The northern provinces and cities are experiencing particularly challenging conditions due to the severe impact of Typhoon No. 3, which is considered the most intense and destructive storm in several decades. At present, heavy rain, flooding, and landslides continue to affect many areas. Many regions are struggling with disaster prevention, and recovery efforts to stabilize living conditions. The extent of the damage is currently incalculable, and the timeframe for recovery remains undetermined. Preliminary reports from some areas indicate that tens of thousands of schools have been damaged, and millions of students are unable to attend school.

At the launching ceremony, Minister Nguyen Kim Son called upon the entire education sector, including officials, staff, students, and both internal and external organizations, to contribute materially and spiritually. This collective effort is intended to share the burden with those affected by the storm and flooding, particularly focusing on the education sector in the northern provinces and cities.

The Ministry of Education and Training will prioritize support for teachers and students facing difficulties with housing and transportation. Educational departments and institutions are encouraged to solicit and promote community support, including contributions from students. Even modest donations can have significant impact and serve as an important lesson in solidarity and mutual aid, teaching students the value of helping others in times of crisis.
