Many localities reduce the 4th entrance exam subject for grade 10 in the 2024-2025 school year.

The 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year is the final exam according to the 2006 general education program. From the 2025-2026 school year, the exam will be organized according to the 2018 general education program.

Therefore, in order to reduce pressure on students, many localities have adjusted the number of exam subjects to only 3 subjects.

Candidates and parents look up information on registration numbers and exam rooms for grade 10 public high schools in the 2023-2024 school year in Hanoi .

The Department of Education and Training of Bac Giang has advised and proposed the Party Committee of the People's Committee of Bac Giang province to consider reducing the fourth subject in the entrance exam for grade 10 of non-specialized public high schools in the 2024-2025 school year in Bac Giang province and only organize for candidates to take the exam in 3 subjects: Literature, Math and English.

According to the Bac Giang Department of Education and Training, in fact, 9th grade students in 4 years of secondary school have had 2 years affected by the Covid-19 epidemic (2019-2020, 2020-2021 school years), only 2 years were less affected by the epidemic. In addition, 9th grade students this year are in their last year of studying under the old general education program.

Reducing the fourth exam subject to only organizing exams in three subjects will reduce pressure on educational institutions, parents, and students and receive consensus and support from public opinion.

The Hai Phong Department of Education and Training has just proposed two options for the 10th grade entrance exam for public high schools to survey the opinions of students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

The Hai Phong Department of Education and Training has proposed two options: option 1 is for candidates to take 3 subjects, including: Math, Literature, English; option 2 is for candidates to take 4 compulsory subjects, including: Math, Literature and a combination test (Foreign language and one subject drawn from the remaining subjects).

Hai Phong Department of Education and Training explained that the survey of opinions of students, teachers, and managers of educational institutions on the entrance exam plan for grade 10 of high school in the 2024-2025 school year is to achieve high consensus in society and at the same time is the basis for the unit to submit to the City People's Committee on the admission method.

Last year, Hai Phong was one of the localities that organized 3 exams including: Math, Literature, Foreign Language to enroll students in grade 10 of high school.

In the 2024-2025 school year, the entrance exam for grade 10 of Vinh Phuc province's public high schools will be reduced to 3 subjects, including Math, Literature, and English, instead of 5 subjects (Math, Literature, and a combination of 3 subjects, including Foreign Language) as in previous years. The exam is scheduled for June 1-2; the specialized subject exam will be on June 3.

This year, candidates taking the 10th grade entrance exam in Ninh Binh province will take three subjects: Math, Literature and the third subject will be one of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, English.

Besides reducing the number of subjects, Ninh Binh province also adjusted to reduce the time for taking the test and the announcement time for the third subject will be earlier.

Similarly, some localities have decided to reduce the number of exam subjects compared to last year to only 3 subjects to reduce pressure on candidates such as the provinces: Hung Yen , Ho Chi Minh City , Da Nang , Can Tho ...

Meanwhile, up to this point, Hanoi has not yet finalized the number of entrance exams for grade 10 public high schools. According to the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, in the 2024-2025 school year, Hanoi will apply the entrance exam method, including 3 compulsory subjects: Math, Literature and Foreign Language.

The fourth subject, if any, will be announced in March 2024. The fourth subject will be selected by random drawing from among the subjects in the current secondary education program of the Ministry of Education and Training.

According to statistics, the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year in Hanoi increased by 5,000 students compared to 2023.

Many parents, students and teachers in Hanoi expressed their wish that the city would soon finalize the number of exam subjects for 3 subjects: Math, Literature, Foreign Language to reduce pressure on students.
