In particular, Lao Cai province started the pilot program from the 2019-2020 school year. After the pilot period, the province recorded many positive results, improving the quality of education and reducing the dropout rate.
Arranging time for middle school students to have Saturday off has received the approval of most parents and students because it extends their rest time and increases concentration on studying during the week.
