Mr. Nguyen Khac Diep, Chairman of the Examination Council of Nguyen Sy Sach High School, said: This year, the Nghe An Department of Education and Training has decided not to hold an opening ceremony. So yesterday (June 5), the Examination Council had the candidates thoroughly study the examination regulations, as well as do a good job of ideological work. The Examination Council clearly informed the examination officers: The people's thoughts are very relaxed, they want the examination to be fair. Therefore, the examination officers are required to be strict and strictly implement the examination regulations.

This year, the entrance exam continues with a combination of subjects (History, Chemistry, English), so the Examination Council of Nguyen Sy Sach High School had to mobilize 10 more junior high school teachers to work as exam invigilators... Similarly, the Examination Council of Kim Lien High School (Nam Dan district) also had to request the district to arrange 11 more junior high school teachers to serve as exam invigilators.

The enrollment target is 420 students. The "competition" rate to enter the school is the highest in Nam Dan district. This morning, 2 candidates were absent from the exam.

In Nam Dan district early this morning, the power line system had a problem, all communes and towns in the district lost power.
