On June 27, speaking with Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Pham Dang Khoa, Director of the Department of Education and Training (GD&DT) of Dak Lak confirmed that the unit received a proposal from the leaders of some high schools organizing admissions to grade 10, asking for a reduction in failing scores to meet the assigned enrollment quota.
Mr. Khoa said that the enrollment plan for public grade 10 in the 2024-2025 school year in Dak Lak is applied according to the current high school graduation exam regulations, in which the failing score is 1 point or less. Therefore, the request of some schools to reduce the failing score to 0 points is impossible and cannot be resolved.

"Schools that organize entrance exams for grade 10 but do not meet their quota will not be allowed to recruit more students. The Department will allow schools in the district to recruit additional students so that the total quota of the districts remains unchanged," Mr. Khoa said.
The Director of the Department of Education and Training added that the Department has advised the Provincial People's Committee to allow the recruitment of 45 students per class according to Circular 20 of the Ministry of Education and Training. If the province agrees, it will increase about 1,000 students to grade 10 without increasing the number of classes or increasing staffing quotas.
Regarding the possibility of schools that do not meet their recruitment quota having excess teachers when they do not teach enough periods, the leader of the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training affirmed that they will direct these teachers to teach in inter-schools to ensure enough periods. Inter-school teaching at primary levels has been and is being applied.
Responding to the question regarding the fact that many provinces and cities apply a failing score of 0 points in the entrance exam to grade 10, while Dak Lak applies a failing score of 1 or lower, Mr. Khoa said that for many years now, in Dak Lak, the organization of admission to grade 10 at specialized high schools and specialized schools has applied the failing score according to the high school graduation exam regulations, so this failing score is still applied.
As Dan Tri reported, after many years of enrolling students in public grade 10 through examination, in 2024, Dak Lak province organized entrance exams for 9 public high schools and 3 specialized high schools.
However, the benchmark scores of the schools are very low, only 5-6 points, meaning that only three subjects (math, literature, foreign language) with each subject above 1 point are needed to get into a public school. It is worth mentioning that despite the extremely low benchmark scores, the public schools that organize entrance exams still lack nearly 700 quotas compared to the initial quota.
Krong Ana High School only recruited 292 students out of 484 targets; Phan Boi Chau High School recruited 261 students out of 440 targets; Nguyen Binh Khiem High School recruited 362 students out of 480 targets...
The reason why schools cannot recruit enough students is because the whole Dak Lak province has 1,900 students with failing scores (1 point or less), of which 1,799 students with failing scores in math alone.
