Nghe An teachers mobilize donations of computers and phones to support students in online learning

Before organizing online teaching, Kim Lien Secondary School (Nam Dan) conducted a survey and found that about 10-15% of students still did not have support tools to study, and most of them were students from poor and near-poor households.

The idea of ​​raising funds to buy computers and phones for students to study online was initiated by teacher Nguyen Vuong Linh - Principal of the school. Although this was an unprecedented action, it immediately received support from teachers throughout the school with the biggest goal being "All for dear students".

Sharing more about this, she said: This computer was given to me by my son after he graduated from university. Therefore, it not only has material value but also great spiritual meaning and I have kept it for a long time. However, now that the whole school is launching a fundraising campaign to support students, I am very happy to share my computer with my students.

Previously, the call for “anyone with money, donate money, anyone with computers, smartphones, iPads... whether new or old, please support students in need” received the attention of many parents. Therefore, after only 2 days of calling, those with little donated little, those with much donated much, the school had collected 20 million VND and some old computers and iPads.

Receiving a gift from his teacher, student Vuong Hoang Quan (class 7D) was very touched because his biggest dream these days is to have a computer to study and keep up with his classmates. However, due to difficult circumstances, his mother has to take care of his elderly grandparents and Quan and his two brothers who are studying, so life is really difficult. The school also has great confidence in Quan, because despite his difficult circumstances, for many years Quan has been an excellent student, a model of studiousness of the school.

Teacher Nguyen Vuong Linh - Principal of the school confided: At this time, online teaching is a necessary solution to maintain students' learning. For us, in addition to professional efforts, our greatest wish is that all students can study online.

At Nghi Loc 4 High School, after only 1 day of launching, the school mobilized 7 smartphones and 13 3G SIM cards to give to students in the school. The timely gifts helped all students in the school have enough devices to study online and helped the school effectively implement teaching and learning during the epidemic season.

Teacher Nguyen Van Phuong - Principal of the school said: Among the phones we give to students, there are old ones, new ones and not much value. But this is the heart and responsibility of teachers and benefactors towards students and hope that they will have more motivation to study and overcome this difficult period.

Another creative and practical way has also been implemented by Doi Cung Secondary School - Vinh city, which is to lend computers to students who do not have the means. Teacher Pham Hai - Principal of the school said: Although located in the city, our school has many students with difficult circumstances, without the means to study. We are also very happy because after the school's announcement, many students have registered and within our capacity, the school will try to get these computers to the students as soon as possible.
