Following the direction of the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Vinh Tan Primary School has new desks and chairs.

Previously, the press reported that many parents whose children were studying at Vinh Tan Primary School (Vinh Tan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) were upset about the school using old, rusty desks and chairs for students to study. In addition, the classroom walls were also peeling and deteriorating.
