Vietnam will provide lunch support for kids of preschools in needy areas, island, remote areas or kids’ parents living in such areas, according to the government’s newly-issued Decree 105/2020/ND-CP, which will become effective on November 1. Decree 105, replacing Decree 06/2018/ND-CP on preschool education development, keeps some terms of Decree 06. They are lunch support for kids without raisers; kids of poor or near-poor families; and kids of war heroes, dead soldiers, wounded soldiers. Another new term of Decree 105 is lunch support for kids with disability. The lunch support is set at VND160,000 ($6.87) per kid per month, versus the current term of 10% of the base salary (currently at VND1.6 million) per kid per month.
