On the morning of August 20th, it was announced that the People's Committee of Nghe An province had decided to award certificates of merit from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, along with monetary rewards, to 75 students who achieved high scores in the 2025 high school graduation exam.

Among the list of high-scoring students this year in Nghe An province, many come from rural schools and disadvantaged schools.

The 75 students who received awards were divided into groups, including those who achieved total scores ranging from 33 to 38.75 points in their respective subject combinations.

This is the first year that awards are being given under the new regulations due to changes in the high school graduation exam implemented according to the 2018 General Education Program.
