The school is crowded, how is the tutoring for slow learners?

Ms. Huynh Thi Tuyet Hoa said that because it is a one-session school, it cannot organize two sessions per day, so 11am or 5pm every day is the time for students to finish school. If tutoring is done after this time, students will be very tired and hungry, and the knowledge absorption will not be effective, which is not suitable for children's health and psychology.
