Over the years, the program has continued to be expanded to other localities and received many positive reviews from government agencies, education departments, teachers and students nationwide. In Nghe An, since the 2012-2013 school year, 89 high schools in the province have implemented this program.
Continuing the success, in the 2018-2019 school year, Nghe An is one of ten provinces and cities nationwide selected by the Ministry of Education and Training to pilot the program at the secondary school level. Participating in this program, students will be provided with basic information about the traffic safety situation in Vietnam; warned of the risk of damage caused by traffic accidents and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to participate in traffic safely.
In particular, the entire program is introduced in an innovative way through real-life situations, observing models, and pre-staged clips. Teachers also participate in training courses so that they can proactively create curriculum and organize many teaching methods to convey lessons to students in a lively, easy-to-understand way and related to traffic reality in each locality.
