As the A/H1N1 flu continues to spread across the mainland, the Ministry of Education is taking precautions to make sure it doesn't disrupt exams for students.

Prior to their start, health authorities will completely disinfect the buildings where the tests will be administered. A monitoring and reporting system will ensure that if any of the students or staff show flu-like symptoms they are handled quickly. In regions with confirmed cases of A/H1N1 flu, every examinee and worker will have their body temperatures taken before each exam. Students found to have a fever will be taken to an isolated room for the exams.
