Under police protection, the materials will be transported to each testing district, involving about 400 personnel including district receiving officers, related staff, and central coordinators. The question papers and answer sheets moved to the testing districts will be stored in separate secure locations until the day before the exam, on the 2nd of next month. They are scheduled to be delivered to each testing site on the morning of the exam day.
The Ministry of Education requested, "For safe and smooth transportation of the test materials, drivers should actively cooperate with police instructions and guidance, such as refraining from cutting between vehicles on the road."
