Container houses for ethnic minority pupils in Quang Ngai
Around 20 container houses for ethnic minority pupils in a school of the central province of Quang Ngai have been upgraded for the new school year.
The sponsored houses have become the shelters for nearly 200 pupils of Tra Lanh Secondary and High School in Tay Tra District. They are mostly the Cor ethnic minority group whose families are poor and far from the school.
The old leaf roofs have been replaced with corrugated iron sheets which have much longer duration. Some other parts of the houses, including the floor, have also been upgraded.
Le Van Tu, the school headmaster, said that the houses are enough for all the pupils.
These containers have different sections for learning and sleeping. They are provided with mosquito nets, mattress, fans and desks for learning. Each can accommodate 8-10 students.
The restoration has been partially assisted by donors, while parents have also contributed financial support for the work.
Tu said that pupils were very happy to live in the container houses and it had helped reduce the number of pupils who drop out of school.
