In the spirit of assigning tasks to ensure 6 clarity: "clear people, clear work, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear time, clear results", "close direction, thorough organization and implementation", the Prime Minister directed the Ministry of Education and Training, ministries, agencies and localities to focus on maximum support for accommodation, travel, exam organization, creating conditions for all candidates to have the best conditions to participate in the exam, especially students in remote areas, border areas, islands, students with difficulties and when encountering sudden, unexpected problems.
