Hanoi(VNA) – More than 16 billion VND (around 910,700 USD) in non-refundable aid will be provided for needy students in 22 provinces this month.

The financial provision was agreed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Education and Training Nguyen Thien Nhan and World Bank Country Director for Vietnam
Victoria Kwakwa in a meeting early this month.

The funding will be given to 11 provinces which suffered serious consequences
from the recent floods and storms, and 11 mountainous provinces where many
children of ethnic minorities are living.

The amount will be spent on clothing, books, notebooks and writing utensils.
