Discussing the regulations on junior high school enrollment, the representative of the Ministry of Education and Training said: Previously, Circular No. 11/2014/TT-BGDDT stipulated that junior high school enrollment is conducted annually by examination. This regulation ensures that junior high school enrollment is carried out smoothly, effectively, and practically for the level of education that requires 100% of students to enroll according to the goal of universal education.
By 2018, in the face of the fact that there were a number of prestigious secondary schools with a large number of students enrolling, making the admission based on general criteria unable to meet the enrollment target, the Ministry of Education and Training issued Circular No. 05/2018/TT-BGDDT stipulating "Secondary school admission based on the admission method. In cases where an educational institution has more students enrolling in grade 6 than the enrollment target, the Department of Education and Training shall guide the implementation of the admission plan based on the admission method or combine admission with testing and assessing students' abilities".
At the time of issuing Circular No. 05/2018/TT-BGDDT, the Ministry of Education and Training also clearly stated that testing and assessing capacity is different from an exam, meaning that when conducting admission to a secondary school, if the number of students meeting the requirements of the general admission criteria still exceeds the school's assigned quota, the school can combine testing and assessing capacity to supplement the admission criteria applied to the number of students who have met the requirements of the general admission criteria, instead of organizing an entire exam with many subjects for 100% of students applying to the school.
However, through the implementation in recent years, some schools have implemented enrollment mainly based on organizing "testing and evaluating students' abilities" as an entrance exam for 100% of students applying to the school; the role of "admission" in the method combined with "testing and evaluating students' abilities" as prescribed in Circular No. 05/2018/TT-BGDDT has not been properly implemented.
The Ministry of Education and Training emphasized: The newly issued Circular No. 30/TT-BGDDT continues to stipulate that the method of secondary school admission is selection, along with regulations assigning the Departments of Education and Training to provide specific guidance on selection criteria, ensuring that the selection process is fair, objective, transparent, and appropriate to the practical situation of the locality.
Accordingly, the Departments of Education and Training must develop a set of admission criteria applicable to all schools; at the same time, have separate criteria guidelines for schools that, after implementing admission according to general criteria, still have more students meeting the requirements than the school's assigned quota.
The specific criteria are not only the requirements in the admission application but also need to directly assess students in many different forms such as: questions and answers, writing, presentations, practice, experiments, academic records, products, and student activities (these forms have been prescribed in the Circulars promulgating regulations on student assessment of the Ministry of Education and Training) or tests and assessments of student capacity (in the spirit of regulations in Circular No. 05/2018/TT-BGDDT) to ensure that admission is carried out fairly, publicly, transparently, and in accordance with practical conditions as prescribed in Circular 30.
"For admission to any secondary school, according to the principles of Circular No. 30/TT-BGDDT, universalization tasks must be carried out in the area. That is also the basis for the Departments of Education and Training to develop admission criteria to ensure accurate, fair, public and transparent admission requirements," the Ministry of Education and Training noted.
