JANUARY 6 - With the changes in the 2025 National High School Graduation Exam, keeping up with accurate and timely information is essential for students born in 2007. To support students in making well-informed academic decisions, Ho Chi Minh City Education Magazine, in collaboration with various institutions, including UEF, has organized a series of career counseling and admissions guidance programs.

According to the organizers, the program will be conducted across 500 high schools nationwide, including 100 schools in Ho Chi Minh City and around 400 schools in neighboring provinces across the Southeast, Southwest, and Central regions.

At the opening ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tu, Chief of Editor of Ho Chi Minh City Education Magazine and Head of the Organizing Committee, highlighted: "This is the first year that students will take the National High School Graduation Exam with two compulsory subjects and two elective subjects, making subject selection crucial. The 2025 university admissions process also introduces several new elements compared to previous years. Therefore, students need to prepare thoroughly and seek accurate information to make the best academic choices. Our admissions experts are here to provide precise insights and help students navigate subject selection based on their desired university majors."

During the event, students were advised on how to choose elective subjects wisely, updates on new exam formats, labor market demands, and the most in-demand career fields.

Dr. Le Thi Thanh Mai - Former Head of Student Affairs Department of VNU-HCM advised candidates to take advantage of their opportunities by participating in separate exams organized by the schools

Additionally, students received information on admission methods, subject combinations for university entrance exams, past admission scores, and campus life at different universities. Importantly, many students showed great interest in UEF’s diverse and attractive scholarship policies, particularly the early scholarship application program.
 
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thach, Deputy Director of UEF’s Admissions & Counseling Center, shared that before May 31, students can apply for early scholarships at UEF by submitting their first-semester Grade 12 results in three selected subject combinations. Eligible students can receive scholarships of 25%, 50%, or even 100% tuition fees, depending on their academic performance.

Receiving an early scholarship offers numerous benefits, providing students with greater confidence as they prepare for their final exams and allowing them to select a university major that aligns with their interests, strengths, and financial conditions.
