The Department will support the general online 6th grade enrollment registration portal. for 6 schools to organize the survey. Accordingly, students will select one of the 6 schools mentioned above and update general personal information on the system to limit the situation of virtual registration documents.
KLOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Mr. Dang Nguyen Thinh, Head of the Education and Training Department of District 7, said that the department is developing a survey plan for grade 6 of Nguyen Huu Tho Secondary School to submit to the District 7 People's Committee. The district chose to organize a survey for Nguyen Huu Tho School because every year this school has quite a lot of pressure on the needs of parents. At the same time, the district is gradually building schools according to an advanced model - international integration with criteria on the output quality of students completing secondary school. Therefore, there must be preparations right from this school year.
According to Mr. Thinh, in the first year of implementation, in the plan, the department is also considering technical solutions, whether or not to conduct a joint survey with Truong Dai Nghia. If organized according to a separate plan, how would the Department propose to support the professional work of compiling the survey content? Leaders of the Department of Education and Training of District 7 said that next week they will seek specific opinions with the Department on the above contents.
In Thu Duc City, the 2023 - 2024 school year has implemented 6th grade enrollment using a survey similar to Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted and Tran Quoc Toan 1 Secondary School. By the 2024 - 2025 school year, Mr. Nguyen Thai Vinh Nguyen, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City, said to build a plan and expand the implementation of 6th grade enrollment by surveying the capacity of two additional secondary schools, Hoa Lu and Binh Tho.
Mr. Vinh Nguyen said that the three secondary schools mentioned above are schools that always have a large number of students wishing to attend but the quota is not large. If admission is based on math and Vietnamese scores in elementary school as well as English certificates, it will be very difficult to guarantee. Therefore, organizing the survey will help the school select truly excellent and suitable students.
The leader of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City informed that after one year of enrolling 6th grade students at Tran Quoc Toan 1 Secondary School according to the procedures and survey questions for 6th grade of Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted, the next school year will be completed. 2024 - 2025, the Department of Education and Training will be proactive in compiling survey content. The Department will propose a survey time of 3 schools in Thu Duc City that does not overlap with Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted to best meet the needs, aspirations and opportunities to enroll in the school that students desire.
Secondary schools expected to enroll students in grade 6 by this year's survey are considered advanced schools - international integration or schools with registration needs for first-level enrollment many times higher than the enrollment target.
HPROHIBITING EXAM PREPARATION
The survey will help students have the capacity and ability to enroll in appropriate schools and schools can recruit students according to public and transparent criteria. Mr. Vinh Nguyen also added that the survey is intended to evaluate students' abilities, capacities, and skills, so exam preparation only makes students stressed. Last year's results showed that there were students who prepared for a long time but their exam results were not good and vice versa. It is important that students' capacity, knowledge, and skills have been formed and accumulated during the learning process at the elementary level.
Referring to the work of organizing and compiling this year's 6th grade survey content, Mr. Vinh Nguyen said that the survey structure will be similar to the survey for Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted last year, however the difficulty will be lighter. The process of compiling survey questions will be strictly implemented, ensuring confidentiality and the writing team will be selected from highly qualified and experienced teachers.
Also according to the regulations of the Department of Education and Training, in case of not being admitted to grade 6 according to the capacity assessment survey, students will still be considered for admission to grade 6 according to the regulations of the district admission steering committee. , which means they are still assigned to secondary schools in the area.
Mr. Nguyen Thai Vinh Nguyen said that all students who complete primary school are assigned to secondary schools, before participating in the 6th grade survey. Only when candidates are admitted, they apply for admission to organized schools. When conducting a survey, students' names will be deleted from the system so that secondary schools do not have to wait for assigned students to submit applications, and at the same time create opportunities for other students. Therefore, parents do not have to worry that their children participating in the 6th grade survey will lose the opportunity to enroll in secondary schools.
The remaining secondary schools still recruit students through admission
In addition to the 6 schools mentioned above, the remaining secondary schools still recruit students through admission. Registration and admission are done entirely online.
The enrollment process is divided into 2 phases, in which phase 1 prioritizes enrollment of subjects who are actually residing in the area. Based on the units that have not recruited enough students compared to the assigned quota, the admission steering committee at the beginning of the level decides to open the second round of enrollment, and at the same time regulates the subjects allowed to register during this period. The deadline for announcing admission results is August 2.
Thu Duc City and districts apply geographic information system (GIS) to support enrollment work. In particular, the allocation of students to schools in the area is done on the basis of prioritizing students to study at schools near their place of residence, however, depending on the actual situation in the locality, it may be considered not to classify based on administrative boundaries of the ward.
