Parents in Ho Chi Minh City lined up from night to buy first grade admission documents for their children.

Ms. MT (residing in District 4) said that she had been here since 10pm on June 16. When she arrived, about 30 parents were also waiting here. After that, the number of parents continued to increase.

Ms. T said that her husband is a civil servant and is in the priority admission group of the school, but he was still worried that the application documents would sell out early, so he also took the opportunity to line up to buy the application documents to be sure.

Similarly, some other parents who were present this morning said that because they thought the application forms would start being distributed at 2:00 p.m. on June 17, they arrived at 5:00 a.m. on June 17, but when they arrived, there were already many parents waiting. However, all parents lined up and waited their turn without making any noise.

A representative of Saigon Practical Primary School said that due to the conditions of facilities and teachers, the school has not been able to increase the enrollment scale despite the high demand from parents. The school also does not want to have to wait in line. In addition, for grade 1 enrollment, the school only enrolls students by distributing applications in order and based on priority groups, unlike grade 6, which is based on academic results, foreign languages ​​or ability assessments.

Saigon Practical Primary School enrolls 150 students for the 2024-2025 school year, a decrease of 25 students compared to last year.

The priority admission subjects are: children whose father or mother is a civil servant or employee currently working at Saigon University. Next are the children of individuals and units that have cooperated and contributed to the development of the school; children whose father or mother is a cadre, civil servant or employee in the public sector and preschool children belonging to the remaining subjects. The admission results will be announced on July 1.

This is the only school in Ho Chi Minh City where every year parents line up to buy first grade application forms for their children.
