The "Internet and computers for students" program looks to ensuring the Internet access to all homes and providing computers for students at reasonable prices. The targets are the Internet access nationwide and 1 million of disadvantaged students receiving laptops by the end of 2021; and then no student lacking devices for online learning in the 2nd phase of 2022 – 2023.
Vo Hoan Hai, Director of Khanh Hoa Department of Education & Training said in 2021 - 2022, the local education sector is providing teaching through a combination of regular face-to-face on campus sessions and online learning. Online classes are essential as part of the ongoing response to the pandemic. However, many students, especially in remote areas and ethnic minority communities, still face the lack of devices for learning online.
The department has required educational facilities and schools to mobilize donations among public servants and employees to voluntarily donate at least one day’s pay and other items such as laptops, computers, tablets and smart phones to help the needy with VND1.4 billion contributed so far.
Reportedly, the Department of Education and Training is checking the number of students lacking facilities for leaning online to report to the Provincial People’s Committee before November 10. The Provincial Education Sector’s Trade Union will receive the items and donations from the State Budget and funds to the program. The department will give 500 computers to students who are from financially disadvantaged families or have lost parents to Covid-19 to facilitate their online learning, initially in high-risk areas by the end of 2021, according to Vo Hoan Hai.
