Admission to grade 6 specialized schools: Hanoi will study special mechanisms

Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan - Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that the unit is developing a plan for enrollment at the beginning of the new school year to report to the city.

Specifically, the Department is developing a suitable enrollment plan and scheme for preschool, grade 1, grade 6 and grade 10 levels for the 2024-2025 school year.

"At the same time, the unit will research and advise the city to propose a specific mechanism with appropriate solutions in enrolling students in specialized schools on the basis of ensuring the key training work of the capital," informed a representative of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training.

Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted is not allowed to continue enrolling in grade 6.

Previously, the Ministry of Education and Training had just sent an official dispatch requesting the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to direct the enrollment of students into specialized high schools in accordance with regulations. According to the content of this official dispatch, the Ministry of Education and Training said that, based on Clause 1, Article 62 of the 2019 Education Law, specialized schools are established at the high school level, so there is no junior high school level in specialized schools.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training requested Hanoi to direct the enrollment of students into specialized high schools in accordance with regulations.

In the document, the Ministry of Education and Training also stated that the secondary school enrollment model of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted is no longer in accordance with regulations. Therefore, from this year, Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted is not allowed to enroll 6th graders.

This information is making many parents worried, especially those whose children are in grade 5 and have plans to apply to grade 6 at Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted in the 2024 - 2025 school year.

In recent years, the number of applications for the secondary school system submitted to Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted has reached about 3,000 - 5,000 candidates. Meanwhile, the school only enrolls 200 students.

In the 2023-2024 school year, students who wanted to be admitted to grade 6 at this school needed to pass strict requirements such as having 5 years of primary school with excellent completion of learning and training tasks, and not having more than 2 9 points in all subjects during 5 years.
