Nghe An students confused when registering for grade 10
On May 7, students taking the 10th grade entrance exam began registering online. Although they had up to three choices, many students still said that there were not many options to enter public schools.
Insufficient registration rights
Having taken the test twice and scored over 24 points both times, student Tran Ha An (grade 9A) - Nghi Trung Secondary School (Nghi Loc) only registered one wish to enter Nguyen Duy Trinh High School.
This candidate said that he also wanted to try his hand at other public schools, but most of the top schools only admit candidates based on their first choice, so students do not have many opportunities to choose.
The public schools that recruit NV2 are all in mountainous districts or nearly 60km away from where I live, so even if I am accepted, I still cannot attend. The fact that I can only register for one choice at a public school makes me quite worried, because if I fail, I will not have any other opportunities.
Student Tran Ha An
By the morning of May 7, most of the students in class 9A had already chosen the school they planned to register for the exam. Through the synthesis, more than 90% of the students chose Nguyen Duy Trinh High School. A few remaining students chose to register for Nghi Loc 4 High School.
Teacher Hoang Thi Phuong - homeroom teacher said: Last year, Nguyen Duy Trinh High School took more than 18 points and Nghi Loc 4 High School took more than 16 points. This is part of the basis for us to advise and orient students. If any student has weaker academic ability, we will advise students with lower benchmark scores to increase their chances of being admitted to public schools.

The most difficult thing for students is that currently public schools have very few NV2 students, so even though there are up to 3 NVs registered, students do not use all their rights. Another concern for students is that they have to compete with students from Vinh city to Nghi Loc to take the exam, so the standard score will be high.

Before this year's exam season, teacher Le Thi Thuy Hang - Principal of Nghi Trung Secondary School also admitted that there were many difficulties. Specifically, this is a group of students who have been greatly affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, for more than a semester of grade 6, they had to study online without extra classes. This is also the first group of students taking the exam according to the 2018 General Education Program and in the context of schools implementing Circular 29, students' review time is not as much as in previous years.
Teacher Le Thi Thuy Hang added: Last year, our school ranked 26th out of more than 400 secondary schools in the 10th grade entrance exam results with an average score of over 20 points. But this year, I think it will be difficult to achieve this result. This is the reason why students hesitate to register their wishes to enter.Grade 10. Many students from our school will take the entrance exam to Nghi Loc 4 schools or choose to transfer instead of going to the top school in the district, Nguyen Duy Trinh High School.
It is difficult to avoid the situation of "fake" records.
At Ha Huy Tap Secondary School (Vinh City), although students were given passwords and registered for a trial a few days ago, many students said this morning that they had not yet "finalized" their choice. Student Nguyen Tung Lam - class 9C said: "I have taken the trial exam twice and both times scored over 23 points, so I am planning to register for NV1 at Huynh Thuc Khang High School. I don't have to worry much about the remaining wishes, because in Vinh City, only non-public schools have NV2 and NV3.
This year, Ha Huy Tap Secondary School has 8 classes with 335 students, a significant decrease compared to the previous school year. Although the 10th grade entrance exam is expected to be less stressful, many students and parents are still interested in registering for the exam.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Lien - Vice Principal of the school said: Every year, about 80% of our students will pass the entrance exam to public schools. Therefore, when advising students, we require homeroom teachers to grasp the abilities of each student. In addition, the school has organized 2 mock exams for 9th grade students, closely following the sample exam questions and carefully marking and correcting the students' papers. The results of these exams will be one of the important bases for students to determine their own abilities and register for suitable schools.
Because this year the Nghe An Education Department continues to allow students to change their wishes after finishing the exam, many teachers believe that the initial registration is only "relative" and cannot avoid fake applications.
In fact, in previous years, after the exam, the number of students changing their wishes was quite large, leading to fluctuations in "going - coming" at schools.
Due to this difficulty, many teachers and students hope that during the 2 days of changing their wishes, the Department of Education and Training and high schools need to publicly announce the number of students who have adjusted their wishes. From there, to ensure fairness and objectivity in the enrollment process and avoid the situation of massive withdrawal of applications leading to "single losses" and "double losses" for some capable students.
