Along with 26 million students nationwide, this morning, thousands of students in border communes of Quang Tri province eagerly went to school to attend the opening ceremony of the new school year 2025-2026.

Huong Lap is one of the border communes of Quang Tri that has just been affected by storm No. 6. Many roads have been cut off, especially the route from Cha Ly village to Cu Bai village which is severely degraded.

This makes it difficult for students to go to school as well as teachers to spread knowledge. In particular, this is also a locality on the Vietnam - Laos border, where the majority of students are ethnic minorities.

According to the leader of Huong Lap Border Guard Station (Quang Tri Border Guard Command), in order to promptly support students to get to school in time for the opening ceremony, early in the morning of September 5, the unit sent many officers and soldiers to each village to mobilize parents to bring their children to school.
