The domain https://hcm.quanlytruonghoc.edu.vn is not the database system of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education .

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, the department has consistently and exclusively implemented a database system for the education sector, which is centrally managed and considered a public asset in the sector's digital environment. This system is officially operational at: https://csdl.hcm.edu.vn .

However, upon review, the Department of Education and Training noted that some educational institutions are currently using software at the domain https://hcm.quanlytruonghoc.edu.vn and claiming it to be the official database system of the education sector. This software is being implemented by some individuals and businesses who present themselves as representatives of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training.

Following this incident, the Department of Education and Training announced and affirmed: The software system at the domain https://hcm.quanlytruonghoc.edu.vn is not the database system of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training and is not under the management, implementation, or ownership of the Department of Education and Training. The Department has not appointed any unit to represent it in carrying out this task.

The Department of Education and Training warns schools not to create or generate original data from the system https://hcm.quanlytruonghoc.edu.vn or any other school management software. All original data must be created exclusively in the departmental database at https://csdl.hcm.edu.vn . School principals will be held responsible if this violation occurs in their school, affecting the integrity and uniqueness of the departmental database.

The Department of Education and Training does not require educational institutions to use management software from any specific provider.

All management, operation, reporting, statistics, and official data exchange activities of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training are carried out only on the database system at https://csdl.hcm.edu.vn . Data from this system is the official and sole source of information serving the state management work of the Department of Education and Training.

The Department of Education and Training does not require educational institutions to use school management software from any specific provider. Principals have full discretion to choose school management software/specialized software that suits their needs, provided that these systems meet technical standards (such as information security levels and strict adherence to regulations for two-way data connection and synchronization via API with the education sector's database).
