High school graduation-exam scores no longer the main gateway to university
Eight member schools of Vietnam National University HCMC (VNU-HCM), including: HCMC University of Technology, University of Natural Sciences, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, International University, University of Information Technology, University of Economics and Law, University of Health Sciences, and An Giang University, will no longer admit students based solely on high school finals results. All eight schools use a unified admission method throughout the system, allowing candidates to use high school graduation exam results, the aptitude test organized by VNU-HCM, high school academic results (transcripts), and other appropriate criteria for admission. The combined admission formula for 2026 is calculated according to the principle: Combined admission score = w1 × high school graduation exam score + w2 × aptitude test + w3 × high school academic record score + bonus points (if any). The University of Economics HCMC (UEH) has also stopped considering academic records and high school graduation exam scores as independent admission methods. He said the high school graduation exam plays an important role but primarily reflects the results of review in a short period.

Just 30 seconds at a red light, why the honking and inching forward, Vietnamese drivers?
A woman runs a red light in Vietnam while others wait, in this file photo. Editor’s note: This piece was written by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reader Nguyen Ngoc Thi, highlighting the tendency of some Vietnamese drivers to honk at red lights. In a rush to save a few seconds, people run red lights and end up taking on huge risks. At many intersections, the red light countdown often shows a familiar number: 30 seconds. And such 30 seconds at a red light would no longer feel frustrating, but simply a brief moment to slow down and breathe amid a fast-moving life.

Abundant workforce still lacks skills: experts
Many enterprises are facing difficulties in recruiting highly skilled workers. As a result, the labour market faces a paradox: an oversupply of unskilled labour but a shortage of technical workers. For years, industrial parks and businesses have mainly recruited unskilled workers for repetitive, low-skill jobs, resulting in insufficient attention to workforce training and skill upgrading. Many businesses have not made systematic investments in workforce training, relying instead on short-term training to meet immediate needs. Priority should be given to strengthening foreign language training, with English widely promoted as a key language in both general and vocational education.
