Hanoi parents always sleep at the school gate, struggling to get a seat for their children

In the hope of winning a "ticket" to 10th grade for their child, many parents in Hanoi did not hesitate to queue up all night - "sleep" at the school gate to wait for the application to enter the school.

Earlier on the evening of June 30, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced the 105,000 students' scores in the 10th grade exam. It is known that the number of admission quotas for public high schools is about 72,000 (accounting for 55.7%), the same target of some specialized schools. This means that more than 30,000 students will not have the opportunity to attend public schools.

Students who unfortunately fail to enroll can choose to study at vocational education centers - continuing education; colleges, secondary schools or vocational schools. Another way that is said to be "more expensive" is to study at non-public high schools (private schools).

One of the private schools in Hanoi can be mentioned Ta Quang Buu High School. This year, the school enrolls students in three forms: direct admission, academic record and grade 10 test scores of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training.

With the third form of admission, the school offers a standard score of 38.5. However, the school did not specify specific admission criteria. According to the notice issued on July 2, the school received applications from 8:00 am on July 5 and stopped accepting when the quota was full.

Because they did not want to "lose" the opportunity, dozens of parents came to line up early, some people quickly entered the school gate to sit from the afternoon to reserve their seats. Many other parents also invited their sisters along, bringing plastic chairs, fans and drinking water, all night "dressing" waiting for morning to submit documents for their children.

"The competition to enter the 10th grade this year is too hard, because of the pressure on our children's exams, the scores are not high, so my wife and I don't have the heart to speak harshly to our children. I hope to win the number of applications for our children to enter the 10th grade. "- said one parent.

A representative of Ta Quang Buu school shared: "This morning, when the school opened, they asked the school to give priority to those who came early, but we could not do so because those who came later would think it was the best option. It's not fair. If you prioritize those who come in line the night before, it can set a precedent for them to come earlier next year. This will be hard and stressful for parents."

According to the school's representative, in the coming years, the unit will calculate and research to have a more favorable enrollment form for parents and students.

At Hoang Cau High School, more than 100 parents with children who failed grade 10 have surrounded the school gate since 1 am this morning (July 5) with the desire to win a place to apply for their child to enter the 10th grade. now. Many people said they have been present since last night and brought plastic chairs, drinking water, staying up all night to submit documents for their children.

Talking to the press, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Phuong - Vice Principal of Hoang Cau High School (Hanoi), said that since last year, the school also had queues from early, but not to the same extent as this year and in just two hours. is solved. Meanwhile, this year, parents queued for a record from 9am the day before.

Ms. Phuong also added, to relieve pressure on parents, instead of receiving documents equal to the quota the school has, from the morning the school determined to receive all documents for parents to submit and then consider them. recruit. After that, the school takes admission from high to low to meet the quota.

Previously, on July 3, hundreds of parents whose children scored 41 points or more but failed the 1st wish to enter class 10 in Hanoi also poured into the gate of Phan Huy Chu High School from 2am to win a place in class 10 for their child. . Although they struggled to get a small spot in the school, parents still tried their best in the hope that their children would have a place to study.
