Vietnam schools face welfare initiatives and traffic safety concerns

As the new school year begins in Vietnam, reports highlight both social welfare initiatives and significant safety concerns. In Quang Ninh, schools are implementing support policies, such as free school milk and lunch subsidies for students at Vu Oai School to reduce financial pressure on families.

In contrast, a fatal traffic accident in Ha Tinh Province has raised alarms regarding student safety. A collision involving a truck and a motorcycle carrying three students resulted in two deaths and one injury. The incident has prompted calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws, as many students continue to operate electric motorbikes without proper age requirements or helmets.
