Nghe An supports 47 high-scoring candidates with difficult circumstances

There are 47 students with high scores close to the scores of candidates commended by the Provincial People's Committee for their high achievements in the National High School Exams. These are candidates with especially difficult circumstances but have made great efforts to improve their studies and have excellent exam results, being admitted to many prestigious universities across the country.

Among these, Quynh Luu 1 High School is the school with the largest number of candidates being requested for support with 5 students. Among them, the candidate with the highest score is Do Thi Minh Hang with 27.4 points. Hang's situation is very difficult as her mother died of cancer and her father is in very poor health. Minh Hang has now been admitted to Hanoi Medical University. The remaining candidates have scores close to Hang's.

At the Provincial Ethnic Minority High School, there are 3 candidates with quite high scores but in difficult circumstances. Among them, there is a Mong candidate named Va Y Pa (Nhon Mai commune - Tuong Duong district) with 26.5 points (not including priority points). With this result, Va Y Pa was also admitted to the Faculty of Oriental Studies, the faculty with the highest standard score of the Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities (28.5 points). However, the school leaders said that after enrolling, due to the high tuition fee, Va Y Pa dropped out of school and transferred to the Faculty of Primary Education - Vinh University to receive a tuition fee reduction.

The list of students receiving support includes many examples of perseverance that are worthy of praise, such as Nguyen Thi Huyen Trang (Quy Chau High School), who, despite her difficult family circumstances, orphaned by both parents and being the eldest of three siblings, still scored 26.25 points in the National High School Exam. Previously, Trang also won first prize in the provincial excellent student contest in Geography.

Or like Nguyen Dinh Sinh, Dien Chau 3 High School, with an exam score of 25.75 points and is the valedictorian of Hanoi University of Industry. However, this candidate once intended to drop out of school because of his family's extremely difficult circumstances (no father, parents working far away). It is known that Hanoi University of Industry has decided to grant Sinh a 100% tuition scholarship for the entire course and will provide free dormitory accommodation for 4 years of study. At the same time, Sinh was arranged a part-time job at the school canteen to earn extra income each month. Previously, after completing the National High School Exam, Sinh worked part-time in Bac Ninh to earn extra income and cover his living expenses.

In particular, there is the case of Nguyen Huu Sang (Nam Yen Thanh High School), although he is from a poor family and is disabled, Sang still scored 26.25 points on the National High School Exam. This candidate was admitted to Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology but was later unable to enroll due to financial difficulties. He is currently enrolled in Phenikaa University after receiving tuition support from the school.

According to the plan of the Department of Education and Training, all these candidates will receive support from organizations and businesses through the program of National Excellent Student Commendation Ceremony for students with high scores in the 2019 National High School Exam. The gifts will be sent to the students after the program ends and the value depends on the amount of money donated by philanthropists and business organizations.

It is known that the current support amount for candidates up to this point is about 100 million VND.
