TPO - The enrollment process for entry-level classes in Ho Chi Minh City this year will be completed in June, two months earlier than in previous years.

First-grade students in Ho Chi Minh City on the first day of school.

Every year, Ho Chi Minh City completes the enrollment process for preschool, first grade, and sixth grade in August. Therefore, this year's enrollment process has been accelerated by two months compared to previous years.

According to the Department of Education and Training, the enrollment process is being conducted earlier than usual to align with the nationwide restructuring and merger of provinces and cities. This includes concluding the tasks at the district level in accordance with the conclusions of the Politburo and the Secretariat regarding the implementation of research and proposals for further restructuring of the political system's organizational apparatus.

After the district-level enrollment steering committees have completed their roles, the Department of Education and Training will issue a directive to establish grassroots-level enrollment steering committees to continue the enrollment process.

For the 2025-2026 school year, enrollment for entry-level classes in Ho Chi Minh City will be conducted online at https://tuyensinhdaucap.hcm.edu.vn/ using the student's identification code and "Actual Residence" according to VNeID. The information used in entry-level enrollment is guaranteed to be 100% extracted from the city's education sector database system.

The Department of Education and Training directs the People's Committee of Thu Duc City and the districts and communes to base their decisions on the actual school situation in their localities to build flexible enrollment areas, not bound by administrative boundaries of wards, in order to create conditions for students to study near their current residences, and to ensure that schools recruit enough students according to the education development plan.

At the same time, the city's shared digital map system will be used to calculate students' travel distances, without allocating students according to administrative ward boundaries, in order to facilitate students attending school near their current residence and in accordance with the local situation.

For schools located on the border between localities, the Department of Education and Training proposes that the Steering Committee for Primary School Enrollment in Thu Duc City, districts, and counties should develop appropriate enrollment plans, creating favorable conditions for students to study near their place of residence.
