* Meaningful gifts for students in the border commune of Bu Gia Map

In the 2025-2026 school year, Bu Gia Map border commune has nearly 2,000 students, about 75% of whom are ethnic minority students. Therefore, at the beginning of the new school year, the commune received special attention from organizations, individuals, philanthropists inside and outside the province, as well as local Party committees and authorities.

Unlike in previous years, at this morning's opening ceremony for the new school year (September 5), instead of focusing primarily on cultural performances and watching the online celebration of the 80th anniversary of the education sector, many schools devoted most of the time to welcoming organizations, individuals, and philanthropists from both within and outside the province who presented meaningful gifts, timely support that gives poor and disadvantaged students better conditions to succeed in their studies.
