Youth volunteers line up to help administer high school exams
The youth volunteer tasks are to help motivate and guide the students who are taking the exams June 22-24 so that they can perform at their best. |
An estimated 860,000 high school students nationwide are setting for the exams. |
Many students sitting for the exams (and parents in some cases) cannot hide their anxiety. |
The youth volunteers take on the task of trying to help ease the pressures on the test takers. |
Volunteers help guide traffic, provide free water and counselling, and so on. |

The efforts of the volunteers help put many students and their parents more at ease. |
The blue shirts are always present at congested hot spots near the test sites. |
The privacy of test scores is a time-honoured tradition at the exams. |
