The Government has decided to provide 400,000 smartphones to poor and near-poor households starting April 30, 2026, under the Public Telecommunications Service Program through 2030. The policy is considered an important step in promoting nationwide digital transformation and helping disadvantaged communities gain access to the Internet, online public services, and socio-economic development opportunities.

Amid ongoing administrative restructuring and the rollout of a two-tier local government model, enhancing the capacity of civil servants has become increasingly urgent. Directive No. 14/CT-TTg, issued on April 22, 2026 and signed by Pham Thi Thanh Tra, underscores the importance of promoting digital self-learning as a key condition for building a modern, citizen-centered public administration.

The Thanh Thuy International Border Gate Border Guard Station, based in Thanh Thuy Commune, Tuyen Quang Province, is responsible for managing and protecting more than 31 kilometers of border with 44 boundary markers, adjacent to Yunnan Province (China). Along this frontier, where border posts stand silently through time, officers and soldiers remain steadfast in their duty to safeguard every inch of sacred national territory.

The Vovinam movement in Tuyen Quang Province is experiencing strong growth, emerging as a highlight in school sports and youth activities. From modest beginnings in 2014, the province now hosts more than 20 clubs with over 600 regular practitioners.

Facing increasingly extreme weather patterns, Tuyen Quang province is transitioning from a reactive approach to proactive disaster preparedness, aiming to minimize damage to lives and property.

In the mountainous and still-challenging area of Hung Loi commune, Dong Trang village has sustained a deeply humane initiative for nearly two decades: a community rice relief fund. Unlocked and without guards, this “granary of goodwill” has never run dry, nourished by voluntary contributions and strong communal bonds.

In early 2026, food safety management in Tuyen Quang Province revealed several shortcomings, ranging from slaughtering and quarantine to collective kitchens in schools. The situation calls for comprehensive, long-term solutions rather than reactive responses to individual incidents.

To proactively respond to prolonged dry weather, especially during the current peak dry spell, the provincial People’s Committee and relevant authorities have issued directives to urgently implement forest fire prevention and control measures.

In early April, Tuyen Quang was hit by an unexpected early-season heatwave, with temperatures soaring to as high as 38°C, creating stifling and uncomfortable conditions. This extreme weather has had significant impacts on human health, agricultural production, and daily life.

As a mountainous province with a large ethnic minority population, Tuyen Quang Province has identified the development of boarding and semi-boarding ethnic minority schools as a key priority.

Saving electricity during the hot season is an urgent requirement. It is not only a solution to reduce costs for households, agencies, and businesses, but also an essential to ensuring national energy security.

At Vietnam’s northernmost frontier, amid rugged limestone mountains and winding paths, young teachers travel long distances each day to reach remote classrooms, steadfastly delivering education to children in border areas. Despite numerous hardships, they remain committed, becoming a vital source of support for ethnic minority students.

March – the month of spring and youth – has become a distinctive milestone in the development journey of the Youth Union and youth movements. Over more than 20 years of implementation, Youth Month has not only served as a peak period of action but also as a vivid practical “school,” where young people are trained, contribute, and grow.

Hidden behind rows of gray limestone mountains, Pho Bang commune appears like a nostalgic film scene. This land remains full of vitality thanks to its unique “backward market,” a small festival-like gathering whose schedule shifts one day earlier each week compared to the previous one.
