The application form for not taking the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year is pre-printed, leaving the name section blank for students and parents to fill in.

Forcing students not to take the 10th grade entrance exam?

The content of the application, in addition to the information of the parents, students and contact phone number, also clearly states: "Based on the results of the last school year and the child's poor cognitive ability, the family finds that it is difficult for the child to attend a public high school program.

The family now submits this application to the school board to allow the child (student's name) not to participate in the 10th grade entrance exam of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, session June 6, 2024.

According to the Hoc Mon District Department of Education and Training, through initial verification by the unit, the above petition originated from a 9th grade class at Nguyen Van Bua Secondary School. The teacher printed out this petition for the students to fill out.

Currently, the Department of Education and Training of Hoc Mon district has requested the school to make a report and at the same time directed the school to invite parents to the school to discuss again.

Parents and students are upset

The content of the petition is currently circulating on social media. Many parents and students are outraged. They believe that the school did not allow students to take the 10th grade entrance exam because of their achievements.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education and Training of Hoc Mon district said this was an unintended incident, not the Department's policy.
