At the meeting, the province’s chairman of the Education Promotion Board Tran Van Can, said that this year the board granted scholarships worth VND48 billion (USD2.2 million) this year.

According to Can, many schools in the province were seriously affected by the recent Storm Damrey. Up to 288 classrooms were flooded and 97 others were damaged, leading to the total loss of around VND12 billion (USD54,545).

Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Doan sent her sympathy to families who were been hit by the recent storms and hope that they will soon stabilise their life.

Doan used the opportunity to grant scholarships totaling USD9,000 to support disadvantaged pupils whose families were affected by the recent storm. She noted that the province needs to try to help them so that none of them have to drop out of school.
