(Baonghean.vn) - The 10th grade entrance exam in Nghe An took place during the hottest days of the year. Parents had to take their children to the exam and wait outside the exam area for them, which was also very difficult.

The 10th grade entrance exam had more than 36,000 candidates, and about the same number of parents taking their children to the exam. After taking the candidates to the exam locations, parents spread out around the exam area to find suitable locations to avoid the sun. The harsh weather made it very difficult for parents to take their children to the exam. Photo: Huy Thu

"Did you do your homework?" "How are your lessons?"... are the first questions parents ask when they see their children after the exam. By finding their children and taking them home early to eat and rest, parents have completed their duty of picking up and encouraging their children to do well in the 10th grade entrance exam.
