- A female student in Da Nang, Vietnam, mistakenly went to the wrong exam center for her national high school graduation exam.
- Local police provided an escort on a specialized vehicle, covering approximately 30km to get her to the correct location on time.
- Similar incidents occurred in Quang Ngai and An Giang provinces, where police assisted other students who overslept or were late.
A female student in Da Nang narrowly avoided missing her national high school graduation exam thanks to the swift intervention of local police. The student, identified as N.T.T., arrived at the exam site at Nguyen Thai Binh High School on the morning of June 11, only to discover she was at the wrong location.
Her actual exam center was at Nguyen Du Secondary School, about 30 kilometers away. Upon receiving the report from the exam board, police from Thang An Commune immediately dispatched officers. They coordinated with traffic police to use a specialized vehicle to transport the student to Nguyen Du Secondary School, ensuring she arrived by 7:20 AM, just in time for the Vฤn exam.
Immediately after receiving the information from the exam site, the Thang An Commune Police quickly dispatched forces, coordinated with traffic police to use a specialized vehicle, and timely transported the student to the correct exam site at Nguyen Du Secondary School with a distance of about 30km.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thanh Van, head of the Thang An Commune Police, the student was a free candidate this year and had registered at the Nguyen Thai Binh High School's application reception point. This led her to mistakenly believe that was her exam venue. Police suspect she may not have visited the actual exam site for orientation the previous day, which would have clarified the location.
This incident highlights the pressure students face during exams. In separate events on the same day, police in Quang Ngai and An Giang provinces also provided timely assistance to students. In Quang Ngai, traffic police woke a sleeping student and rushed her to her exam center. In An Giang, police helped another student who had overslept after staying up late studying, ensuring they arrived on time.
This year she is a free candidate, registered for the exam at the application reception point of Nguyen Thai Binh High School, so she thought she was taking the exam at this school, not carefully reading the exam card about the exam location.
