Ethnic minority students have little contact, so when they return to the main school, they will be trained to be independent, especially helping them have conditions to study subjects such as English and IT more conveniently. Photo: Duc Anh |

Mr. Tran Huu Truong - Principal of Dooc May Primary School said: "We also connect with a number of organizations and volunteer groups to donate enough blankets, mattresses, and warm clothes for students during the cold winter. Currently, more than 10 teachers in remote areas stay at the school to teach. When bringing students from remote locations back, the teachers' kitchen also becomes the students' kitchen. They take care of their meals, take care of and manage the children to create peace of mind and trust from their parents." Photo: Duc Anh |
