00:00:03.642 --> 00:00:06.974 
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of
Education and Training has announced a 

00:00:06.974 --> 00:00:10.306 
structure for the reference exam for 3
subjects of the Math, Literature and 

00:00:10.306 --> 00:00:13.382 
Foreign Language exams of the public
10th grade entrance exam in 2026. 

00:00:14.102 --> 00:00:18.140 
The structure for reference is announced
early to help students and teachers 

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:19.822 
prepare for teaching and learning. 

00:00:21.462 --> 00:00:25.174 
Because the announcement of the exam
structure early will help teachers and 

00:00:25.174 --> 00:00:28.886 
students have the following advantages:
the first thing is to grasp the 

00:00:28.886 --> 00:00:30.742 
department's orientation in the exam preparation. 

00:00:30.802 --> 00:00:34.676 
The second thing is that teachers will
quickly get responses to the department 

00:00:34.676 --> 00:00:38.252 
about the issues they are still
concerned about with the exam and 

00:00:38.252 --> 00:00:39.742 
receive answers from the department. 

00:00:40.242 --> 00:00:44.022 
If both sides work, that will be the
best for the students. 

00:00:44.022 --> 00:00:48.275 
The third thing is that students will
also be able to refer to the exam to 

00:00:48.275 --> 00:00:51.464 
start making a review plan for
themselves, which places are still weak, 

00:00:51.464 --> 00:00:54.653 
which places are not solid in their
knowledge, so students can start 

00:00:54.653 --> 00:00:55.982 
reviewing and reviewing from now. 

00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:00.790 
According to teacher Vo Kim Bao, the
structure of the 10th grade entrance 

00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:02.710 
exam in 2026 is basically stable. 

00:01:03.110 --> 00:01:07.970 
However, the way to ask questions is
expected to be clearer to limit confusion, 

00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:11.920 
At the same time, the scope of language
materials has been expanded to reduce 

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.710 
the situation of rote learning and
encourage students to think independently. 

00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:18.230 
Learning by sample or machine learning
is no longer suitable. 

00:01:19.495 --> 00:01:25.255 
From this exam structure, I also advise
students to focus on practicing 

00:01:25.255 --> 00:01:28.135 
practical skills to do the test. 

00:01:28.135 --> 00:01:32.133 
And secondly, it is a little more
reading the text, not just reading more 

00:01:32.133 --> 00:01:36.132 
than before, but now it is necessary to
pay attention to reading books according 

00:01:36.132 --> 00:01:40.415 
to the genre that was released in the
competition program, not just reading more books. 

00:01:40.415 --> 00:01:45.303 
For example, in the literary debate
genre or information documents or social 

00:01:45.303 --> 00:01:50.190 
debate documents, students need to
increase reading, read more and read in 

00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:53.855 
the genre, not read what they
like to do. 

00:01:54.195 --> 00:01:57.338 
And especially pay attention to
allocating time to match the exam 

00:01:57.338 --> 00:02:00.195 
structure so that students can
take the exam on time. 

00:02:00.907 --> 00:02:05.023 
After the merger, Ho Chi Minh City has
the largest education sector in the 

00:02:05.023 --> 00:02:06.787 
country with nearly 2.6 million students, 

00:02:07.187 --> 00:02:10.987 
more than 3,500 schools and 110,000
teachers at all levels. 

00:02:11.487 --> 00:02:17.411 
In the 2025-2026 school year, Ho Chi
Minh City has about 150,000 grade 9 

00:02:17.411 --> 00:02:19.527 
students studying at secondary schools. 

00:02:20.147 --> 00:02:24.267 
The 10th grade entrance exam is expected
to take place in early June 2026.
