Not entering grade 10, choosing vocational training with many surprising new points

Do career development opportunities and success in today's context still depend on qualifications? If students do not enter grade 10, what qualities and skills do they need to succeed in vocational training after grade 9?

The online TV consultation program organized by Thanh Nien Newspaper at 2:00 p.m. today (June 10) with the topic "Many learning directions for students after grade 9", broadcast at thanhnien.vn, Facebook fanpage, YouTube channel, Tik Tok Thanh Nien Newspaper, will answer questions about the opportunity for success when studying this profession.

The consulting program has guests:

• Master Tran Phuong, Principal of Viet Giao Secondary School
• Master To Huynh Thien Truong, Vice Principal of Nguyen Tat Thanh Secondary School
• Ms. Nguyen Thi Mong Lanh, Director of Admissions and Communications Center, Saigon Polytechnic College

According to data from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, in the 2024-2025 school year, Ho Chi Minh City will have nearly 89,000 ninth graders. However, only about 76,000 students will take the 2025-2026 public grade 10 entrance exam, and about 71,000 students will pass the public grade 10 exam. That means about 18,000 students will go in other directions. One of those directions is vocational training.

Our country's vocationaleducation system will change when, starting from March 2025, colleges and intermediate schools will be transferred to the Ministry of Education and Training for management. At the consultation program, representatives of the schools will inform about the regulations for college and intermediate school enrollment this year after vocational education is transferred to the Ministry of Education and Training.

Vocational training after grade 9 has many advantages because tuition is free and after graduation, you can transfer to university.

In addition, experts will answer questions about the current college and intermediate training programs, what advantages do they have for junior high school graduates? What is the demand for college and intermediate level human resources in the near future, and what careers are suitable for students aged 15-16?

A big advantage is that students after grade 9 who study at secondary level will be exempted from tuition fees by the state in the form of a subsidy. So is the implementation of tuition subsidy the same between public and non-public schools? Whether students have to pay any additional fees during the course of study is also a matter of concern for parents.

In particular, parents are always worried about whether or not they will have good career development opportunities if they do not go to university but only study a trade when they go to work? Is it true that many businesses today, when recruiting and assigning important positions such as department heads and directors, no longer require a degree but only need the ability to contribute? So, what qualities and skills must a trade student have to achieve the above successes?

The above concerns will be shared and answered by school representatives. Parents can also ask more specific questions through Thanh Nien Newspaper channels for advice.
