However, in the context of the complicated developments of the pandemic, many students do not have computers for online study, and in many places, the internet network is unstable or there is no connection, he added.

PM Chinh also lauded businesses, organisations and individuals who were willing to support the programme in the spirit of “mutual love and affection” despite facing many difficulties due to the impact of the epidemic.

On the occasion, the PM asked the Ministry of Health to coordinate with the MoET along with relevant sectors and localities to accelerate COVID-19 vaccination for children.
