On June 10, in an exchange with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Dang Hong Cuong - Deputy Director of Lang Son Department of Education and Training said that the work of supporting candidates to participate in the 2026 high school graduation exam is being urgently implemented by units, schools and localities.
According to the summary of the Department of Education and Training of Lang Son province, before June 9, units had mobilized and arranged support for candidates with a total budget of more than 468 million VND.
In which, food support for 4,604 candidates with 4,518 meals, costing more than 223 million VND; accommodation and boarding support for 879 candidates with a cost of more than 32 million VND; lunch break support for 1,281 candidates, costing more than 9.4 million VND.

On June 9, from the source of business support, the Department of Education and Training of Lang Son province made a list of transferring funds to 23 units with a total amount of 100 million VND.
Mr. Dang Hong Cuong said that the guiding spirit of the education sector is not to let any candidates drop out of the exam due to difficult circumstances; not to let candidates lack food, lack accommodation, lack means of transportation to the exam site; and at the same time not to let exam sites be passive in handling arising situations.
At Dinh Lap Ethnic Minority Boarding Secondary and High School, this year there are 26 students participating in the high school graduation exam. The number of candidates is not large, but the care and preparation work has been meticulously implemented by the school from early on.
From June 1st, when the weather was scorching hot, the school's Youth Union organized a support program with cooling gifts for students.
Ms. Hoang Dieu Linh - Secretary of the School Youth Union said that regularly every day, students are supported with cool drinks such as yogurt, smoothies, and fruit juices.
According to Ms. Hoang Thi Ngoc - Principal of Dinh Lap Ethnic Minority Boarding Secondary and High School, most boarding students live far from their families, and all activities and studies take place within the school grounds. Therefore, the school tries to create a comfortable and fulfilling feeling for them as if they are in their own home.
From the evening of June 9th, besides fruit juice, the School Union organized additional night meals for students. Bowls of vermicelli, bowls of pho, and plates of fried rice were carefully prepared to help students have more health in the final sprint.
The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and socio-political organizations of Dinh Lap commune also supported 300,000 VND each for 5 students in particularly difficult circumstances.
At Loc Binh Ethnic Minority Boarding Secondary and High School, this year there are 59 students taking the high school graduation exam.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Hao - Principal of the school said that the Board of Directors and teachers have planned early to support students both materially and spiritually.
In particular, to ensure safety and health for students, the school arranged 2 cars to pick up and drop off students to the exam site, about 3 km from the school.
Centralized pick-up and drop-off helps students avoid erratic sun and rain, limiting the risk of being late due to incidents on the road.
