The Ministry of Education and Training has issued guiding documents, but this year is the first year of implementation, so not all schools, teacher and every student master these new points. Up to now, there are still doubts and questions about the elective subjects and thematic content of the upcoming 10th grade.

The fact that students will study 7 subjects and choose 5 subjects by themselves has made the choice of the combination of 5 subjects diverse, even a bit confusing for those who are still “drowsy”, when they will have More than 100 ways to choose combinations of 5 subjects from 3 subject groups.

The school has a plan to build elective subject combinations and will publicly announce the combination plan. to students prior to enrollment in the school.

All high schools in Nam Dinh province do not have art and music teachers because these are two new subjects that have never been taught at the high school level. Nam Dinh province expects that, next school year, students will temporarily not study these two subjects until the province has a plan to recruit art teachers for high schools.

The construction of a combination of electives is calculated to ensure a long-term path, at least 3 years for students until they graduate. The problem is that after finishing 10th grade, if they want to change the elective combination, or they move to a school that doesn’t have the same elective combination, what should they do?
