Tri Ton is a mountainous, border district with a large Khmer ethnic minority population in An Giang province. This is also the place with the highest rate of poor and near-poor households in the province. Therefore, the educational level of the people here is low, a part of the parents of students due to difficult circumstances do not have the conditions to wholeheartedly take care of their children and siblings to study fully. The rate of students dropping out of school in the district is higher than in other places in An Giang province.

Therefore, the District Association for Promotion of Education always pays attention to and promotes socialization in caring for the promotion of learning and talents, building a learning society to help students study, improve their qualifications, and prevent dropping out of school.

The Association has been flexible and creative in mobilizing and building an effective scholarship fund. The fund is used to provide scholarships to poor students who overcome difficulties and study well and excel; and to provide "Steps to School" gifts to students who are children of poor and near-poor households to facilitate their ability to go to school and improve their academic qualifications.

According to the President of the Tri Ton District Association for the Promotion of Education, Neang Kim Cheng, from the beginning of 2024 until now, the association has mobilized a fund for the promotion of education and talents of over 2.3 billion VND, thereby supporting nearly 6,000 scholarships and gifts to go to school with a total cost of over 2.2 billion VND. Along with that, the commune and town associations at all levels mobilized nearly 4.5 billion VND, supporting more than 16,000 gifts and scholarships.

In addition, the Tri Ton District Association for the Promotion of Education also initiated the “Piggy Bank” movement - a form of savings for students in local schools. The meaning of this movement is the spirit of sharing, helping friends overcome difficulties, and together firmly walking on the path of conquering knowledge.

Students in each class voluntarily use their savings to feed pigs. The savings collected are used to help students in the same class and school with difficult circumstances to continue pursuing their studies.

Wishing for children to continue to study and improve their qualifications, the Tri Ton District Association for the Promotion of Education launched a movement to build and develop learning families. Thanks to the consensus of the community, the number of families registering to achieve the title of “Learning Family” has increased significantly.

Also according to the Chairman of the Tri Ton District Association for the Promotion of Education, Neang Kim Cheng, in the coming time, the District Association for the Promotion of Education will continue to coordinate with many organizations and social forces to participate in activities to promote education and talents, building an increasingly developed learning society.

Along with that, the association will promote the lifelong learning movement of "Learning Families", "Learning Clans", "Learning Communities" and "Learning Units" to take an important step forward, contributing to the building of a learning society.

The Tri Ton District Association for the Promotion of Education sets out the motto of linking the promotion of education with fundamental and comprehensive educational innovation and the campaign “All people unite to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas”. On that basis, continue to mobilize the association’s fund to achieve and exceed the target, helping children to study, improve their qualifications, and prevent dropping out of school.
