Candidates who fainted at the exam site in Vinh City can be considered for special graduation if they meet the requirements.

Accordingly, the candidate was a former student at Vinh University High School for the Gifted. Yesterday afternoon (August 9), before the Math exam - the second exam subject, this candidate fainted when he arrived at the exam location (at 1:45 p.m.). Immediately after that, the exam council called an ambulance to take this candidate to the hospital.

In this case, according to Mr. Thai Van Thanh - Director of the Department of Education and Training, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Steering Committee for the 2020 High School Graduation Exam in Nghe An province: If a candidate is sick or has an unexpected accident before or during the exam day, special consideration may be given. However, it must be done in accordance with the 2020 High School Graduation Exam Regulations.

Accordingly, candidates who have taken at least one exam but then cannot continue taking the exam due to an accident, illness or unexpected event will be considered for special high school graduation if their exam score is 5 or higher, their 12th grade ranking is average and their conduct is good or better.

For candidates who are sick or have an emergency 10 days before the exam date, to be considered for special consideration, their academic performance and conduct for the entire 12th grade year must be ranked as good or better. Candidates must submit a dossier including hospital admission and discharge records issued by a hospital at the district level or higher (if they have an accident or are sick) or confirmation from the People's Committee of the commune where they reside (if there is a special emergency); a request for special consideration for high school graduation from the high school where they registered to take the exam and documents proving their academic performance and conduct in grade 12.

Regarding procedures, candidates must submit special application documents to the principal of the place where they registered to take the exam no later than 7 days after the last exam session (afternoon of August 10).

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training also considers special high school graduation for athletes who have achieved excellent results in national or international sports competitions, have training time abroad or participate in international sports competitions that coincide with the time of the high school graduation exam.
