Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Departmentof Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, has just requested the Department of General Education to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Quality Management to advise on the 10th grade enrollment plan for the 2026-2027 school year.
Mr. Hieu requested that the two above-mentioned departments need to consult with the Department's Board of Directors on the 10th grade enrollment plan for the 2026-2027 school year in September 2025.
"It is necessary to consult on the 10th grade enrollment plan as soon as possible so that students and teachers know and at the same time orient the teaching and learning work" - Mr. Hieu emphasized.
In addition, the Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City also requested the Department of General Education to coordinate with relevant departments to develop and implement a plan to bring artificial intelligence into teaching in schools.
At the same time, closely coordinate with Saigon University and related units in training and fostering teachers to improve their capacity to apply technology in teaching. Strive to effectively integrate artificial intelligence into teaching activities at educational institutions in the city from the 2025-2026 school year.
It is known that 2025 is the first year that Ho Chi Minh City and provinces and cities across the country will enroll 10th grade students according to the new regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training (Circular 30).
The Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that there are 3 methods of admission to grade 10 of high school: entrance exam, selection or a combination of entrance exam and selection. The selection of the admission method is under the authority of the locality.
For the entrance exam method to grade 10 of high school, localities will conduct 3 exams, specifically math, literature and a third exam or subject selected by the Department of Education and Training.
The Ministry of Education and Training also stipulates: The third exam subject is selected from among the subjects assessed by scores in the general education program at the secondary level, ensuring that the same third exam subject is not selected for more than 3 consecutive years; The third exam is a combination exam of a number of subjects selected from among the subjects assessed by scores in the general education program at the secondary level.
In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City will combine both the selection and entrance exam methods for grade 10. The selection method is applied to private schools, continuing education facilities; Thanh An Secondary and High School, Can Gio District. The remaining schools will enroll grade 10 students through an entrance exam with 3 subjects: math, literature, and foreign language.
Students registering for specialized grade 10 or integrated grade 10 will take a fourth exam, a specialized subject or an integrated subject (for students who have not studied integrated subjects in junior high school).
Worrying about the third subject in the 10th grade entrance exam in 2026
At this time, although the 2025-2026 school year has not yet begun, many parents and teachers of grade 9 are worried about the 2026 grade 10 entrance exam.
"After Ho Chi Minh City merges with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau , the level of students will also be different. I am very concerned, not knowing whether the Department of Education and Training will keep the third subject of the 10th grade entrance exam in 2026, which is a foreign language or not. If the third subject is changed to another subject or the foreign language is changed to a combination test, it will be very difficult for both the school and the students" - an English teacher said.
