Hanoi Adds 540 Slots for 10th Grade Public School Admissions in 2026
Hanoi is set to increase the number of public school slots for 10th grade by 540 for the 2026 academic year,

The Vietnamese Ministry of Education has recently set forth guidelines regarding the admissions process for 10th-grade students. According to the new policy, entrance examinations will only be conducted in regions where public schools are unable to accommodate the number of students seeking admission.
This move is part of a broader effort to ensure that educational resources are allocated more effectively, particularly in areas where demand for schooling exceeds available capacity. By limiting entrance exams to specific regions, the Ministry aims to alleviate the pressure on students and families in these areas, allowing for a more equitable distribution of educational opportunities.
Officials believe that this approach will not only simplify the admissions process but also help to reduce the competitive stress associated with entrance exams. The Ministry emphasizes the importance of providing quality education for all students, regardless of their geographical location.
As Vietnam continues to modernize its education system, these guidelines reflect a commitment to addressing the challenges faced by students in various regions. The Ministry encourages local authorities to prepare adequately for the implementation of these new guidelines, ensuring that all students have access to the education they deserve.
