Over the past two years, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, many families have fallen into difficult circumstances. In particular, the pandemic has also left many students orphaned, many of whom have lost both their parents. According to statistics, in Nghe An province, there are 48 students who have lost their father or mother in preschool, primary, secondary and high school. Losing a loved one is a great mental trauma and loss for these children, and also puts them in difficult material circumstances.

Speaking at the ceremony, Director of the Department of Education and Training Thai Van Thanh shared the loss of the children's most beloved ones. The pandemic has left a huge void in every family. The head of the education sector also welcomed the way the Nghe An Education Trade Union has worked when it had many timely programs and activities to join hands, support, share, and mobilize all the hearts and feelings of organizations and individuals for students who have lost their father or mother due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

In the coming time, the Education sector will continue to pay attention and mobilize social resources to visit, encourage and care for children in difficult circumstances, children who have lost both parents due to the Covid-19 epidemic in both material and spiritual life so that they have equal opportunities with their peers.

In the immediate future, we will support students with funds to buy textbooks; continue to implement policies to support learning costs for students from poor and near-poor households...

In the coming time, the Department's leaders also hope that the Education Trade Union needs to group the subjects to sponsor, have more specific and closer incentive programs so that orphans have the opportunity to study and develop comprehensively.

Director of the Department of Education and Training Thai Van Thanh also advised and encouraged the children to overcome their circumstances, study hard to repay the kindness of their sponsors, and become good students and useful people for society.
