The 2026 high school graduation exam took place safely and conveniently, and there were no cases of violations of exam regulations in An Giang province.
Candidates are given maximum conditions to participate in the best exam. Among them, we cannot fail to mention those who silently support hundreds of free meals for students taking the exam.
Ms. Nguyen Tran My Thuyen (49 years old, residing in Rach Gia ward, An Giang province) said that this is the 4th year she and her friends have participated in supporting the exam season support program. Ms. Thuyen's group contributed together, cooking hundreds of free meals to serve candidates from the island to the mainland to take the exam.
This year, the group serves meals for 3 days from June 10-12, from the time candidates enter the exam until the exam is completed. About 200 meals for 3 sessions/day.
Ms. Thuyen shared: "A group of about 20 people, starting from 4 am, each person puts their hands and feet into work to be in time for the children to eat and go to the exam. Everyone does their best, happily, hoping that the children will have a delicious meal and have a good exam spirit, we are very happy.
Ms. Thuyen happily recounted, for example, in the morning they eat buns, at noon they eat braised chicken, stir-fried chicken with lemongrass and chili, and in the afternoon they eat broken rice. Three meals a day, three different dishes so that the children are not bored, have health, and are well-nourished to take the exam.
To do these supports is the joint effort of the Provincial Police Youth Committee, the Buddhist Church, philanthropists, brothers and sisters and friends in the hamlet. All stem from the desire to share and support students in difficult circumstances, to reduce the burden of food and living expenses, to focus on participating in the exam.
Ms. Thuyen recounted that from the first "Exam Season Support" program, it left a very big impression because many students came to the graduation exam but did not have enough funds. From then on, she coordinated with the Provincial Police Youth Committee to support them with transportation to hotels and free meals, so that they would no longer have to worry about expenses and focus on the exam.
Every day, to have delicious, hot, hygienic, and nutritious meals, Ms. Thuyen will make a menu in advance on that day, which dishes are, and then send it to the "Exam Season Support" group for teachers to know. Not only to grasp the menu but also to see if teachers have feedback that some students cannot eat or are allergic to any dish to calculate.
I feel sorry for the children away from home taking exams, if there are no relatives by my side, I can help them with anything I can help. Each person shares the work with each other, the cook, the boxer does it quickly, I consider the children as grandchildren in the family, so doing this is like making food for my family members," Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung (57 years old, volunteer group) shared.
Em Pham Thanh Lan, a candidate from Lai Son island, Kien Hai special zone shared: "Not only are we supported with pick-up and drop-off, guidance, and encouragement to be assured of the exam, but we also have free meals every day. The aunts and uncles cook rice for us to eat, it's very delicious, the food is hot, when we get home from the exam, we have rice to eat right away without any worries. We are taken care of by everyone like our families, so we feel very touched and motivated to take the exam better.
Lieutenant Colonel Truong Van Quoc, Head of the Youth Committee of An Giang Provincial Police, said: Meaningful activities to support the exam season show the spirit of responsibility and companionship of the youth of the Provincial Police towards students in coastal and island areas before the important exam. Not only deploying the "Volunteer Police Vehicle Team", the Youth Committee of An Giang Provincial Police also established many support teams to serve the exam, including: "Media Soldiers" Team; "Assault Team to ensure security and safety of the exam"; "Team to receive information to support candidates through the hotline". The teams are assigned specific tasks to support and guide candidates and their families throughout the 2026 High School Graduation Exam.
We coordinate with the Gieo Mam Yeu Thuong charity group to organize cooking and distributing free meals to candidates. Through this, students can be assured of being picked up and dropped off on time to the exam site, with hygienic and delicious meals without worrying about expenses. We accompany and support students, especially those from coastal and island areas, areas with many difficulties, to have conditions to participate in the exam safely and conveniently.
