- "Stepping Forward in the Exam Season" - Accompanying and guiding students before the 2026 college entrance exam season.
- Continuing to pursue dreams in a special exam room.
- Nearly 19,700 students in Ca Mau province are taking the 2026 High School Graduation Examination.
Proactively prepare and be ready to provide support.
The "Supporting Students During Exam Season" campaign in 2026 holds immense significance as it marks the first time the program has been organized on a larger geographical scale and with a greater number of candidates.
Ms. Nguyen Trang Anh Thu, Deputy Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Youth Union, said: The Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union and the Secretariat of the Vietnam Student Association of the province proactively began preparations starting in April with a series of well-organized activities throughout the period before, during, and after the exam.
"We hope that this timely and responsible support will provide moral support, giving candidates and their parents peace of mind and confidence during the exam, helping them achieve the best possible results," emphasized Ms. Nguyen Trang Anh Thu.
The atmosphere was lively with volunteers participating in the "Supporting Students During Exams" program.
The entire province has established 56 "Exam Support" teams with over 1,000 volunteers participating. The Organizing Committee has mobilized 300 scholarships, 300,000 bottles of mineral water, 5,000 raincoats, 3,000 portions of pastries, and many other essential items, with a total value of over 500 million VND.
To help students prepare themselves mentally, the Provincial Youth Union Standing Committee, in coordination with the Ho Chi Minh City Career Guidance Center, successfully organized 35 career counseling and orientation programs, as well as a live online stream on the evening of June 5th to answer questions and equip students with the necessary skills before the important exam.
Practical support models
In this year's exam support campaign, Binh Duong University's Ca Mau branch mobilized nearly 90 students and faculty members to provide assistance at 8 coordinated exam locations. The volunteers continued to effectively maintain traditional initiatives such as: "Free phone calls," "Free motorbike taxis," baggage storage, and providing free bottled water and study materials.
Mr. Doai Phuoc Hieu, Deputy Secretary of the Youth Union of Binh Duong University, Ca Mau branch, shared: “The volunteers all proactively arrived at 6:30 AM or earlier than the exam schedule to support the candidates. The entire team was always ready to provide the best support to the candidates.”
In addition to providing support, the volunteers also brought smiles, creating a comfortable and confident atmosphere for the candidates participating in this important exam.
The team responsible for safeguarding belongings at Examination Point 001, located at Phan Ngoc Hien Specialized High School (An Xuyen Ward), wrapped each mobile phone along with its information to ensure the device's safety and prevent loss.
Beyond providing external support, this year's "Supporting Students During Exams" campaign also provided timely assistance to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Typically, the Youth Union of the Party agencies in Ca Mau province directly awarded 4 scholarships (each worth 500,000 VND).
The Youth Union of the Provincial Party Agencies awarded a scholarship to support Le Thi Ngoc Trinh (Class 12G, Ly Van Lam Secondary and High School).
Receiving this support, Le Thi Ngoc Trinh (Class 12G, Ly Van Lam Secondary and High School) was moved: “The care from the teachers and benefactors gives me more motivation to strive for high results. After this exam, I will save the scholarship money to prepare for my studies at university, helping my family worry less about the expenses.”
Teacher Tran Nguyen Hoang Phuong Vy (Nguyen Viet Khai High School) checks the list and waits for information to be ready to support the students.
Besides the volunteers' blue uniforms, the dedication of the teachers was also a great source of encouragement. At Examination Point No. 3 (Ca Mau High School, An Xuyen Ward), the image of teacher Tran Nguyen Hoang Phuong Vy (Nguyen Viet Khai High School) checking and verifying the attendance and exam status of each of the 130 students moved many parents.
Only when the examination hall gates close and the students have safely entered the examination rooms can the examiners breathe a sigh of relief.
The first candidate to leave Examination Point 001, located at Phan Ngoc Hien Specialized High School (An Xuyen Ward), was filled with excitement amidst the cheers of volunteers.
Besides the pressure of the exams, students also face the challenge of sudden early-season rains. As soon as the weather turns bad, the "blue-uniformed soldiers" promptly unfurl umbrellas and hand out raincoats to students and parents.
Ms. Luong Ngoc Lua (Phong Luu 2 hamlet, Tan Hung commune) emotionally shared: “I was watching my child finish the exam, but it was raining heavily. The volunteers proactively brought raincoats and drinking water right to my place. This activity is so practical, showing thoughtful care for the health of both parents and students.”
Handing out raincoats, hastily opening umbrellas at the school gate, and offering words of encouragement and support helped alleviate parents' anxieties on exam day.

For the volunteers, accompanying the students during these special days is also a memorable experience.
Ms. Ma My Khanh, Secretary of the Youth Union of Hamlet 6, An Xuyen Ward, shared: "Every exam season, we want to contribute our youthful energy to inspire and motivate our peers to overcome challenges."
"Despite various unforeseen situations, this will be an unforgettable memory of my youth," shared Ly Duy Linh (a volunteer at the Ho Thi Ky High School exam center, An Xuyen ward).
Encouraging the "Exam Support Teams"
On the first day of the exam support campaign, the Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ca Mau province and Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union, Pham Tuan Tai, visited, encouraged, and presented gifts to the youth volunteer teams at schools in Vinh Loi commune, Hoa Binh commune, and Bac Lieu ward.
Ms. Tran Thi Bich Tuyen, Deputy Head of the Examination Center at Bac Lieu Specialized High School (Bac Lieu Ward), discussed the activities of the "Exam Support Team" with the Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union, Pham Tuan Tai.
At each location visited, Provincial Youth Union Secretary Pham Tuan Tai inquired about the activities and readiness of the volunteers; he also checked the arrangement of essential items to support candidates such as bottled water, face masks, raincoats, as well as the operation of the "Zero-Cost Phones," "Borrow Safekeeping for Candidates," and "Vehicle Support for Candidates" teams.
Provincial Youth Union Secretary Pham Tuan Tai requested that the "Exam Support Team" at Bac Lieu Specialized High School ensure they have all necessary supplies to provide timely assistance to candidates.

Acknowledging and commending the proactive and fearless spirit of the youth, the Provincial Youth Union Secretary reminded the teams to maintain their health in unpredictable weather conditions; actively coordinate with functional forces in traffic management and regulation, especially in promptly assisting candidates who encounter problems, thereby building a positive image for the youth of Ca Mau and contributing to the overall success of the 2026 High School Graduation Examination in the province.

Besides ensuring the security and safety of the exam, the image of police officers and soldiers wholeheartedly assisting and supporting candidates has left many positive impressions.
From early morning, at 35 examination sites across the province, volunteer youth teams from the Ca Mau Provincial Police simultaneously deployed, coordinating with local youth union members to carry out many practical activities. The officers distributed free drinking water; assisted in safekeeping phones and personal belongings; guided candidates through the procedures; and helped candidates with special circumstances.
At the Ho Thi Ky High School examination center (An Xuyen ward), a heartwarming story touched many hearts. Candidate Le Dang Khoa (Class 12A6, Ho Thi Ky High School), who had a broken leg and faced significant difficulties in moving around, received special assistance from the police force on duty ensuring security and order.
Dang Khoa said emotionally, "Initially, I was a little worried, but the police officers provided dedicated support, escorting me into and out of the exam room. It was also much easier for my father who came to pick me up."
Candidate Le Dang Khoa (Class 12A6, Ho Thi Ky High School) was assisted by police officers in leaving the examination hall.
For example, Ngo Diem My, a student at the exam center at Nguyen Viet Khai High School (Ly Van Lam Ward), suffered from a leg injury and was promptly assisted by the exam support team and traffic police, who safely escorted her to the exam room.
"I was very worried about the difficulties in getting around. I am very grateful for the police officers' support from the school gate all the way to the exam room," shared Ngo Diem My.
Officers from the Traffic Police Department (Provincial Police) assisted Ngo Diem My in arriving at the exam site at Nguyen Viet Khai High School (Ly Van Lam Ward) on time and safely.
Along with providing support, the traffic police force (of the Provincial Police) played a pivotal role in ensuring traffic order and safety at examination sites and on key routes.
Task forces were deployed early to regulate traffic, reroute vehicles, minimize congestion, and create favorable conditions for candidates to arrive at the examination sites on time.

In particular, during periods of unfavorable weather conditions, including heavy rain, traffic police used specialized vehicles to assist many candidates who encountered problems on their way to the exam centers.
Captain Bien Van Xe, Deputy Head of the General Staff Team, Traffic Police Department (Provincial Police), said: "We always maintain a large number of personnel on duty at examination sites and on key traffic routes. When we detect candidates facing difficulties or at risk of being late for the exam, our forces will promptly provide support using all appropriate measures to ensure they arrive at the examination site on time."
At the U Minh High School examination site (U Minh commune), the traffic police promptly used specialized vehicles to assist 5 candidates who encountered difficulties in traveling to the examination site.

This year's exam also saw many effective support models for candidates, such as at the exam site at Cai Doi Vam High School (Cai Doi Vam commune), where the "Free Drinking Water," "Free Phone Calls," and "Free Motorbike Taxi" models were implemented by the commune police force and volunteers.
Nguyen Tuong Vi, a student from Cai Doi Vam High School, excitedly said: “Thanks to the police officers’ support in transporting me, I arrived at the exam site safely and on time. Their encouragement helped me feel less stressed and much more confident.”
Nguyen Tuong Vi (Cai Doi Vam High School, Cai Doi Vam commune) received free motorbike rides from the commune's police officers to get to and from the exam site on time and safely.
The unity and shared responsibility among volunteers, social organizations, and schools, along with the supportive care of parents, are the positive energies that empower students to confidently overcome this important turning point in their lives.
