Enrollment for 10th Grade in Hanoi: Finalized Exams in Mathematics, Literature, and Foreign Languages for the 2023 - 2024 School Year?
Admission to Grade 10 in Hanoi: Is the decision to hold exams for three subjects in the 2023 - 2024 school year correct?
On the morning of February 22, Mr. Truong Viet Dung, Chief of Office of the People's Committee of Hanoi City, stated that the City People's Committee has issued a document on the enrollment process for preschools, grade 1, grade 6, and particularly grade 10 for the 2023 - 2024 school year.
On February 16, the Hanoi City People's Committee Office conducted a survey, seeking online opinions regarding the number of exam subjects for public grade 10 admission. Two options were proposed: exams for three subjects, Mathematics, Literature, and Foreign Language, or adding a fourth subject. After selecting one of the two options, respondents could provide additional comments (if any). According to the results announced on the evening of February 20, the majority of survey participants favored the three-subject exam option.
The grade 10 entrance exam will therefore consist of three subjects: Mathematics, Literature, and a Foreign Language (candidates can choose from English, French, German, Japanese, or Korean). Thus, for two consecutive years, this exam will not include a fourth subject.
The Hanoi City People's Committee also requested the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to organize the grade 10 entrance exam in a transparent manner that accurately reflects the quality of teaching and learning, prevents misconduct, and avoids putting pressure on students.
