PANO – Lieutenant General Pham Hong Huong, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army and First Deputy Head of the Ministry of National Defense’s Military Enrollment Committee, chaired a meeting on July 29th to decide benchmarks to enroll in military academies and schools in 2016.

Reportedly, 44,632 school leavers applied for military schools, an increase of 10.5% against 2015. The determining of the benchmarks is to facilitate the candidate selecting process of military academies and schools by sorting out potential candidates with high scores and rule out unqualified students with too low scores in the recent national school graduation examinations.

The meeting

At the meeting, delegates discussed and agreed on benchmarks. Based on the benchmarks, military schools will select candidates quickly, accurately in accordance with rules and regulations. They then make public the lists of the admitted students on the websites of the Ministry of National Defense’s Military Enrollment Committee, the military academies and schools.

Those on the benchmark and above should quickly complete their enrollment documents and send them to the military institution by post or registered online under the national enrollment data management system of the Ministry of Education and Training.
