Education sector launches campaign to support people affected by storm No. 3

At the launching ceremony, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son expressed that the provinces and cities in the Northern region have been going through particularly difficult days due to the severe impact of storm No. 3 (Yagi). The damage up to this point cannot be measured; the time to overcome it cannot be calculated specifically.

Education officials and civil servants support flood victims.

According to initial information from some localities, up to now, 7 students and 2 teachers have died, 1 teacher is missing due to storms and floods; tens of thousands of schools have been damaged; millions of students have not been able to go to school.

In the face of serious storms and floods, the Ministry of Education and Training requested the Departments of Education and Training of provinces and cities to direct teaching and learning activities, support teachers and students to overcome the consequences of storms and floods, depending on the actual situation in the locality. The whole sector continues to strive to overcome difficulties to ensure that teaching and learning activities return to normal soon.

Responding to the call of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, with responsibility and spirit, together with the whole country, towards the provinces and cities in the Northern region, towards the people, soldiers, teachers and students who suffered losses due to storms and floods, the Ministry of Education and Training and the Vietnam Education Trade Union organized the "Launching ceremony of the education sector to support people affected by storm No. 3".

At the launching ceremony, leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training, units and individuals inside and outside the education sector donated a total of more than 6.6 billion VND; of which the Hanoi Education and Training sector alone donated 1 billion VND.

On behalf of the Ministry of Education and Training and the Vietnam Education Trade Union, Minister Nguyen Kim Son called on the entire education sector, officials, civil servants, employees, students, and organizations and individuals inside and outside the sector to join hands, contribute materially and spiritually to share the difficulties with people in flood-hit areas in general, and the education sector of the northern provinces and cities in particular.

“Any support, from notebooks, books, cash, personal items… at this time is very much appreciated. Support activities can be sent to the Vietnam Education Trade Union or directly to the localities, schools, families of teachers and students who have suffered losses due to storms and floods,” said Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son.

The Minister noted that immediately after the fundraising event, the support should be delivered to the beneficiaries as quickly as possible. Priority will be given to teachers and students. In addition, the Minister also requested the Departments of Education and Training and educational institutions to promote support and contributions, including to students.

At the launching ceremony, leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training, units and individuals inside and outside the education sector donated a total of more than 6.6 billion VND; of which the Hanoi Education and Training sector alone donated 1 billion VND. The donation activities will continue in the coming days through the Vietnam Education Trade Union channel.
