Quang Ngai improves education for ethnic students

The move will raise the total number of local boarding schools to 39. 

There are more than 45,000 students across mountainous districts in the province, 2,000 of whom are studying at seven boarding schools. 

Expanding the boarding school network is expected to facilitate ethnic students’ access to receiving education. 

The locality will also provide financial aid for tuition fees and accommodation, school supplies and 15kg of rice per month for ethnic students. 

Vietnamese and ethnic languages will be taught at the schools, among other activities to improve learning and teaching quality. 

In the 2015-2016 school year, investment for education in the province reached nearly VND12.5 billion (US$562,500), almost double that of the previous school year, at VND7.5 billion (US$337,500).
