According to the ministry, eligible students are those who have no computer and equipment for online study and have not yet received any support in the field.

The Deputy PM has assigned the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs to coordinate with the Finance Ministry, the State Bank of Vietnam and relevant agencies to work on supplementing the policy regarding the credit package and report it to the Government./.
