Following instructions by Da Nang Department of Education and Training Director Nguyen Dinh Vinh, all of the city’s schools are opening their libraries and sports areas to their pupils during the ongoing summer vacation.

These facilities will be available to pupils on certain weekdays with the aim of offering healthy play areas for local children during the summer break.

Also, appeals will be made for public donations to operate clubs for martial arts, music and other extracurricular subjects in the local schools.  These clubs will open their doors during the whole academic year, and the monthly fee for one course at the clubs will be 200,000 VND per trainee.

In particular, learn to swim courses will be offered at local schools and service providers for 200,000 VND per person (for 12 sessions).  Pupils from poor and social policy families will enjoy fee reductions or exemptions.
