At the event, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Cuong and Minister of Education and Training Phung Xuan Nha pledged to work closely to adapt disaster preparedness measures for schools. In addition, a workshop entitled "Schools out of disasters" will be supplemented to the program's participating schools.
The program is hugely significant amidst increasingly intense natural disasters that have happened around the country. The program is expected to be launched this coming June.
