9th grade graduates are selected based on their mastery of subjects and professional interest.

A five-year program to bring a modern appearance and a new environment to technical schools has recently been approved 
 
“My intention is for our youth to be competitive in the world in high-demand professions, and if necessary, to be a step ahead of others. To achieve this goal, we are bringing technical schools, which are the most important link in vocational education, to a new level of quality,”
 – said our President. 
 
For this purpose, starting from 2026, at least 100 technical schools will be fully renovated and equipped annually to meet the needs of technological and high-demand professions. 
 
The number of technical schools implementing advanced educational programs from countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, China, and Korea will be increased to 100. 
 
In 2026, the activities of the Advanced Vocational Skills Technical School and "Professions Town" will be launched in 7 regions, and in the remaining territories in 2027. 
 
While Advanced Vocational Skills Technical Schools will operate as a methodological and practical base for other technical schools in the region, "Professions Town" will serve to guide schoolchildren towards modern professions in fields such as construction, services, agriculture, industry, transport, and "green" energy.
