Accordingly, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training announced that from 3:00 p.m. on May 2, parents and students can access the 10th grade admission system at ts10.hcm.edu.vn, register their 10th grade wishes online to participate in admission to public high schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

The registration period will end at 5:00 p.m. on May 10. Secondary schools will enter data for secondary school graduation, priority (if any) and support candidates in registering if any problems occur.

Each student will have a maximum of 8 grade 10 wishes, including 3 regular grade 10 wishes, 2 specialized grade 10 wishes, and 3 integrated grade 10 wishes.

After students complete their registration, it is expected that on May 14, the Department of Education and Training will announce the number of students who registered their initial wishes. If needed, students can change their wishes until 5:00 p.m. on May 19.

According to the 10th grade enrollment target for the 2025-2026 school year announced by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, 115 public high schools will enroll 70,070 students, reaching 79% of the expected number of students graduating from junior high school (an increase of 14% compared to the previous school year).

Assessing the overall enrollment target and the level of competition for public grade 10 this year, Ms. Nguyen Doan Trang, Principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School (District 1), said that with the fact that the total number of grade 9 students this year decreased by about 10,000 students compared to the previous school year, but the enrollment target increased by 14%, it shows that the pressure on competition for public school places this year is much lighter than in previous enrollment seasons. In addition, the opportunity to enter top high schools is wide open when 4 schools: Nguyen Thuong Hien, Gia Dinh, Nguyen Huu Huan, Mac Dinh Chi do not organize specialized classes and increase the quota for regular classes in large numbers.

Similarly, the principal of a secondary school in District 3 said that stopping enrollment in specialized classes and adding quotas for regular classes could reduce the level of competition for admission to top schools. In recent years, on average, the four high schools listed above have recruited a total of 22 specialized 10th grade classes each year. When they no longer recruit specialized 10th grade classes, the schools will increase the quota for regular 10th grade classes, so students will have more opportunities to get into top schools.
