Parents sleepy, hurriedly eating while waiting their children to take high-school entrance exam

Many parents sit in rows waiting for their children to take the high-shool entrance exam. Some even bring food to sit waiting for hours.

On this morning, the candidates have taken the subject of Literature in the entrance exam to Pedagogy Specialized High School, Hanoi Pedagogy University.

The entrance exam attracted pupils not only from Hanoi but aslo from other provinces.
Vu Thi Gioi (Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong city) said she had urged her son to get up early to go to the test site, so as to avoid traffic jams, late arrivals, health problems or lack of equipment. To get ready for this exam, she and her son took a car from Haiphong to Hanoi and rented a room two days ago.

“Our children’s learning is my family’s top priority”, she says “We do not put too much emphasis on the results of this test. What we want is to give our child the opportunity to experience and learn from his friends from other localities. After this exam, my son will come back home to prepare for the entrance exam to Tran Phu Specialized High School (Hai Phong).

Not only Gioi or Ngan worried about the exam, many parents have sat in rows for many hours to wait for children.
