This year, the province has 51,148 registered candidates, an increase of 7,419 students compared to 2025.

The examination process, spanning June 5-6, will require students to complete three subjects: Vietnamese literature, English, and Mathematics. Students applying to the specialized Lam Son High School will also take additional specialized subject exams on the afternoon of June 6. The provincial Department of Education and Training has implemented rigorous procedures to ensure fairness and prevent errors, emphasizing measures against high-tech cheating.

To support students, especially those from remote areas, the THPT Muong Lat school is offering free accommodation in its student dormitory. Principal Nguyen Nam Son stated that many students travel long distances, making overnight stays necessary. Local authorities, youth unions, and police have also mobilized over 100 free lodging options in nearby homes and guesthouses.

For the past few days, many prices have gone up, from plastic to raw materials. But our customers are mostly schoolchildren, so we can't raise prices arbitrarily. Therefore, we have to be more meticulous in managing expenses.

Preparations include ensuring security, fire safety, and utilities at all 91 examination boards, which comprise 2,185 testing rooms. Training for invigilators on exam regulations and duties has been completed. The Department of Education and Training is collaborating with police, health services, and volunteer youth to assist students throughout the examination period.
