High school is a solid ladder to help students reach bigger doors in the future. That’s why students always want to study at the best school in the country. To get into specialized and gifted schools, students must have very high scores on the 10th grade entrance exam and go through an extremely tough admission test.
Specialized high school system in Vietnam includes 2 systems: specialized schools affiliated with universities (formerly national specialized schools) and provincial specialized schools. The two systems have some differences:
– Scope of admission:
- University specialized schools: recruiting students nationwide.
- Specialized schools of a province/city: only enroll students within that province/city (except for some special cases).
– National exam to select excellent students:
- University specialized schools: directly participate in the National HSG exam as a province/city.
- Provincial/city specialized schools: must participate in the provincial/city-level HSG exam, usually with other specialized schools and regular high schools in the province/city.
