Nghia School usually takes place on July 4th with about 4,000 students participating. This is considered a 6th grade exam with higher competition than some universities, the "competition" ratio usually fluctuates around 1/8.

Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training informed that in the 2025-2026 school year, admission to grade 6 at Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School and some local secondary schools can be conducted based on a combination of 2 criteria including training and learning results in primary school years and capacity assessment survey results. In which, local secondary schools must simultaneously meet 2 requirements: Having a number of candidates registering exceeding the enrollment quota in recent years and being proposed by the People's Committee of Thu Duc City, districts and counties. The remaining secondary schools conduct admission based on training and learning results at primary school level and use data from GIS maps to serve the allocation of students, in which the enrollment areas of the schools are decided by the People's Committee of Thu Duc City, districts and counties according to the actual situation in the locality.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Ho Chi Minh City will have 6 schools enrolling 6th grade students using a competency assessment test, including: Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School (District 1); Nguyen An Khuong Secondary School (Hoc Mon District); Hoa Lu Secondary School, Binh Tho Secondary School and Tran Quoc Toan 1 Secondary School (Thu Duc City); Nguyen Huu Tho Secondary School (District 7).
