Choosing a 10th grade wish is like "choosing shoes"

This is always a tense battle of wits for both students and parents.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan Mai, Deputy Head of the Examination and Education Quality Assessment Department - Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, when registering to choose their wishes, candidates should choose a school near their home for convenient travel and to ensure their health. Choosing a school should be suitable for their learning ability. "If you choose a school that is not up to your ability, there is a risk of failure or if you are admitted, it will be difficult to maintain your studies" - Ms. Mai noted.

Parents and students also need to note that in grade 10, students have 6 compulsory subjects that all schools teach. In addition, candidates can choose 4 elective subjects out of 9 subjects; when registering to choose a school, they need to carefully research whether the high school they choose has the subjects they want to choose or not. If the school does not organize the subject they choose and have to switch to another subject, it will be difficult to have good academic results in high school. "If candidates are not admitted to public grade 10, parents need to accompany their children to choose other forms of study" - Ms. Mai advised.

Mr. Le Nhu Dang - assistant principal, admissions consultant of Nam Viet School System - said that choosing a high school is like choosing a pair of shoes. If you choose a pair of shoes that do not fit well and are not comfortable, the journey ahead will be very difficult.

In addition to choosing public high schools, parents and students can choose private high schools. When choosing a school, you need to pay attention to the following 4 criteria: Training quality, facilities, tuition fees, and geographical location. The school has many types of study such as 2-day, semi-boarding and boarding. If you choose boarding, you can study in the evening with teachers.

For students wishing to enter specialized schools, Mr. Lam Trieu Nghi, Principal of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School, noted that currently, Ho Chi Minh City has 2 specialized schools: Le Hong Phong and Tran Dai Nghia. However, a new point of this school year is that the Ministry of Education and Training allows these 2 specialized schools to recruit students nationwide, so the competition will be very high. Candidates in Ho Chi Minh City need to consider carefully when choosing to enter specialized schools.

"With experience working with specialized schools and schools that often have specialized classes, I believe that students must have outstanding abilities in a certain subject to choose to study a specialized subject. If you are only good at studying but have no passion, it will be very difficult to pursue a specialized class at a specialized school. In addition, we also consider the geographical location of the school," Mr. Nghi noted.

Students in Ho Chi Minh City will begin registering their wishes for grade 10 from May 2 at the address: ts10.hcm.edu.vn. This year's grade 10 admission registration is 100% online.
