In particular, transparency in admissions is further enhanced.
Parents in Ho Chi Minh City do not need to go to school this year, they can stay at home and still register their children for school thanks to the city applying online enrollment for primary school students.
Sit at home, register and wait for the results
With a daughter born in 2017, Ms. Hoang Thi Hoai, residing on Street 107, Ward 9, District 8, Ho Chi Minh City, has completed the steps of testing the electronic portal for primary school admission, reviewing information, registering official information and is waiting for the results of the first grade admission. Her daughter is studying in the nursery class at Sao Mai Kindergarten (Ward 5, District 8), Ms. Hoai has been given very specific instructions by the kindergarten teachers on the steps to register online for first grade admission, without using paper documents.
"The school year at kindergarten has ended, but through Zalo messages, my child's teacher still regularly updates the latest announcements from the Department of Education and Training of District 8 about the next steps that parents need to take, the first grade enrollment timelines, so I just do it slowly, occasionally accessing the system https://tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn/ to check, instead of running around to ask anywhere," said Ms. Hoai.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, in previous years, although online enrollment was implemented, parents still had to go to school to register and declare data. Parents still had to enter their children's data into the enrollment software of the school, district, and county when registering for enrollment.
This year, based on the information parents declare on the city's general primary school admission system (tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn), educational institutions, the Thu Duc City Department of Education and the districts are the permanent advisory bodies for the local admission steering committee, using the industry database to arrange places for students, not parents registering places. The only direct action that parents need to take is to go to school to submit their children's admission application.
Teachers at Nguyen Trung Ngan Primary School (District 8, Ho Chi Minh City) advise parents on how to complete admission documents. This is the only direct step that parents need to take in the admission process this year in Ho Chi Minh City.
No more jostling to submit applications
Not only is the application process simple, with the current online admission method, parents can also comfortably submit their children's official application to the school.
On the website of Nguyen Trung Ngan Primary School, District 8 - an advanced, internationally integrated school - the list of students admitted to grade 1 at the school has been made public. To avoid the situation where parents come to submit their admission applications at the same time, causing too much crowding and having to wait for a long time, the school has divided the time slots, announced specifically which time and which day each parent should come, and asked parents to come on time. Thanks to that, in recent days, parents have been lining up one by one to submit their children's applications very comfortably. Yesterday, July 6, Thanh Nien reporters were present at Nguyen Trung Ngan Primary School and noted that only a few parents had come to complete their children's documents.
The school year at kindergarten has ended, but through Zalo messages, my child's teacher still regularly updates the latest announcements from the Department of Education and Training of District 8 about the next steps that parents need to take, the first grade enrollment timelines, so I just do it slowly, occasionally accessing the system https://tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn/ to check, instead of running around to ask anywhere.

Mr. Duong Van Dan, Head of the Department of Education and Training of District 8, said that online primary school enrollment in the district is still taking place. The Department of Education and Training has published documents guiding primary school enrollment in stages. From June 24 to July 15, the results of the selection will be considered and announced, and parents will receive admission applications at schools implementing high-quality programs, advanced schools, and international integration. From July 16 to August 1, the results of the first phase will be considered and announced at the remaining schools in the district.
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Doan Trang, Principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School (District 1), said that for grade 6, from July 17 to 20, parents will come to school to confirm their students' admission. This is the only direct procedure that parents carry out during the entire admission process. Even the elementary school records and transcripts of each student are transferred and received by the district and school admissions committee after the list of admitted students is available.
The principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School also said that this year's online enrollment process has simplified procedures, saving time for parents as well as the school. "In previous years, parents had to find enrollment information, time to distribute and receive application documents, and go to school to submit their application documents. When the school announced the list of admitted students, they went to school to submit their application documents... This year, on the declaration data system, with the student's identification code, parents declared, looked up information and confirmed their enrollment online," Ms. Trang instructed.
Limit cross-district enrollment
According to the leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, when conducting online primary school enrollment, the district and Thu Duc City Departments of Education and Training will coordinate with wards and communes to review the list and determine the actual residence of students. From this list, the Department of Education and Training will be the agency to advise and allocate study places for students. "With this method of primary school enrollment, from the industry's database, this year will limit cross-district enrollment because the arrangement of students to study is based on the principle of studying near home," the Director of the Department of Education and Training emphasized.
Register for grade 10 admission on the app
If last year, Ho Chi Minh City conducted a partial online application submission for 10th grade admission, this year it was done completely online.
Not only operating on the online primary school admission system, the Department of Education and Training also deployed for parents of students to register their 10th grade wishes on the TS10 application available on the CH Play or App Store application store, suitable for the smartphone operating system that is widely used.
Mr. Duong Van Dan also acknowledged that, unlike previous years, this year parents no longer have to "run back and forth" to supplement documents and submit admission applications for their children... Instead, last May, parents only had to declare once to the neighborhood officials or local police to check data, and at the same time register for admission online and update information on the primary school admission system.
Support parents to adjust and supplement information
Mr. Nguyen Thai Vinh Nguyen, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City, said that in the second round of primary school admissions, the focus will be on handling cases where the records have not been updated and information needs to be supplemented or adjusted. When parents see that their children's records have incorrect information, they should immediately notify the kindergarten or ward so that the units can promptly report to the Department of Education and Training for adjustment, as long as the students reside in Thu Duc City; cases outside Thu Duc City will be considered and resolved later if there are enough places for them.
Parents just moved to Ho Chi Minh City to work, can their children go to first grade?
If parents from other provinces and cities come to Ho Chi Minh City to stay and register for temporary residence, will they have time to complete the online application so that their children can enter grade 1 in districts, towns, and Thu Duc City? In response to this question, Mr. Nguyen Thai Vinh Nguyen, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City, said: "Like last year, the department still handles cases, mainly workers in bordering provinces and cities."
Mr. Ngo Van Tuyen, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Binh Tan District, said that priority is currently given to applications that have submitted information and registered information before June 23 on the online system. If parents from other provinces come to Ho Chi Minh City now and register for temporary residence, they will have to wait for the next admission round (after August 1). If there are still places, more students will be arranged.
With a population of about 820,000 people and an area of about 52 km 2 , Binh Tan District of Ho Chi Minh City has a population as large as Ha Giang province. Ha Giang province is nearly 8,000 km 2 wide but has a population of only about 870,000 people.
According to the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the application of technology and digital transformation in primary school enrollment will help ensure the rights of the people and ensure that students can study close to home.
Mr. Ngo Van Tuyen, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Binh Tan District, said that on the electronic portal for primary school admissions, parents have registered full information of their children, the system has assigned children to schools. Currently in this district, parents are at the step of agreeing or disagreeing with the assignment results. Or if there is any incorrect information, needing to be supplemented or adjusted such as missing personal identification code, incorrect residence information, etc., parents will notify the ward so that the ward can update it to the Department of Education and Training, the Department will update it to the system.
Based on this reality, according to the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the application of technology and digital transformation in primary school enrollment will help ensure the rights of the people and ensure that students can study near their homes. In addition, it will help localities to be more convenient in primary school enrollment, especially localities that are always under pressure regarding student numbers.
