In the 2025-2026 school year, the education sector was assigned the target of 100% health insurance coverage for students, without the companionship of the newspaper, it would be very difficult to complete.

On behalf of the students, parents, and schools, I would like to thank Dan Tri newspaper.

"My father had a traffic accident and has difficulty walking. My mother has a heart condition and is in poor health, so our family's finances are still difficult. This is the first time I have received a health insurance card from Dan Tri newspaper. I am very happy. I promise to study hard and try to pass the university entrance exam so as not to let down my parents, teachers and Dan Tri readers who have cared about my situation," said Ho Ngoc Cam Tien (12th grade student).
