District People's Committee issues enrollment plan

Mr. Do Huu Quynh - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training said that the Department has requested the Department of Education and Training to advise the People's Committees at the district level to issue a plan for enrolling first graders in the district, town, and city, ensuring the mobilization of 100% of 6-year-old children into first grade. At the same time, issue a document directing the enrollment of first graders to primary schools and general schools with primary levels in the area. Based on the decision, plan for assigning quotas and directing the enrollment of first graders of the Department of Education and Training, the head of the primaryeducation institution is responsible for developing the enrollment plan. For public schools, the enrollment plan must be approved by the school board according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 8 of Decree No. 24, dated March 23, 2021 of the Government regulating the management of public preschools and general education institutions.

Enrollment zoning according to the direction of the new commune-level People's Committee

According to the leaders of the Department of Education and Training, the enrollment route for grade 1 in the 2025-2026 school year is based on the direction of the People's Committee at the commune level (established from July 1, 2025). However, currently, the district-level Departments of Education and Training are still implementing the enrollment steps as every year to keep up with the set schedule. Because they are in the process of implementing the steps to arrange administrative units and build a 2-level local government organization model of the province (ending the operation of the district-level administrative unit), the Department does not stipulate that the review of out-of-line applications is carried out by the district-level enrollment council as before, but stipulates that the school's enrollment council organizes a review meeting. This must be done publicly and transparently, as shown in the meeting minutes with full signatures of the members of the council. The verification of in-line and out-of-line cases will be determined by the new commune-level People's Committee (after the merger).

For children in the area assigned to the school for admission, the determination of residence is carried out according to the list of children entering grade 1 of the locality that the school is responsible for admitting, provided by the People's Committee of the commune, the commune-level police confirm the personal identification number and residence information of the child in the area. For children admitted outside the school's area, the school sends the list to the commune-level police where the child resides to confirm the personal identification number and residence information of the child.

In case the commune-level police agency confirms that the child is not eligible for permanent or temporary residence registration but lives in the area, the school can arrange for the child to study at a school in the area if the school is able to accept him/her. In case the school is not able to accept him/her, the school will make a list to transfer to the commune-level People's Committee (established from July 1, 2025) to arrange a place for the child to study.

Continue to enroll in French class 1

Regarding the enrollment of French 1st grade according to the 2018 General Education Program, the Department of Education and Training assigned the Department of Education and Training of Nha Trang City to guide the implementation of enrollment, concentrated at Xuong Huan Primary School; the condition is that there must be 20 students or more to open a French class. The enrollment time for French 1st grade is the same as the enrollment time for general 1st grade.

The Department of Education and Training requires schools to coordinate with localities to do a good job of propaganda in many forms, and to carry out the campaign "National Day of Taking Children to School". At the same time, coordinate with departments, branches, organizations, and localities to mobilize families to send their children to school, pay attention to children in difficult circumstances, children with disabilities, and have active and effective support measures so that children can go to school. Regarding the enrollment of students in grade 1 and the assignment of homeroom teachers, schools need to randomly collect records to create a list of students, ensuring gender balance in each class. This must be done publicly and demonstrated in minutes. Schools are not allowed to survey children's level before entering grade 1; do not organize selective classes according to parents' requests or students' reading and writing abilities. Schools need to spend at least the first week of school to guide students to get acquainted with grade 1.
