(Baonghean.vn) - Hung Binh Ward (Vinh City) has been one of the "hot" and "overloaded" areas for preschool education for many years. This year, the reality is even more difficult when the entire ward only has 25 quotas for 2-year-old children.

According to a survey, this year in the entire Hung Binh ward, there are 250 children aged 2 who want to go to school. However, with only 25 quotas, enrolling in kindergarten is considered more difficult than enrolling in university. Before the drawing of lots, parents must present the application receipt.

Anxiety and nervousness were etched on the faces of each parent. Depending on the order of registration, parents were arranged from top to bottom and would take turns drawing lots. Photo: My Ha |

The drawing of lots was witnessed by the leaders of Hung Binh ward. Before the drawing of lots, the school's Board of Directors stood up to speak, sharing the concerns of parents and expressing sympathy if any child was unfortunately not admitted. Photo: My Ha |

Of the more than 100 ballots distributed, only 23 were accepted because the school reserved two priority slots for children from poor and near-poor households and children with disabilities. Lucky parents will draw a numbered ballot. Otherwise, they will fail if they get a "blank" ballot. Photo: My Ha |

The first two parents were admitted because they were special beneficiaries. Mr. Nguyen Phuc Nam (in white shirt) said: Because his family is near-poor, having his child admitted to a public school will save him nearly 1,500,000 VND/month in tuition. Photo: My Ha |

The remaining parents had to rely on luck even though all the ballots were shuffled before the draw. Photo: My Ha |

Working as a freelancer, life was hard, so at the age of 45, Ms. Le Hong Thinh gave birth to her second child. Today, a boy named Quyet Tien brought luck to the family when he won the last vote of the lottery. Photo: My Ha |

Meanwhile, most of the remaining parents agreed to take back their records and find ways to send their children to other kindergartens. Photo: My Ha |
