Enhancing the learning environment and reducing disparities in educational conditions in disadvantaged areas

This deficiency significantly impacts the quality of education and the well-being of students.

The "Light up the School" program, initiated in April 2018, aims to enhance educational access for numerous students by leveraging social resources. Its objectives include upgrading educational facilities by constructing new schools, dormitories, toilets, and playgrounds. Additionally, the program provides teaching and learning equipment for students in remote and disadvantaged areas affected by natural disasters, storms, and floods.
