In recent days, many candidates have complained about the admission process to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education .

On social networks, a candidate registered his second wish to study Psychology - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; his third wish to study Legal Education - Hue University of Education. When the schools announced the admission scores, his second wish was short of points (not accepted); his third wish was over the standard score - meaning he was admitted. However, when looking up on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training, it was reported that all his wishes were rejected. The candidate contacted Hue University of Education and was informed that he had been admitted according to his second wish to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

Sharing with VietNamNet reporter, Ms. Thao (HCMC) said that her child got 25.71 points. Her child registered for the first choice: Mathematics Pedagogy - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the second choice: Mathematics Pedagogy - Saigon University; the third choice: Primary Education - Ho Chi Minh City University of Education; the fourth choice: Primary Education - Saigon University.

When the schools announced the benchmark scores, her child compared and found that he was admitted to the Primary Education major at Saigon University with a benchmark score of 25.17. However, when looking up on the Saigon University website, he found that he was not admitted because he was admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education with a higher priority, even though he did not meet the benchmark score.

Ms. Thao contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Saigon University and was explained by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education that due to a system error, her child was passing the virtual entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education while in fact, he was passing the entrance exam to Saigon University.

When contacting Saigon University, she was informed that she had been admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education with a higher priority. Currently, Ms. Thao is very confused because the enrollment date is almost over, while no one has confirmed it yet.

Candidate Cong Thuan said he got 25 points in group A00. In his application, he put his first, second, and third wishes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, and his fourth wish was at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy – majoring in Medical Laboratory Technology.

When the Ministry of Education and Training announced the results, the system reported that Thuan did not pass any of his wishes, while comparing with the standard score, he was qualified to pass his 4th wish - Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Immediately after that, Thuan directly contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, and was informed by the school that "the candidate had passed the 4th choice, so he had to go to Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy to continue". Thuan contacted Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy and was informed that he had been admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

"I am currently extremely confused and scared because of this fake passing situation. I don't know what my future will be like because I have worked hard for 12 years to achieve a high score, but falling into this situation makes me really desperate, scared and pressured" - Thuan said and added that if the matter is not resolved promptly, he will lose the opportunity to enter university this year.

Many candidates and parents contacted Saigon University to ask about the admission status. Candidates and parents contacted the school to report that they applied to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Saigon University. Candidates who passed the entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education but did not pass the entrance exam to Saigon University were informed by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education that they had passed the entrance exam to Saigon University.

VietNamNet reporters are contacting the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Dr. Huynh Trung Phong, Director of the Center for Student Support and Entrepreneurship Development of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, said that on August 22, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education announced the admission scores. Immediately after that, the school reviewed the admission list and found that there were cases where candidates did not meet the admission scores but were on the admission list and vice versa.

Considering that this is a technical error and to ensure the maximum benefits of candidates, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has sent a document to the Ministry of Education and Training to create conditions for candidates to continue the admission process and requested support from related universities. Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has worked with each university and has initially received very positive cooperation. Parents and candidates will be resolved satisfactorily to ensure their legitimate rights.
