Previously, on June 26, candidates gathered at the examination sites to complete exam registration procedures and listen to the examination regulations.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, over 98% of candidates registered for the exam were present on the day of exam procedures.
Discussing the organization of the exam with localities, leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training emphasized plans to ensure safety for candidates, especially solutions to support disadvantaged students, so that students do not have to go to the exam site due to difficulties.
The Ministry of Education and Training also requested localities to have plans to respond to problems arising from erratic weather, natural disasters, epidemics, and the risk of food poisoning for candidates during the exam period.
As in previous exams, measures to prevent cheating, especially vigilance against sophisticated cheating devices, are being raised.
This year, testing sites must continue to comply with the organization of areas for storing candidates' bags and personal belongings at least 25m away from the testing area to limit the situation of having information-gathering devices from the testing room installed in candidates' belongings.
This year's exam regulations also stipulate more clearly what candidates can and cannot bring into the exam room. At the same time, they emphasize the importance of keeping exam papers confidential as exam papers are classified as top secret state secrets.
In Hanoi, according to the Department of Education and Training, the number of candidates taking the exam reached over 99%, with nearly 108,000 candidates. This is the locality with the largest number of candidates in the country with 196 exam locations. Hanoi mobilized over 15,000 officials and teachers to participate in serving the exam.
The 2024 high school graduation exam is also identified as an exam with three goals: to consider high school graduation, evaluate the quality of education in localities, and allow training institutions to use exam results for admission.
