Regulations on 2 admission subjects

Ho Chi Minh City regulates admission for grades 1 and 6 into 2 groups:

Subject 1 : Priority admission for the following cases:

• For grade 1: Students have "current residence" within the area and are within the prescribed age;
• For grade 6: Students have a "current residence" 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.

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

• Students who 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 whose "current residence" according to VNeID is in the border areas between districts, towns and Thu Duc city;
• Students transfer provinces;
• Students with special local circumstances.

Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that this priority goal is to facilitate parents in picking up and dropping off their children and supplement the source of students for localities with low numbers of children of enrollment age due to regional characteristics. Priority regulations must be clearly stated and detailed in each locality's enrollment plan, ensuring transparency and publicity. Cases that are not in the priority category will be considered last, based on the remaining quotas of the schools and the decision of the local primary enrollment steering committee.
