Hanoi parents stay up all night to get their children into 10th grade: What does the Department of Education and Training say?

Mr. Tran The Cuong - Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, said: "The Department has also received feedback about some self-financed public schools where parents queue up from night to submit applications for their children. We sympathize with this.

In fact, parents lining up to submit applications for their children to private schools or financially autonomous public schools has happened in previous years. However, this year, this situation is happening in more schools.

Mr. Tran The Cuong also said that the school network in Hanoi is very diverse and can meet the learning needs of students. Besides choosing to study in grade 10 at public schools and private schools, parents and students can also refer to vocational education centers - continuing education, vocational education facilities...

Hundreds of parents jostling to get their children into 10th grade in Hanoi on the morning of July 5

“This year, there was a situation where parents lined up to submit applications at many schools, probably because the demand from parents was too high at some schools.

There are schools that need thousands of applications while the quota is limited (about a few hundred). Therefore, parents are worried and line up from midnight to reserve a spot. We will require schools to enroll students according to regulations, ensure fairness and create the best conditions for parents," said Mr. Cuong.

Previously, hundreds of parents whose children scored 41 points but failed their first choice poured into the gate of Phan Huy Chu High School (Hanoi) from 1 or 2 a.m. on July 3 to secure a spot in 10th grade for their children.

The same situation happened at Ta Quang Buu Secondary and High School. According to the school's announcement, the time to receive 10th grade admission applications is from 8:00 a.m. on July 5 and the school will stop enrolling when the quota is full. However, from 11:00 p.m. on July 4, some parents gathered around the school gate. Seeing the image of lining up to reserve seats shared online, many other parents were also impatient and decided to... go.

A similar situation occurred at Hoang Cau High School. According to the announcement of Hoang Cau High School, the enrollment period began at 8:00 a.m. on July 5. However, at around 1:00 a.m. on July 5, hundreds of parents surrounded the school gate hoping to secure a spot to submit their children's application for grade 10.
