HCMC: Minimum score for teacher training majors remains high

The attraction and competitiveness in teacher training enrollment are increasing partly due to limited training quotas and the positive impact of tuition support policies for teacher training students.

In the context of high school graduation exam scores decreasing in many subjects, many majors and schools have reduced their floor scores to ensure recruitment sources, but teacher training still maintains a high floor score in many majors.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Education - one of the key teacher training schools in the country, will recruit nearly 5,200 students in 2025.

In this year's admission period, along with direct admission and priority admission, the school applies the method of considering high school graduation exam scores and combined admission (combining academic records and specialized competency assessment test results; high school graduation exam scores and aptitude test; specialized competency assessment test results and aptitude test).

Along with recruiting students at the main campus in Ho Chi Minh City, the school has two additional branches in Long An and Gia Lai.

With the method of considering high school graduation exam scores this year, 22 teacher training majors at the main campus have a minimum score of 19-24 points to receive applications. Six Pedagogy majors have the highest minimum score of 24 points, including Math, Chemistry, Literature, History, Geography, English; in which Pedagogy Chemistry, History, Geography increased by 1 point compared to last year.

At the Gia Lai and Long An branches of the school, the minimum score for teacher training majors is 1 point lower than at the main campus. The other majors of the school have a minimum score of 18-22 points with the method of considering high school graduation scores, depending on the major.

In the combined admission method, the pedagogical sector receives applications with a score of 17-21, depending on the sector; the remaining sectors receive applications with a score of 17-20.

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education organized three specialized competency assessment exams, with more than 28,300 candidates taking the exam. In the 6 subjects of this year's exam, the average score in most subjects increased, the strongest being Literature, Physics, and Biology; only Mathematics decreased slightly, not significantly. The scores of this exam are used by the school in the method of considering in combination with the school report or aptitude test for admission.

Saigon University - a teacher training unit of Ho Chi Minh City, this year enrolls 5,220 students. The school applies 4 admission methods including direct admission and priority admission; considering high school graduation exam scores; considering Ho Chi Minh City National University's capacity assessment test scores; and V-SAT exam results.

Among them, majors in the teacher training group do not consider the results of the competency assessment exam and the V-SAT exam.

For teacher training majors, the school accepts applications from candidates with 18-25 points, most of which increased by 1-6 points; 4 majors maintain the same level as last year.

Among them, History Pedagogy and Geography Pedagogy have the strongest increase in floor scores, from 19 points last year to 25 points. This is the highest floor score in the school and is also among the top in schools and majors, up to this point.

The next majors with the highest floor scores of the school are Mathematics Education with 24.5 points, Chemistry Education, Physics Education, Literature Education, and English Education with the same level of 24 points.

The remaining training groups of Saigon University have a floor score of 17-22 points, depending on the major. In recent years, the entrance standard scores for many teacher training majors have remained high.

This is a positive signal in attracting people with good capacity to study pedagogical fields, contributing to improving the training quality as well as output for this field.

The attraction and competitiveness in teacher training recruitment are increasing partly due to the limited training quota - assigned according to social needs, along with the positive impact of policies supporting living expenses and tuition fees for teacher training students and the increasingly concerned treatment of teachers.
