Hope Foundation invites contributions to help students access online education

As of mid-September, around 1.5 million students were having trouble accessing online lessors, according to the Ministry of Education and Training.

As the pandemic rages, students nationwide have gone through numerous periods of remote learning over the past two years. Not all of them have been lucky to enjoy easy access to online classes. There have been families where siblings have had to choose who gets to study at home, while others have to run to a neighbor's house to borrow a mobile phone.

"There's not even enough money for daily meals, forget buying phones and computers for online learning," said Phan Thi Mai, the mother of a first grade child in Dong Nai Province.

Dang Hai, a father in Ho Chi Minh City, shares the conundrum.

"I have three children in first, fourth and seventh grade, but there’s only one phone. I've already requested the schools to let them attend classes at different hours but failed. I don't know what to do," he said.

The lack of phones and computers for online classes is a common situation for many families. Their plight gains urgency because the coronavirus is unlikely to go away anytime soon and online classes are expected to last a long time.

The program by the VnExpress Hope Foundation, called "Computers for Students," aims to provide tablets, laptops and computers for over 3,000 students in difficult circumstances.

It will also help families install Internet lines and help make online classes more convenient for both students and teachers.
