Admission to grade 10 in Nghe An is expected to have many changes.

Admission to Huynh Thuc Khang High School will be adjusted.

If not counting the two specialized schools of the province, Huynh Thuc Khang High School is the school with the highest entrance score in the province and much higher than the remaining schools. Therefore, before the 10th grade exam, there was a lot of information about admission to the school, related to admission based on IELTS results, admission to advanced classes, and registration of wishes. For more than a year now, information about Huynh Thuc Khang High School opening a second campus has also received attention.

Regarding the above information, teacher Phan Xuan Phan - Principal of Huynh Thuc Khang High School said: Up to this point, there has not been any official document on the 10th grade enrollment plan next year. However, through grasping some information from the Department of Education and Training, we are planning to change some methods.

Specifically, this year the school will enroll 1 IELTS class and the enrollment will be conducted before the 10th grade entrance exam. Students with IELTS certificates (and other equivalent certificates) will be considered for admission in order from highest to lowest.

Admission to the advanced class can be done right from the beginning, through registration of wishes. Accordingly, students do not need to be admitted to a public school to be able to register for the advanced class as in previous years, but can register for the advanced class according to their first wish.

The school is also taking steps to request permission to build a second campus of Huynh Thuc Khang High School. If the permission is approved soon, it is expected to enroll students from the next school year to increase the choice opportunities for students in the eastern part of the city.

The principal of Huynh Thuc Khang High School also added: These changes may affect the registration decisions of candidates in the upcoming 10th grade entrance exam. Particularly, students who plan to register for the school entrance exam need to consider to make a choice that suits their abilities. At the same time, at this time, the most important thing is to supplement knowledge, focus on reviewing, and strive to set a goal of at least 7.5 points per subject to increase the chances of being admitted to Huynh Thuc Khang High School. This has also been the minimum score to be admitted to the school in recent years.

Candidates can change their wishes after completing the exam.

Previously, some review groups in Vinh city also announced that this year, after the admission scores were announced, students could change their admission wishes. This is different from previous years when candidates could only change their wishes after the schools announced the admission rate.

About the admission periodgrade 10This year, Mr. Thai Van Thanh - Director of the Department of Education and Training also said: The Department has developed a plan and will submit it to the Provincial People's Committee for approval. After being approved by the Provincial People's Committee, the Department will have a specific instruction document so that schools, students and parents can grasp accurate and complete information.

However, this year the Department plans to make some adjustments. Specifically, candidates will be allowed to change their wishes after completing the 10th grade entrance exam. After taking the exam, candidates can change their wishes based on their own assessment of their test results, consulting with teachers, parents, etc. to ensure the highest chance of admission.

Regarding the information that some parents shared that this year, candidates taking the 10th grade entrance exam can change their preferences after knowing their exam scores - similar to the university admission method, the Department representative said it was incorrect.

In addition, this way of doing things can lead to problems when many high schools are at risk of losing students with high scores when they change their preferences to other schools. Therefore, the final change of preferences is done after the candidate completes the 10th grade entrance exam and before the exam scores are announced.

Mr. Thai Van Thanh added that this year, enrollmentIELTS classThere will also be some adjustments. The admission method will be based on IELTS scores and other international language proficiency certificates with equivalent conversion rates. The IELTS class admission will be conducted before the 10th grade high school entrance exam takes place. If admitted, candidates only need to be recognized as graduating from junior high school without having to take the exam and pass any public high school as in previous years.

For advanced classes at Huynh Thuc Khang High School, candidates register their wishes and participate in the admission process normally.

Regarding the plan to open the second campus of Huynh Thuc Khang High School in Nghi An Commune (Vinh City), in the 2023-2024 school year, 6 classes will be enrolled. In the condition that the facilities have not been built, the school will rent a location to ensure teaching according to the program.

According to the leaders of the Department of Education and Training, the adjustments in 10th grade high school admissions this year are all aimed at finding the best opportunities for students to participate in higher education according to their wishes, abilities and conditions./.
