Age of primary school students

1. The age of students entering the grade 1 is 06 years old, calculated by year. Disabled children, children with physical or intellectual developmental delays, children in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, ethnic minority children, orphans with no support, children returning from abroad, children of foreigners studying and working in Vietnam may enter the first grade at an older age than regulated but no more than 03 years. Cases where children enter the first grade exceeding 03 years will be decided by the Director of the Department of Education and Training.

Elementary students study at an older age than the prescribed age in cases such as repeating a grade, studying in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, ethnic minority students, disabled students, students with physical or intellectual developmental delays, orphans with no support, children returning from abroad, and other cases as prescribed by law.
