Experiences... mind-blowing
“Last year my child entered first grade and for the first time my family registered for online admission for my child. It was an unforgettable time because the whole family couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. The first problem was the wrong child's identification code. In the next few steps, my husband entered the wrong address of his permanent residence and household registration.
Because my child's elementary school is quite famous, my husband and I are nervous, afraid that he will fail and have to transfer to another school. On the day the list of admitted students was announced, my heart dropped because I couldn't log into the system. After struggling for a while, my husband called the school and learned that he had entered the wrong address" - Ms. HTD, a parent in Ho Chi Minh City, said.
Similarly, Ms. Huynh Moc, whose child is in 5th grade, expressed concern: "What I am most concerned about now is how secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City will enroll students in 6th grade.
This year, I suggest there should be specific regulations, asking parents what steps to take. Last year my child entered first grade. Online registration was quite complicated and cumbersome, especially for out-of-class students.
The reason is because our parents are not familiar with online admission. On the other hand, the admission regulations are also not clear. My child almost fell off the first grade list because he was admitted but did not confirm online that he would enroll."
Unify one focal point
Mr. Le Hoai Nam informed: "Based on last year and listening to opinions from educational units and parents, this year the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training continues to implement the early-level enrollment model. online with comprehensive improvements.
The first is to unify a single admission portal to help people avoid confusion or difficulty in finding information about entry-level admissions. The second is to apply GIS maps throughout the city as a support role in allocating students to schools in the area.
Using GIS maps aims to help students study at schools close to home. However, depending on the situation of school distribution in the area, Thu Duc city and district will have a plan and decide to what level to apply GIS in arranging school places for students.
Mr. Nam explained that online admission helps simplify the procedure. Parents do not need to use many types of records and documents like before, all will be confirmed through the student's identification code.
Online enrollment will minimize travel between agencies. Information about regulations, time, admission process, and admission results are continuously updated in real time to help people easily follow...
However, some secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City wonder why all districts must uniformly enroll students on a single address of the department while each district has a different way of doing it?
Not to mention a secondary school principal also "revealed": "We just heard the initial information that each school will have to pay 4 million VND to use the city's enrollment address. Although this is not official information, I hope the relevant units will calculate carefully before applying this enrollment fee.
Ho Chi Minh City has more than 2.000 preschools, primary schools, and secondary schools, and each school pays 4 million VND, so the total budget for the first-level enrollment page is too large" - the above principal analyzed.
Mr. Le Hoai Nam:
Avoid being subjective and losing opportunities
Parents need to fully understand the regulations on enrollment methods, time, subjects... in the enrollment plan of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City and districts. Avoid subjectivity that leads to submitting applications at the wrong time and at the wrong stage, thereby losing students' learning opportunities.
In addition, parents should compare and carefully review information about their permanent residence and enrollment data at the school. If there is an error, it must be reported to the student's final year of study or the local education and training department for correction.
This year, the enrollment process for grades 1 and 6 will be divided into two phases: phase 1 will prioritize cases currently living in the locality, based on permanent residence information stored in the database. Admissions materials.
Phase 2 will handle the remaining cases, depending on the remaining targets of each school and the regulations of the education and training department in the local enrollment plan. Both stages will require online registration on the city's admissions page.
It is expected that 6 schools will enroll 6th grade students by survey
On the afternoon of March 27, reporting on the 3th grade enrollment for the 6-2024 school year at a meeting with the Department of Culture and Society, Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, Mr. Le Hoai Nam said that for the 2025-2024 school year, Ho Chi Minh City plans to There are expected to be 2025 schools enrolling students in 6th grade using a competency assessment survey.
Specifically, Tran Quoc Toan 1 Secondary School, Thu Duc City; Hoa Lu Secondary School, Thu Duc City; Binh Tho Secondary School, Thu Duc City; Nguyen Huu Tho Secondary School, District 7; Nguyen An Khuong Secondary School, Hoc Mon district; Tran Dai Nghia Middle School - High School, District 1 (planned - under construction project).
Also according to Mr. Nam, the above 6 schools belong to the category of advanced schools - international integration or schools with students registered for 6th grade exceeding the enrollment quota.
Talking about the reason for expanding the survey to enroll 6th grade students in the 2024-2025 school year, Mr. Nam informed based on the consolidated document 03/VBHN-BGDDT dated May 3, 5 of the Ministry of Education and Training. , from the 2019-2023 school year, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee allows conducting surveys to enroll 2024th grade students in schools classified as: advanced schools - international integration; The school has students registering for 6th grade enrollment that exceeds its enrollment quota.
