Coming to this Study Tour, Mr. Hung gave a speech about the present situation and problems of afterschool activities for elementary and junior high school students in Vietnam. He emphasized that afterschool activities provide schools with opportunities to prepare for performance events and prepare sporting teams for competitions. This is where students can learn without being constrained by the strict regulations of the schools, they are allowed to be creative, get challenges and the most important- be themselves. Therefore, each country should give attention to the afterschool activities in order to keep students safe as well as to promote students’ health for a better world, because children are the future of the world.
