TPO - Having just returned to Ho Chi Minh City after the National Day holiday on September 2, many parents rushed to take their children to bookstores, supermarkets, and stationery stores to buy school supplies before the new school year.
 |
On the evening of September 3, at many bookstores in Ho Chi Minh City..., many parents brought their children to choose books and school supplies to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year. |
 |
At a bookstore, Ms. Minh Trang and her son, who is about to enter first grade, chose to buy books, notebooks, pens, and rulers according to his preferences. "I just came from the countryside and immediately took my son to the bookstore to buy school supplies. Before that, I bought a backpack and uniform for my son. Today, I went to see what was missing and then supplement it," said Ms. Trang. |
 |
Buying 20 notebooks, a set of 7th grade textbooks, and two pencil cases for a total of nearly 2 million VND, Ms. Phuong Uyen (living in District 6, Ho Chi Minh City) said that she reused her backpack and uniform from last year, so shopping for the new school year was a bit easier. If she had to buy everything new like the first year of high school, it would have cost about 5 million VND. |
 |
Note that most of the school supplies are domestic products. The goods are diverse, with many price levels for customers to choose from. |
 |
For example, student notebooks cost from 9,000 to 25,000 VND/book; pencils and pens cost from 3,000 to 10,000 VND/piece. School bags and backpacks with additional features to prevent hunchback, scoliosis, and shoulder deviation... cost from 200,000 to 300,000 VND/product in the popular segment. |
 |
Children are also given water bottles, writing boards... by their parents. |
 |
Before the start of the new school year 2024-2025, Ho Chi Minh City has classified school supplies such as notebooks, school bags, backpacks, handbags, school uniforms, school shoes, etc. into 12 groups of goods under the city's Market Stabilization Program. Therefore, these items are always stabilized, with prices 5-10% lower than the market price. |
 |
Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, affirmed that through this Price Stabilization Program, people have access to essential goods at stable prices to serve the city's residents. Especially at this time, preparing for the new school year, the program to sell essential goods to students is very necessary. |
 |
Although school supplies are classified as a price-stabilized product and there are many promotional programs, parents still spend millions to buy everything for their children. |
 |
The bookstore is bustling with parents and students coming to shop for the new school year. |
