Today, June 6, more than 76,000 candidates in Ho Chi Minh City took the 10th grade literature exam. At Rang Dong Secondary School, many candidates arrived at the exam site at 6:30, while teachers arrived even earlier to take attendance and assist students if necessary. A special thing was that not only homeroom teachers participated in the team, but also principals and vice principals "jumped in", making students excited.

Among them, Ms. Dinh Thi Thien An, Principal of Nguyen Van Be Secondary School, held a hashtag filled with positive wishes, such as "Take a deep breath/Write firmly/Get a high score", and greeted each new candidate who had just arrived at the exam site with a warm smile, then guided them to the roll call area. This has been a tradition of the school for many years to encourage students' spirit, helping them feel calm and comfortable, according to Ms. An.

Standing next to Ms. An, many teachers at the school also held hashtags with messages like, "The whole world believes you can do it", "Touch the star and get a score of 10"... to reassure the candidates. Some teachers even wore class shirts as a way to send a message saying, "Teachers always accompany and trust you, from class activities to this important moment".

Meanwhile, at the roll call tables, after marking the names of the candidates present, the teachers also continuously shouted: "Remember to do well on the test", "Be careful when doing the test"...

Also at this testing site, teachers at Yen The Secondary School were always worried, busily calling parents of students who had not arrived before 7am. Some students could not be contacted, some students had the wrong test time, making teachers restless. The teachers said they had arrived at the testing site at 5:45am and were on duty until the roll call was complete before feeling relieved and reassured.

"During these important exam days, the students are under pressure and the teachers are also very worried. Last night I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep. During the exam days, if any student hadn't arrived, we would keep waiting and worrying, afraid that if they overslept or had something unexpected happen, they would miss out on 9 years of studying," said Mr. Le Viet Hai, homeroom teacher of grade 9 at Yen The Secondary School.

According to Mr. Tran Xuan Thuy, a teacher at Rang Dong Secondary School, with 292 students taking the exam at this testing site, teachers must ensure that each student is counted. To do this, Mr. Thuy said that the contact information list was carefully prepared with up to 3 phone numbers of the students, their parents, and even their neighbors. "This preparation is to prevent unexpected situations or risks," the male teacher shared.
