Are members in the national team for the Olympiad competition exempted from taking Foreign Language paper in high school graduation assessment in Vietnam? Can students who have finished the high school program be granted an exception of graduation recognition in Vietnam?
The National High School Exam will be held soon and I am a member of the National Math Olympiad team.
