At noon on June 26, at the Que Phong High School exam site (Nghe An), hundreds of free meals were prepared by volunteers and given to candidates after finishing the Literature exam.
With the characteristics of harsh terrain and difficult transportation, most of the candidates taking the exam here are ethnic minorities, having to travel far or rent a room to take the exam. Understanding that situation, Que Phong District Youth Union launched the program "Supporting the competition season" with many practical activities, spreading the spirit of sharing and humanity.
From early morning, when the contestants entered the exam room, the volunteer team started work: picking up vegetables, gathering cooking, cooking rice. In just a few hours, 100 hot, nutritious meals were ready, delivered to the students right after leaving the exam room.
Mr. Lu Thanh Long - Secretary of Que Phong District Youth Union - shared: "Many students live far away, in difficult circumstances, going to the competition is a difficult journey. We want to send encouragement through each meal, so that they can confidently take the exam well.
In addition to meals, the "blue shirt motorbike taxi" team is also on duty in front of the school gate, ready to pick up and drop off candidates from far away or who encounter unexpected incidents on the way to the competition.
This activity is part of the "Supporting the competition season" campaign in 2025 launched by Nghe An Provincial Youth Union, mobilizing more than 140 teams with over 2,000 union members and young people to participate in support at competition locations across the province.
On the same morning, more than 40,000 candidates in Nghe An province entered the first exam of the 2025 high school graduation exam. Of which, Que Phong exam score alone had 637 candidates registered to take the exam, without recording any cases of violations of regulations.
Small meals, great affection - give strength to the journey to conquer the dreams of students in the highlands.
