Each student will get 15kg of rice per month. The rice is taken from the national reserves of the General Department of State Reserves under the Ministry of Finance.
The People’s Committees of districts and communes are responsible for coordinating with the Department of State Reserves in the locality to deliver the rice.
The provincial Department of Education and Training along with the provincial Department of Finance, Committee for Ethnic Affairs, and the Department of State Reserves in the locality will examine the implementation of rice support for students.
Thanh Hoa’s education sector suffered heavy losses after historic flashfloods on August 3.
According to the provincial Department of Education and Training, a lot of schools were submerged and heavily damaged due to the natural disaster.
Muong Lat, Quan Hoa, Ba Thuoc, and Quan Son districts were among the hardest hit areas.
In the 2019-2020 academic year, the local education sector needs about 26 billion VND (1.11 million USD) to address flood consequences./.
