Police came to the house to persuade and take candidate Dan Lai to the 10th grade exam.

The examination council of Muong Qua High School (Con Cuong) is quite special when the recruitment area only includes two communes, Mon Son and Luc Da. The school principal once confided: Every exam season, the school has to go to two secondary schools in the area to recruit students and encourage students to participate in the 10th grade entrance exam. In many special cases, teachers have to go to each house to encourage candidates to take the exam.

This year, on the first day candidates came to school to do the procedures, Le Van Cuong - student of Dan Lai was the only candidate absent.

The phone call from the Secretary of the Party Committee of Mon Son Commune to Major Lay Van Thin - Chief of Police of Mon Son Commune came at 5:00 a.m. this morning, at that time, just over 2 hours before the candidates entered the exam room. Upon receiving information that candidate Le Van Cuong was absent, Major Lay Van Thin directly called the school to verify the address.

Through discussion, it was learned that this candidate lives in Tan Son village, more than 10km from the school. The route is not too far but the road is difficult. Cuong's situation is also quite special because his parents work far away, Cuong lives at home with his 60-year-old grandfather.

To make it to the exam on time, the Commune Police Chief and a police officer immediately went to the family's house to assess the situation. When they arrived, Cuong was still fast asleep.

Waking up to take the exam, this candidate was quite surprised and even refused to go. "I won't go to the exam. I'm afraid I won't pass, and my parents don't have money to send me to school, and they don't have money to buy a car," Major Thin recounted.

Talking further, Cuong confessed that he did not want to go to school but wanted to stay home and work on the farm or go to the South with his parents.

Because the chance of getting into a public school was very high and not wanting Cuong to miss the important exam, Major Lay Van Thin and the police officers did ideological work, encouraging Cuong to take the exam.

After being persuaded and persuaded, Le Van Cuong got up, cleaned himself, changed his clothes, and brought the necessary documents to the exam school. Along the way, the police also bought Cuong a portion of sticky rice so he could have breakfast.

It is known that during the exam days, the police forces in Mon Son commune accompanied the school to protect the exam site and direct traffic.

Particularly in border communes and mountainous areas, they also do ideological work, encouraging students to review their lessons and take exams.

Major Lay Van Thin also shared: I am also an ethnic minority, growing up in the mountainous district of Tuong Duong. Therefore, I understand the thoughts, feelings and difficulties of students in the mountainous areas. From my heart, I hope that all of them can go to school, at least to graduate from grade 12 to gain knowledge and skills before going to work./.
