Parents send children to pre-school classesMany parents in big cities are rushing to send their children to nurseries opened by private schools, aiming to help them prepare for first grade. Newton Grammar School has launched two pre-first grade courses with the fees of VND4.4 million (USD200) each. For many schools, after the courses, children will be selected directly for the first grade without having to pass entrance tests. Parents bring their children to such classes because they are worried that their children may fall behind. Demand at some private primary schools is very high and the schools select their intake even at an early age through testing.
