Poor students from An Giang island get free ferry tickets for graduation exams

Eleven impoverished students from the remote island commune of Nam Du in An Giang province will receive free high-speed ferry tickets to travel to the mainland for their upcoming high school graduation exams. The students, part of a group of 33 from THCS An Son school who are sitting for the exams in 2026, face significant challenges due to their isolated location.

The initiative to provide free ferry tickets was organized by teachers at THCS An Son, who mobilized benefactors to cover the round-trip costs. This support aims to alleviate the financial burden on the students and their families. Additionally, the An Giang Provincial Police are offering free and safe transportation for the students to reach their examination sites.

Teachers at THCS An Son have dedicated efforts to prepare the students academically, focusing on ensuring they achieve high scores. The school principal, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huynh Tam, highlighted the students' determination to succeed despite their difficult circumstances.

In a separate development, Giồng Riềng High School in An Giang province is supporting 52 poor students with 500,000 Vietnamese dong each to purchase necessary supplies for the exams. The provincial Department of Education and Training has announced that approximately 39,983 students will participate in the exams across 78 designated locations, with contingency plans in place for transportation of exam materials, including to islands like Phu Quoc.

The small amount of money can help the students buy pens, rulers, and other necessary items to perform better in the exam.
