Regarding Anh Son district, Comrade Thai Doan Quynh - Secretary of the District Youth Union - said that this year the locality did not organize meal distribution but instead borrowed more than 10 households to cook and serve over 120 meals right at the homes of local residents near the examination area. These are candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds or those living far from the examination location, whose names were surveyed and compiled by local Youth Union branches since the end of June.
