Education Department responds to Vinh City voters about solutions to reduce pressure on 10th grade enrollment
Increasing the number of schools to reduce the pressure of admission to grade 10 is the desire of many voters in Vinh city. Therefore, people propose to expand or open more branches of high schools in the city.
In recent years, as the number of students taking the entrance exam to public schools in the area has increased rapidly, admission to public schools will become more difficult, because the school's quota can only meet about 70% of students in the area. It is expected that from the next school year, the number of students taking the entrance exam to grade 9 in the city (not including the merger of Cua Lo and some communes of Nghi Loc) will be from 8,000 - 9,000 students/year, an increase of 2,000 - 3,000 students compared to the 2024 exam.

Responding to voters in the city about this issue, the Department of Education and Training said: In recent school years, to meet the learning needs of Vinh city students, the Provincial People's Committee has approved a plan to develop high schools in Vinh city and surrounding areas in the direction of increasing classes and increasing student numbers.
In the 2024-2025 school year alone, Huynh Thuc Khang High School, Ha Huy Tap High School, and Le Viet Thuat High School each have 3 additional classes, and 3 10th grade classes have been recruited from Vinh University Practical High School.
Thanks to that, 12 more public 10th grade classes have been added. In addition, consider increasing the enrollment quota for 10th grade for public high schools near Vinh, in the areas of Hung Nguyen and Nghi Loc. With these measures, it has contributed to reducing the pressure on public 10th grade for students in Vinh city.
