TPO - The admission scores of three subjects are not multiplied by a factor of two, and the third subject was announced one month early by the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, which is a new score compared to previous years' exams.

On February 26, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced the third exam subject, the 10th grade high school entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year. Accordingly, this year's exam, Hanoi will organize three exams including: Math, Literature and Foreign Language to enroll 10th grade high school students.

According to the leader of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, the unit previously proposed two options for the third exam subject but finally "finalized" foreign language as a compulsory subject in all levels of education.

The reason is that, in recent times, Hanoi has highly appreciated the improvement of foreign language teaching quality in schools. The Department of Education and Training has also had many solutions to promote and narrow the gap between this subject in inner-city and suburban schools. In addition, promoting foreign language teaching is also in line with the direction of gradually making English the second language in schools.

This school year, it is expected that the whole city will have about 127,000 students taking the junior high school graduation exam.

The new point of this year's exam is that the Department of Education and Training announced the third exam subject in February, about 1 month earlier than previous years. According to the school year's curriculum, schools are still teaching according to plan at this time. The Department of Education and Training directed schools to pay attention to and organize review sessions for final year students to best prepare for this year's exam.

According to the leader of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, this year's exam has new points that candidates need to pay attention to.

That is, in previous years, the admission scores of subjects were calculated by coefficients, in which Math and Literature were multiplied by two. This year, all subjects are calculated by coefficient one.

The second new point is that this year Hanoi has 4 specialized high schools and all of these schools will recruit 100% specialized classes, not regular classes.

Another new point in this year's exam is that in addition to the priority points according to regulations, the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training stipulate additional incentive points for students who win prizes in national-level exams. The Department of Education and Training will have detailed instructions for parents and students to grasp the information.

This school year, the city is expected to have about 127,000 students taking the junior high school graduation exam. However, public high schools will only enroll about 79,000 students, the rest will attend vocational training, private high schools, Continuing Education - Vocational Education Centers...
