In which, there are many difficult cases. Before the new school year, the school has repainted and renovated the degraded classrooms, renovating the hygiene to make the children more comfortable when going to school".
According to Mr. Dung, the school's youth union also cooperated with homeroom teachers to grasp the situation of students in difficult circumstances, especially ethnic minorities, to support scholarships. Each student received 1.5 million VND from the bank's sponsorship.
Ahead of the 2025 - 2026 school year, the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province has coordinated with the Department of Finance to advise the Provincial People's Committee to allocate funds to repair, upgrade and purchase teaching equipment for schools, with a total cost of 293 billion VND.
For preschool, primary and secondary schools, the cost of repair and procurement is decentralized to the People's Committees of communes and wards for implementation.
