Due to the small number of candidates, Nghe An did not establish an examination council in the second round, so it was planned to send candidates to take the second round of the exam in Hanoi. However, the Covid-19 epidemic broke out and Hanoi implemented Directive 16, so the above plan could not be implemented.
Discussing further on this issue, Mr. Dao Cong Loi - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training said: "To ensure the rights of the candidates, the Department has sent a document requesting that the above 3 candidates be allowed to take the exam at the Bac Giang Provincial Examination Council. Currently, the Department has also assigned centers and schools to encourage, review and support candidates to take the second exam in Bac Giang on August 6-7."
Of the 3 candidates taking the exam, 2 are from disadvantaged backgrounds. At the Vinh City Continuing Education Center, Ms. Dang Thi Tu Linh - Director of the Center said: the case of the candidate taking the second round of the center's exam was due to missing the Combined subject exam. This student's situation is very difficult, she is an orphan, but she always tries and makes an effort to study. She was allowed to reserve the results of the 2 subjects Literature and Math from the first round of the exam and only took the Social Science Combined exam in this second round.
In order to facilitate the candidate, in recent days the center has also allocated funds, called for support from benefactors and supported the entire cost of going to Bac Giang to take the exam for this student. Today (August 3), the school's teachers took the student for a SARS-CoV-2 test to ensure he meets the health requirements.
Meanwhile, at the High School for Gifted Sports, Mr. Hoang Minh Thanh - Principal said: the candidate taking the second round of the school's exam was once an athlete. Previously, after completing 2 subjects of Math and Literature, this student was sick so he did not continue taking the remaining subjects: According to regulations, he can apply for special recognition of High School Graduation. However, he wants to take the second round of the exam to get the score for university admission.

However, through the connection of the Department of Education and Training, all 3 candidates will go together to Bac Giang to take the second round of the High School Graduation Exam and the parents of the candidates in Vinh city will accompany and take the candidates to the exam.
