This morning, Hanoi students attended the 10th Grade Confidence Festival.

The festival mainly attracts 9th grade students from four districts: Cau Giay, Tay Ho, Ba Dinh and Hoan Kiem, but many secondary schools in other areas of Hanoi also inform their parents and students to attend.

How will Hanoi's 10th grade entrance exam in 2025 be organized? What do students need to review and prepare for this exam? What should the first batch of students studying the 2018 general education program pay attention to?...

These are common concerns of many parents and students. In addition, many parents and students also want to be answered about the regulations related to choosing subjects at high school level, and how the learning environment changes after transferring levels.

At the festival, the advisory board, consisting of experts from the Ministry of Education and Training, the Department of Education and Training, and representatives of high schools and middle schools, will answer questions from parents and students from 8am to 11am.

In addition, in the psychological counseling area, psychologists will support students to discover themselves through experiences to have a clearer direction for themselves when entering a new level of education.

Within the framework of the festival, there was the participation of a number of high schools including specialized schools, non-specialized public schools, private schools...

For the first time, Hanoi's 9th graders have had earlier access to schools to learn about the new learning environment, have the necessary information to choose schools, and register for admission to 10th grade.

Tuoi Tre Newspaper has organized career counseling programs and festivals for high school students for more than 20 years, with over 300 programs and festivals providing opportunities to access information for tens of thousands of students across the country.

At present, many changes in education programs and exam innovations cause junior high school seniors to face a lot of pressure and difficulty in preparing their mindset and choosing the next stage of their studies.

Organizing the 10th Grade Confidence Day is meaningful, accompanying the students.

Representatives of high schools attending the festival also acknowledged that every year, they have to wait until students pass the 10th grade entrance exam before the school can organize meetings with parents and students to share about the learning environment, regulations, and class arrangements according to the chosen subject combinations. Many parents and students are confused and have difficulties due to lack of information.

Therefore, the 10th Grade Confidence Day is an opportunity for schools to reach students earlier, before they choose to register for admission.
