In Nghe An province, the 2026-2027 10th grade entrance exam saw 49,372 out of 56,504 9th-grade students register to take the exam, an increase of nearly 10,000 candidates compared to the previous year, at 69 examination centers located in public schools throughout the province. The number of candidates and parents flocking to the examination sites increased significantly, especially during the first and last hours of the exam, leading to increased traffic pressure. In response, the Nghe An Provincial Police's traffic police force was reinforced to manage traffic flow and ensure safety and smooth operation of the exam.
From early morning, traffic police from Nghe An province were present at many examination sites to organize traffic flow and guide parents in safely dropping off and picking up students before the first exam of the 10th grade entrance exam.
