Nam Dan 2 High School has just announced the admission scores and the second admission time for grade 10 for the 2025-2026 school year.
The standard score for the second round of admission is 2.5 points (including priority and incentive points, if any). The admission target is students with a total admission score of 2.5 points or higher, who have submitted their first application to the school but have not been admitted in the first round.
The fact that a local public school is considered a "land of learning" but the admission standard score is 2.5 points, meaning less than 1 point per subject, makes many people wonder.

Mr. Pham Xuan Phu, Principal of Nam Dan 2 High School, confirmed that the school's admission score for the second round was 2.5 points. Meanwhile, the school's admission score for the first round was 9.5 points.
The sharp decrease in benchmark scores, according to Mr. Phu, is "due to specific circumstances".
In the 2025-2026 school year, the Nghe An Departmentof Education and Training assigned the school an enrollment target of 450 students for 10 grade 10 classes. However, only 419 applications were received to take the school entrance exam, so the enrollment target was adjusted to 400.
In the 2025-2026 school year entrance exam of Nam Dan 2 High School, there was a student who scored 27.75 points.
After the 10th grade entrance exam, some candidates changed their wishes, resulting in 442 applications, so Nam Dan 2 High School continued to adjust the enrollment quota to 450.
“Because there is still a shortage compared to the enrollment quota, the school announced the second round of enrollment. According to the enrollment regulations, candidates who do not violate the exam regulations and do not have a failing score will have their scores taken from top to bottom, and any candidate who is accepted will be taken until the quota is met,” Mr. Phu informed.
With the second round of benchmark scores, 31 candidates are eligible for admission.
Nam Dan 2 High School is also the scene of a scandal involving a supervisor's statement during the first exam session, the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year. When a candidate asked for more exam papers, male supervisor TVD said: "Why study so much, you'll just have to work for hire, a worker." Teacher D. later explained that he was joking with the supervisor in the same exam room, not implying any disrespect to the candidate.
In response to concerns about the quality of education when the entrance score is low, Mr. Phu said that the low score may not be entirely due to the students’ abilities, but in some cases it may be due to external factors such as health problems during the exam. However, the principal also said that “if the child is weak, the parents must take better care of him/her.”
In the 2024-2025 school year, the benchmark score for grade 10 at Nam Dan 2 High School is 13.2 points, with 500 candidates passing the exam out of a total of 720 applications.
Statistics show that the admission benchmark for grade 10 in Nghe An for the 2025-2026 school year has decreased compared to last year.
For example, Ha Huy Tap High School's admission score for the first round was 17.75 points, and for the second round it was 17.5 points, while the admission score for the 2024-2025 school year was 21 points. Le Viet Thuat High School's admission score was 15.25 points, 6.4 points lower than the previous school year (21.65 points for the first round). These are two schools located in favorable locations (old Vinh city).
For schools in rural areas such as Thai Lao High School, the benchmark score is 11.75 points, 7 points lower than the previous school year. Le Hong Phong High School is 10 points, 6.5 points lower than the 2024-2025 school year.
The benchmark score of Nghi Loc 3 High School is 11.25 points, while the benchmark score (phase 1) for the 2024-2025 school year is 17.75 points and the benchmark score for phase 5 is 16.6 points...
