Nearly 40% of Ethnic Minority Students in Yen Bai Benefit from Boarding and Semi-Boarding Education Policies

Monday, April 21, 2025

In recent years, Yen Bai Province has prioritized the development of education and training in ethnic minority and mountainous areas with the aim of raising intellectual standards, nurturing talent, promoting socio-economic development, and reducing poverty. As of now, nearly 40% of ethnic minority students across the province are benefiting from educational support policies through boarding and semi-boarding schools.

Students of the Yên Bình District Ethnic Boarding Secondary School perform a cultural art program rich in the Tay ethnic group's cultural identity.

The province currently has 9 ethnic minority boarding schools, 50 semi-boarding schools, and 57 primary and lower secondary schools with semi-boarding students. Ethnic minority students receive a range of practical support policies, including lunch subsidies for those attending full-day classes at semi-boarding schools, financial assistance for hiring kitchen staff beyond the central government’s funding, and allowances for accommodation and the purchase of cultural and sports equipment.

To date, Yen Bai has invested over VND 1,900 billion in education for ethnic minority, remote, and disadvantaged areas. This has significantly contributed to improving school enrollment, increasing attendance rates, and enhancing the quality of education for ethnic communities.

Looking ahead, the province aims to further increase the proportion of ethnic minority students studying at boarding and semi-boarding schools with full access to essential learning conditions. By 2025, Yen Bai strives to complete the solidification of classroom infrastructure and ensure that over 65% of preschools and general education institutions meet national standards.
