To continue supporting students affected by storms and floods to stabilize their studies soon, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that schools pay attention to and prioritize allocating resources to exempt and reduce tuition fees and have financial support policies suitable to each student's circumstances.

At the same time, instruct students to contact local authorities to request confirmation of family's sudden financial difficulties to apply for credit loans and support for studying.
