The People's Committees of districts are required to direct the local Department of Education and Training to review the needs and develop plans for student allocation in accordance with the physical conditions and student numbers of each school. Public schools must proactively accept students who are children of officials, civil servants and public employees from Quang Nam who are transferred, rotated or are working in Da Nang. Priority should be given to schools near the parents' residence or workplace.

The document also emphasizes that the organization of enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year must be on schedule, ensuring accuracy, fairness, seriousness, and safety. Relevant information such as enrollment routes, quotas, time, and enrollment methods must be fully disclosed to the public.

The investigation of the number of school-age children, zoning and assigning enrollment targets must be close to reality, in order to ensure enough places for students throughout the city after the merger.

On the same day, the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City said that it had sent a document to the Department of Education and Training of Quang Nam province regarding the review of the learning needs of children of officials, civil servants and public employees of Quang Nam province.
