As the new school year begins in Vietnam, authorities and educational institutions are addressing student welfare and safety. In Quang Ninh, officials have introduced free electric bus routes to reduce urban traffic congestion and implemented support policies, such as free milk and lunch subsidies, to alleviate financial pressure on families.

Simultaneously, there is an increased focus on traffic safety. While schools in Ha Noi have hosted interactive sessions with police to teach students proper helmet use and pedestrian practices, safety concerns have intensified following a fatal collision in Ha Tinh Province involving a truck and a motorcycle. This incident has led to calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws, particularly regarding students operating electric motorbikes without helmets or meeting age requirements.
