The 10^th grade entrance exams for the 2021 – 2022 academic year took place from June 15 – 17 in a smooth and strict manner in face of the unpredictable development of COVID-19.

As observed, all of the exam takers strictly complied with the mandatory COVID-19 prevention and control regulations such as wearing face coverings, and have their body temperatures checked and their hands disinfected as well.

According to the preliminary assessment of the municipal Department of Education and Training, exam preparations were made thoughtfully and carefully in all aspects, from the issuance of the test plans, the exam regulations and clear guidance documents, to good physical facilities in service for exams.

Simultaneously, the Department effectively partnered with the Department of Health to conduct COVID-19 testing on all candidates and personnel staffing exam venues, and closely coordinated with other competent local agencies so as to ensure the great success of this important educational event.

“Now, it can be said that the exams went smoothly as initially planned. The exams were carried out in accordance with the issued regulations, and no unusual incidents occurred at exam venues. With regard to making exam questions, we affirm that the exam questions are differentiated and totally suitable for reality. The educational staff are on track in marking the tests”, said Mai Tan Linh, Deputy Director of the municipal Department of Education and Training.
