Proactively respond to natural disasters during the 2025 High School Graduation Exam

The Minister of Education and Training sent a telegram to the Chairmen of the People's Committees of provinces/cities under the Central Government (through the Provincial Steering Committee for the 2025 High School Graduation Exam) about proactively responding to natural disasters during the exam period.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training , the forecast of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting shows that weather developments pose many risks, which can directly affect the preparation and organization of the 2025 exam.

To proactively respond to floods, minimize damage to people and property, and ensure the safe and serious organization of the Exam, the Ministryof Education and Training issued an Official Dispatch on June 21, requesting the Provincial Steering Committee for the 2025 Exam to direct relevant units to implement a number of contents.

First, proactively monitor and update weather information: Regularly and closely monitor the developments of floods, storms, hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions from hydro-meteorological forecast bulletins of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting and local authorities;

Maintain regular contact with the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue at all levels, relevant authorities, and local rescue forces to promptly respond in case of incidents.

Second, review, develop and deploy plans to ensure safety for the Exam with the 4 on-site motto (on-site command, on-site logistics, on-site means, on-site forces). In particular, note that, regarding physical facilities, urgently review, inspect and reinforce physical facilities of Examination sites, examination rooms, electricity, water and drainage systems to ensure safety and sufficient conditions for organizing the Exam in all weather conditions (heavy rain, hot sun);

Regarding relocation and contingency plans: Develop contingency plans to relocate files, documents, machinery, and equipment to safe places to avoid damage caused by flooding and landslides. At the same time, prepare backup examination locations and examination rooms in case the main examination location is affected by natural disasters;

Regarding the preservation of exam papers and test papers: Ensure absolute safety in the transportation and preservation of exam papers and test papers before, during and after the exam; avoid damage due to heavy rain, heat, fire and explosion.

Third, ensure safety for staff and candidates: Establish an information channel with parents and students to manage, guide and support candidates to move to the exam site safely, minimizing risks due to natural disasters.

There is a plan to organize food and accommodation support near the exam site for staff and candidates who live far away and have needs, especially staff and candidates who have to cross rivers, streams, ferries, roads at risk of flooding, landslides, etc. so that everyone can get to the exam site and take the exam safely.

Fourth, organize cleaning, disinfection, and epidemic prevention: Urgently clean and sanitize classrooms immediately after the storm/flood ends to ensure safety, cleanliness, disease prevention, and readiness for the organization of the Exam.

The Ministry of Education and Training requires the Provincial Steering Committee for the 2025 Exam to continuously update information, summarize damages (if any), develop a handling plan, and report promptly.
