Nguyen Van Viet An, a 6D student at Anh Son Secondary School, shared: This morning, my younger brother and I woke up very early, wearing our school uniforms to attend the opening ceremony on TV. Although the time was short and we only attended via TV, I still saw that the opening ceremony was solemnly held with all the rituals such as: saluting the flag, reading the letter from the President on the occasion of the new school year opening... I am very excited and ready for a new school year with many good results.

Ms. Thai Thi Tu, Vinh Son commune shared: “I am a garment factory worker, I have to stay at the company for a long time and cannot go home. When I heard about the opening ceremony of the new school year being held on television, I called my grandparents to tell them to turn on the channel of Nghe An Radio and Television Station for my son, who is going to be in first grade this year, to watch. My grandparents also prepared nice clothes for him to attend the opening ceremony. I think this is a suitable way, both ensuring safety against the Covid-19 epidemic and creating a joyful and exciting atmosphere for the opening day of school - the National Day of Bringing Children to School.
