The program 'Loving briefcase' gives 250 gifts to students in disadvantaged areas of Con Cuong district

On the morning of August 28, at Thach Ngan Primary School, Con Cuong district, the Department and Trade Union of Education -Provincial Association for Promotion of Educationcooperate with the School Equipment and Books Joint Stock Company to organize the "Loving Schoolbag" Program for the 2023-2024 school year.

Also attending were Mr. Vo Van Mai - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training, Nguyen Thanh Hien - Chairman of the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Education and representatives of relevant departments and offices.

This is the first time the “Loving Schoolbag” program has been implemented in Nghe An province. Through it, the organizing committee has presented 250 gifts, each consisting of 1 schoolbag, 20 notebooks and school supplies to 250 students from primary and secondary schools in Thach Ngan commune, Con Cuong district. The total value of the gifts is nearly 135 million VND. In addition, the program also presented 10 million VND to Thach Ngan Kindergarten.

Thach Ngan is a particularly difficult commune, in which ethnic minority students account for nearly 90%. Notably, there are more than 100 Dan Lai ethnic students from Mon Son commune who have resettled and lived in Thach Ngan.

Due to difficult conditions, the number of poor students in schools is quite high. Before the new school year, many students still do not have enough books, notebooks and school supplies.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Dang Van Hai - Chairman of the Education Trade Union said: For many years, the education sector of the province has always paid attention to ethnic minority students and students in remote and disadvantaged districts. In addition to paying attention to policies for students and teachers in mountainous areas, and school facilities, the sector also gives priority to students in disadvantaged areas.

This is also the reason why, in the first year of implementation, the program "Loving Couple" chose an area with many difficulties and shortages.

This is a meaningful gift that the education sector and related units want to send to students on the occasion of preparing to enter the new school year. At the same time, it is also a practical activity to respond to Nghe An Education Promotion Month 2023.

Through this program, the implementers hope to promptly support children with adequate books and school supplies before the new school year begins. At the same time, it will help children have more motivation to strive, overcome difficulties, and achieve many achievements in their studies.

Previously, implementing the Project "Building a learning society in the period of 2021 - 2030 in Nghe An province"; Nghe An Education Trade Union in coordination with Nghe An Provincial Association for Promotion of Education developed a Plan to implement the Program "Loving Schoolbag" for students in especially difficult circumstances in Nghe An province in the period of 2023 - 2028.

The purpose of the program is to support, encourage, and help students with especially difficult circumstances in Nghe An province, helping them overcome difficulties in life to study and practice with peace of mind. Through the program, it also aims to build an equal and happy educational environment, contributing to improving the quality of comprehensive education in the whole province.

The program will be implemented from 2023 to 2028 with the main subjects being students with especially difficult circumstances at primary, secondary and high school levels in Nghe An province. It is expected that each year, the program will award at least 250 gifts to students, with each gift worth from 500,000 to 800,000 VND./.
