In order to tighten and prevent negative phenomena occurring in the 2018 national high school exam, a number of new solutions, mainly technical, have been proposed at all stages. Accordingly, there are cameras to monitor the entire process of using and preserving exam papers 24/7. Independent candidates are not allowed to take the exam separately as in the previous year, but are arranged to take the exam together with candidates studying the high school education program.

Regarding this issue, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department requested press and radio agencies to focus on disseminating information on preparations for the 2019 exams in the province; career orientation for students applying for admission to universities and colleges in 2019, so that people, parents and students can clearly and deeply understand the exam.

Press agencies in the province continue to publish articles mentioning difficulties and obstacles, and at the same time recommend solutions in the process of implementing Resolution No. 18 of the Party Central Committee on innovation and reorganization of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently.

However, there are still limitations such as some press agencies reporting and writing articles that are biased; the content and frequency of prominent negative news and articles, and dense law violations while promoting new models, good practices, and setting good examples of good people and good deeds account for a low percentage. Therefore, the representative of the provincial propaganda agency suggested that press agencies should also select and consider when posting news and articles on publications. Thereby ensuring harmony and appropriateness in propaganda work and guiding public opinion.
