What is the age of 4th Grade students in Vietnam?

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

Age of primary school students

1. The age for students entering first grade is 6 years and is calculated by year. Disabled children, children with physical or intellectual underdevelopment, children from areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, ethnic minority children, orphans with no support, children returning from abroad, and children of foreigners studying or working in Vietnam may enter the first grade at an older age than prescribed, but not more than 3 years older. Cases where children enter first grade more than 3 years older than the prescribed age will be decided by the head of the Department of Education and Training.

2. Primary school students may study at an older age than prescribed in cases where students are repeating a grade, students from areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, ethnic minority students, disabled students, physically or intellectually underdeveloped students, orphans with no support, children returning from abroad, and other cases as prescribed by law.

Thus, generally, the age for entering first grade is 6 years, calculated by year, and if students progress to the next grade each year, then 4th grade students are 9 years old.

However, 4th grade students may be older than the prescribed age in cases where the students repeat a grade, come from areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions, are ethnic minorities, are disabled, have physical or intellectual underdevelopment, are orphans with no support, return from abroad, or other cases as prescribed by law.
