(Baonghean.vn) - Morning of October 8,Candidates from 6 provinces in the North Central region (from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue)returned to Vinh City to take the Korean language exam, looking for opportunities to work in Korea.
 |
The 11th Korean language test for recruiting workers under the EPS program took place over 2 days, October 8-9, at 4 testing locations and divided into 4 shifts. Candidates from the North Central region, from Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien Hue, took the test at the Vinh University of Technical Education (Vinh City, Nghe An). |
 |
With over 7,400 candidates, Vinh University of Technical Education is the testing site with the largest number of candidates in the country. Although the exam room only started at 9am, there were already many candidates present at the school from early morning. |
 |
The shops in front of the school gate were also packed with people. |
 |
Nearby households take advantage of the frontage to open a car parking service. |
 |
Candidates see the exam room map and registration number. |
 |
Take advantage of reviewing documents before the exam. |

Candidate Bui Thi Hoai (middle) from Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province is following the landlord to see the room. Ms. Hoai has an exam tomorrow but this morning she went to Vinh city early to see the exam questions of previous candidates. |
 |
Relatives of the candidates wait outside the school gate. If they pass the Korean language test, their children will have a great opportunity to work in Korea with an income much higher than the average income in the country (from 1,000 to 1,500 USD). |
 |
However, with more than 21,000 candidates nationwide taking the exam, selecting 2,100 positions, this exam is considered to be very "fiercely competitive", the competition rate is higher than the university entrance exam.

This is also an exam in which security and confidentiality are strictly implemented. The test creation and grading are carried out by the Korea Human Resources Development Agency; the test papers are kept confidential, transported from Korea to Vietnam and distributed in the exam room. In the exam area, there are magnetic gates, metal detectors to detect communication and electronic devices... combined with other inspection measures.

Like the previous National High School and University exams, this time for the Korean language exam, Vinh University of Technical Education also established a team of young volunteers to keep things and provide free drinking water. |
