In particular, for subject 2, the district and county admission steering committees issue criteria for recruiting students outside their residential area (students from out-of-area areas), clearly defining the order of priority for special cases, ensuring transparency, fairness, suitability to reality and publicity on the official information portal.

The Department of Education and Training requires parents to log in to the primary school admissions page at https://tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn , select the district to submit their application and accurately determine the admission target within the prescribed time from May 15 to 5 p.m. on May 19.

Many parents of students ask if parents do not use the priority of subject 1 with "current residence" in the area but choose to register subject 2 and wait for admission consideration according to the place of study or according to the parents' wishes near the workplace for convenient pick-up and drop-off, is that okay?

The leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that the regulations on admission to grades 1 and 6 include 2 groups. However, in the case of group 2, parents need to carefully study the admission plan of the city and locality, and at the same time prepare sufficient evidence to update the online system for the admission process. The Departments of Education and Training are responsible for consulting, guiding the implementation process and answering questions, to ensure the rights of students. Priority regulations must be clearly stated in detail in the admission plan of each locality, ensuring transparency and publicity. Cases that are not in the priority category will be considered last, based on the remaining quota of the schools and the decision of the local primary admission steering committee.
