Over 376,000 Students in Yen Bai Receive Tuition Exemptions and Learning Support

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

In recent years, Yen Bai Province has consistently prioritized investment in education, especially in remote and ethnic minority areas. Through a range of policies and support mechanisms, the province has significantly improved school attendance rates and educational quality in highland and disadvantaged regions.

Providing concentrated lunch subsidies for students attending full-day classes at ethnic minority semi-boarding schools has significantly contributed to improving attendance and maintaining student enrollment.

In 2024 alone, more than 376,000 instances of tuition exemption, reduction, and learning cost support were recorded across the province, with a total budget exceeding VND 111 billion. Of this amount, over VND 93 billion was allocated specifically to support learning expenses. Notably, nearly 53,000 students from especially difficult areas benefited from housing and meal subsidies under Government Decree No. 116, totaling more than VND 191 billion.

Additionally, 5,400 ethnic minority boarding students received scholarships under Joint Circular No. 109, amounting to over VND 50 billion in support. Other targeted policies have also been effectively implemented, such as lunch subsidies for preschoolers, rice assistance for semi-boarding students, and tuition reimbursements for ethnic minority pupils.

These efforts reflect Yen Bai’s strong commitment to fostering equitable and sustainable access to education, laying a solid foundation for human resource development in the province.
