Burden of expenses at the beginning of the school year
Ms. Tran Chin, a worker at Da Nang Seafood Service Industrial Park, said that because the family belongs to a poor household, the second daughter's tuition is not significant, all fees are exempted.
"At the beginning of this school year, the children did not have to buy much, they mainly bought school supplies to study," Ms. Chin expressed.
With a salary of more than 5-6 million VND/month, Ms. Chin is the main breadwinner in the family. Ms. Chin's husband does not have a stable job, so all of her worries are hers to take care of. However, one of her children is currently studying at a university in Da Nang City, so the cost of studying is also very high. Therefore, this was the time when Mrs. Chin had to borrow money to maintain her children's education.
This is also the worry of workers in the worker housing area (Cam Le district, Da Nang city).
Ms. Nguyen Thi Be (worker at Hoa Cam industrial park, Cam Le district, Da Nang city) has 3 children. Among them, two children have grown up and have stable jobs. Up to now, there is only one little daughter who is about to enter first grade.
Ms. Be carefully prepared uniforms, books, and shoes for her daughter's first day of school. However, what worries Ms. Be the most is that when she is about to retire, her job is unstable and she will not be able to take care of her daughter's education.
Da Nang students start school from August 29
At the workers' housing area in Cam Le district, there are still workers who have to worry about their children's expenses at the beginning of the school year. Ms. Tran Thi My Le, a worker at Hoa Cam industrial park, has finished preparing her children for the first day of school.
“To save money, I bought uniforms for my children instead of sewing them. I think the uniform is very beautiful, fits the child well and the price is much cheaper," Ms. Le said.
According to Ms. Le, her two older children have been sent to live in the countryside with their grandparents, but she worries about everything to help their grandparents and make up for the two children's emotional separation from their parents.
Life is difficult, Ms. Le and her husband do not have a stable job, and she has an underlying illness. Every month, Ms. Le has to go for treatment at Da Nang Oncology Hospital at a cost of more than 800,000 VND. At the beginning of this school year, Ms. Le had to pay tuition for her two children in the amount of more than 3 million VND. This makes Ms. Le worry the most.
