Can Tho City is mobilizing nearly 3,600 young volunteers for its 'Digital Support for Exams' initiative, aiming to provide comprehensive assistance to over 34,200 high school students during their upcoming final examinations.
This year's program marks the first time the city is significantly leveraging digital technology. The Can Tho City Youth Union and the Vietnam Student Association of Can Tho City are distributing 50,000 bottles of water and other essential items like hats, t-shirts, banners, and flags to support 80 examination sites. Beyond direct on-site support, the program features interactive podcasts and livestreams offering psychological counseling, revision methods, and study tips to boost students' confidence.
Do Phuoc Qui, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Student Association of Can Tho City, stated that volunteer teams at each exam site will assist students with special needs in reaching their venues and provide refreshments. "We are also coordinating with healthcare facilities, local authorities, and law enforcement to ensure safety and promptly handle any emerging situations during the exams," Qui added.
To ensure accessibility, the city has strategically located exam sites to minimize travel distances, with most students not having to travel more than 15km. For students facing financial difficulties, local authorities are arranging free transportation, accommodation, and meals. The city has established 80 main exam sites with 1,515 rooms, along with waiting areas and backup locations, all ensuring security, safety, and convenient access.
