Adjust the examination area.
Regarding gifted student competitions, before the implementation of the two-tiered local government system, in addition to the national gifted student competition conducted according to the Ministry's general guidelines, Nghe An also organized a provincial-level gifted student competition, and some localities organized a grassroots-level (district, city, town) gifted student competition. During implementation, Nghe An province divided the teams into two groups, Group A and Group B, to differentiate schools in urban areas, lowland areas, mountainous districts, private schools, and continuing education centers.
Implementing a two-tiered local government system, after abolishing the district level, the Nghe An Department of Education and Training has issued new regulations on selection exams.excellent studentsAccordingly, the regulations stipulate that Nghe An province will organize one provincial-level excellent student competition per year for 9th and 12th grade students.
