Enhanced security

To prepare for the 2023 high school graduation exam, Da Nang City mobilized 2,625 officials, teachers, and employees to participate in the exam. Of these, 164 were from the police force and 30 were from the health sector.

On June 27, the Steering Committee for the 2023 High School Graduation Exam in Da Nang inspected a number of exam sites, reviewing security, safety, and confidentiality... In particular, the delegation especially reviewed the operation of equipment related to security and supervision of the exam such as cameras recording and preserving exam questions, exam papers, and exam cabinets.

Checking at the exam site of Tran Phu High School and Tay Son Secondary School (Hai Chau District), Ms. Le Thi Bich Thuan, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City, noted: "The staff working on the exam must fulfill their responsibilities in the exam room. They must not be negligent or ignore any unusual manifestation of the candidates, even the smallest one. In particular, they must strictly comply with the exam regulations, must not unilaterally handle the problem and must report to the head of the exam site if any situation arises."

According to statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, at the end of the exam registration period, Ho Chi Minh City was absent 757 candidates. The leader of the Department of Education and Training said the number of absent candidates was similar to previous years.

In addition, according to Thanh Nien Newspaper reporters, in the afternoon when candidates completed exam registration procedures, at some exam sites there were changes in staff in the positions of deputy head of exam site and exam site secretary.

Regarding this information, Mr. Le Hoai Nam, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said that in the process of establishing the examination sites and the examination site management board, the department's staff had a wrong understanding of personnel regulations. Right in the early afternoon when the candidates started to complete the examination procedures, the Department of Education and Training discovered and promptly adjusted at some examination sites that the deputy head of the examination site and the examination site secretary were not the leaders and heads of professional groups of the high school.

According to the leaders of the examination sites, candidates still bring many personal items such as backpacks, handbags, and phones to the examination sites, causing the process of storing items to take a lot of time on the day of examination procedures. In this situation, Mr. Nam further instructed that candidates should only bring to the high school graduation examination sites items that are really necessary for the exam and the exam process. These items should be kept in a white, colorless shirt folder. Candidates should not bring other items such as backpacks or handbags to the examination sites.

According to Thanh Nien, at the examination site of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted (Cau Giay District, Hanoi), about 1 hour before the registration time for the graduation exam, many candidates were present. In front of the school gate, volunteer students, traffic police, traffic inspectors, and local police were present to direct traffic and ensure security and order.

On the afternoon of June 27, candidates listened to the regulations, in which the invigilators would remind and note the time to call candidates, the time to do the test, and the items that candidates are not allowed to bring into the exam room...
