Reviewing the draft resolution regulating the policy of supporting the training of Lao students studying abroad under the educational cooperation agreement between Nghe An province and Lao provinces studying at educational institutions in Nghe An province; the meeting members agreed to submit to the Provincial People's Council to issue this resolution based on specific political and legal grounds.

However, some opinions also suggested that the agency drafting the resolution should clearly define specific support levels for educational and training establishments and some direct support levels for students.

The Provincial People's Committee needs to direct the Department of Finance, the Department of Education and Training, and relevant units to provide guidance on the content of expenditure and payment methods, ensuring timeliness and convenience for policy beneficiaries after the resolution takes effect. In particular, this is a monthly support policy, avoiding delays that affect the practical significance of the policy.

Accordingly, this resolution stipulates a policy to support training costs for educational and training establishments in the province at the rate of 3.4 million VND/person/month, not exceeding 10 months/school year.

Lao students are supported with funding to purchase initial personal items; living expenses; travel expenses; health insurance; and support in organizing activities to celebrate the national day and traditional New Year of the two countries Vietnam and Laos.
