Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, with a tradition of more than 50 years, has continuously achieved many high achievements in teaching and learning, and is the leading flag in the education sector of Nghe An and the whole country. The presence of the Deputy Prime Minister as well as the provincial leaders is an honor, pride as well as bringing excitement to the new school year for teachers and students of the school.

Nguyen Duy Trinh High School is also a school with many high achievements in teaching and learning. Notably, this is the school where comrade Vuong Dinh Hue studied during his youth.

He beat the drum to open the new school year at these two schools and, together with provincial leaders, presented gifts, encouraging teachers and students to continue their efforts in teaching and learning.

Loopholes in the management of private medical facilities

On the morning of September 7, the Department of Culture and Society, Provincial People's Council had a meeting with Vinh City People's Committee on the management of private medical practice in the area. Previously, on September 6, the Department of Culture and Society conducted field monitoring and found many discrepancies between the data provided by the Department of Health and the City People's Committee.

It is worth noting that many establishments were closed when the inspection team arrived, and at some establishments the inspection team still failed to ensure the conditions of equipment, licenses and personnel. Many pharmacies hired people who did not meet the requirements of certificates and degrees.

The Director of Nghe An Department of Health, who is also a member of the provincial Culture and Social Affairs Committee, raised the issue of whether there was protection for private medical facilities in the city. The City People's Committee affirmed that there was only a situation where professional staff leaked information about inspection and supervision activities and pledged to handle it strictly.

In fact, the situation of lax management of private medical facilities not only occurs in the city but is also quite common in districts, especially in remote areas.

Teachers, parents and students worry about changes in the 2017 national high school exam plan

On the afternoon of September 8, the Ministry of Education and Training officially announced the Draft plan for the 2017 High School Graduation Exam and University and College Admissions. With less than 10 months left until the exam, the information about the change in the exam plan has made many teachers, parents and students worried.

Candidates taking the exam at the 2016 National High School Exam

The change in the test format (from essay to multiple choice, except for Literature which is still essay-based) is considered the biggest change. Some say that 90 minutes to answer 50 questions is too little time, putting pressure on students. Especially for candidates choosing group D, who often do the test in a confident and careful manner, they will have more difficulty than candidates in the natural sciences group.

The 2016 National High School Exam was assessed as a great success, the organization and difficulty of the exam were considered suitable for candidates but still had good classification. Therefore, the anxiety of teachers, parents and students about the above changes is understandable. Most people think that the changes should have a roadmap, should not be implemented suddenly, creating psychological pressure for society.

Detect dirty moon cake oven

At around 10:15 a.m. on September 9, at No. 12 Nguyen Cong Tru Street (Vinh City), Team 4, Environmental Police Department of Nghe An Provincial Police in coordination with Quang Trung Ward Police caught red-handed a moon cake production facility owned by Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong Ly (born in 1979), residing in Hung Dong Commune, Vinh City, using food additives of unknown origin to produce moon cakes.

Additives of unknown origin.

The Environmental Police Department has drawn up a record and seized all the evidence including: 374 finished cakes (total weight 83 kg), 10 kg of pumpkin jam, 34 kg of moon cake wrappers, 2 plastic cans containing yellow liquid of unknown origin, along with many raw materials, additives, and machinery.

Consumers are advised to be careful when choosing to buy mooncake products and should look for reputable businesses with clear origins to protect the health of their families and themselves.

Many streets in Vinh city are deeply flooded due to heavy rain.

Heavy rain on the night of September 10 caused many city streets to be deeply flooded, obstructing traffic and affecting the lives of many households.

On many roads it is difficult to distinguish between the sidewalk and the roadway.

The most affected routes are: Dang Thai Than, Ngu Hai, Dinh Cong Trang, Phan Chu Trinh, Dao Tan, Tran Phu,... In many sections, the water was so flooded that it was impossible to distinguish between the sidewalk and the roadway, the water reached the knees of cyclists and motorbike riders, many vehicles stalled and had to be pushed.

On Ngu Hai Street, many cars parked on the sidewalk were flooded up to their wheels. Some cars had stalled and were lined up on the street. The water level was so high that every time a car passed by, it created a “wave” that hit the houses of people living on the street. Many people had to use their hands to scoop trash out of the drains and lift up manhole covers to let the water drain faster.

On the morning of September 11, the water had receded and traffic on the city's roads returned to normal.
