(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the current situation of disorder and traffic insecurity at school gates in the area, the Youth Union Executive Committee of Anh Son town coordinated with the People's Committee and the Fatherland Front Committee of the town to build a model of "Traffic culture at school gates".
Anh Son Town Kindergarten and Primary School are located opposite each other on the same road, the two schools currently have nearly 800 students attending. In this area, during rush hour, there are always traffic jams of parents coming to pick up their children, causing local congestion, congestion in front of the school gate and potential risk of traffic accidents.

Ms. Thai Thi Thuy Van - Secretary of the Youth Union of Anh Son town said: This activity will be carried out by volunteers for 1 week and will be maintained regularly in the new school year 2018-2019.
