What is the age of 2nd grade students in vietnam?

Based on Article 33 of the Primary School Charter issued together with Circular 28/2020/TT-BGDDT, the age of primary school students is as follows:

Age of Primary School Students

1. The age of students entering grade one is 06 years and is calculated by year. Children with disabilities, slow in physical or intellectual development, children in areas with exceptionally difficult socio-economic conditions, ethnic minority children, orphans without support, children returning from abroad, children of foreign workers studying or working in Vietnam may enter grade one at an older age than prescribed but not more than 03 years older. In cases where children enter grade one over 03 years older than the prescribed age, the head of the Department of Education and Training will decide.

...

Thus, normally the age of students entering grade one is 06 years and is calculated by year, and 2nd grade students promote annually, so 2nd grade students will be 7 years old.

However, 1st grade students can enter school at an older age up to 03 years or more in certain cases, in which case the age of 2nd grade students will be calculated by year based on their previous entry age.
