Except for the management and distribution of test papers, inspection leaders and logistics personnel for the final examination of this year, the remaining teachers were organized into 15 invigilation groups and performed about 100 exams. The invigilation task means that each group will invigilate about 7 exams, and there will be almost no breaks during the exam. During the invigilation period, you are not allowed to talk, use mobile phones, or read books. In fact, long-term invigilation is more difficult than attending class.

In previous years, it took a long time, once as long as 15 days, and was concentrated in urban schools for training. In recent years, with the popularization of the Internet, continuing education training has been broken down into various online trainings (such as national training projects) and township training (such as information technology training). However, they still have to go to urban areas for several days of training and take exams.
