Localities take measures to ensure safe high school exam
Implementing directions of PM Phuc and the Ministry of Education and Training, localities are carrying out measures to ensure a safe national high school graduation exam, except in regions with ongoing outbreaks, such as Da Nang and Quang Nam.
The national high school graduation exam is scheduled for August 8-10 across the country.
Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee Nguyen Van Chuong said though the northern province is in the low-risk group, preventive measures against COVID-19 have been strictly implemented. The education sector has closely coordinated with the health sector to arrange human resources and facilities to ensure safety for students and supervisors.
