What does Ho Chi Minh City University of Education say about the helpless situation of a series of candidates who passed the exam 'fake'?

Candidates who had enough points to be admitted to other schools were informed that they had been admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has spoken out about this.

In recent days, many candidates have complained about the admission process to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education .

On social media, a candidate registered for the second choice to study Psychology at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the third choice to study Legal Education at Hue University of Education. When the schools announced the admission scores, the second choice was short of points (not admitted); the third choice had more points than the admission score - meaning admitted. However, when looking up on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training, it was reported that all the choices were rejected. The candidate contacted Hue University of Education and was informed that he had been admitted to the second choice to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

Sharing with VietNamNet reporter, Ms. Thao (HCMC) said that her child got 25.71 points. Her child registered for the first choice: Mathematics Pedagogy - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the second choice: Mathematics Pedagogy - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the third choice: Primary Education - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the fourth choice: Primary Education - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

When the schools announced the benchmark scores, her child compared and found that he was admitted to the Primary Education Department at Saigon University with a benchmark score of 25.17. However, when looking it up on the Saigon University website, he found that he was not admitted because he was admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education with a higher priority, even though he did not meet the benchmark score.

Ms. Thao contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Saigon University and was explained by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education that due to a system error, her child was being admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education but in fact was admitted to Saigon University.

When contacting Saigon University, she was told that she had been admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education with a higher priority. Currently, Ms. Thao is very confused because the enrollment date is almost over, while no one has confirmed it yet.

Candidate Cong Thuan said he got 25 points in group A00. In his application, he put his first, second, and third wishes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, and his fourth wish was at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy - majoring in Medical Laboratory Technology.

When the Ministry of Education and Training announced the results, the system reported that Thuan did not pass any of his wishes, while comparing with the standard score, he was eligible to pass the fourth wish - Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Immediately after that, Thuan directly contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, and was informed by the school that "the candidate had passed the 4th choice, so he had to go to Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy to continue". Thuan contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy and was informed that he had been admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

"I am currently extremely confused and scared because of this fake admission situation. I don't know what my future will be like because I have worked hard for 12 years to achieve a high score, but falling into this situation makes me really desperate, scared and pressured" - Thuan said and added that if the matter is not resolved promptly, he will lose the opportunity to enter university this year.

Many candidates and parents contacted Saigon University to ask about the admission status. Candidates and parents contacted the school to report that they applied to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Saigon University. Candidates who passed the entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and failed to pass the entrance exam to Saigon University were informed by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education that they had passed the entrance exam to Saigon University.

VietNamNet reporters are contacting the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Dr. Huynh Trung Phong, Director of the Center for Student Support and Startup Development of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, said that on August 22, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education announced the admission scores. Immediately after that, the school reviewed the admission list and found that there were cases where candidates did not meet the admission scores but were on the admission list and vice versa.

Considering that this is a technical error and to ensure the maximum benefits of candidates, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has sent a document to the Ministry of Education and Training to create conditions for candidates to continue the admission process and requested support from related universities. Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has worked with each university and has initially received very positive cooperation. Parents and candidates will be resolved satisfactorily to ensure their legitimate rights.
