On the afternoon of June 29, Dak Lak Department of Education and Training summoned all examination site leaders to a meeting.

Immediately after the meeting ended, VOV reporter had a quick conversation with Mr. Pham Dang Khoa, Director of Dak Lak Department of Education and Training, about the actual number of erroneous questions, which he said (in a conversation with reporters on the afternoon of June 28) that the department will continue to review to clarify.

However, after the internal meeting with the test site leaders this afternoon, Mr. Khoa said that the meeting had nothing to do with the Math exam error incident, but was to deploy the next tasks. He also did not answer the reporter's question about what the next task was.

The meeting with all the test site leaders took place internally.

Regarding the consideration of individual and collective responsibility for errors in printing and copying exam papers, Mr. Khoa said that this will be considered later. “It is not that we do not hold those people accountable. In the future, whoever did what, at which stage, there was an error, we must consider responsibility. That is the direction of the National Examination Steering Committee,” Mr. Khoa affirmed.

When the reporter asked for an official report from the Department or the provincial exam steering committee about the error in the exam to be sent to the Ministry of Education and Training or the National Exam Steering Committee, Mr. Khoa refused. “No. This is just a discussion about the same content as yesterday afternoon (at the press conference). That's all the discussion, the way to handle it is enough,” Mr. Khoa said.

At the press conference on the afternoon of June 28, reporters cited some exam papers with much more serious errors than the information from the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training, which was only 1 to 3 questions/test paper were blurred.
