Teachers “say goodbye” to the “disconnect from the network” situation thanks to FPT Telecom's free Internet connection
After the school had a case diagnosed with Covid-19, teachers and students at Thuan Thanh No. 1 High School have been living and studying in a concentrated isolation area for the past ten days. Teachers will assigned to communes based on the number of quarantined persons, and they will share a room with residents, students, or colleagues. This group consists of 40 people in total; including 5 teachers and 35 students who quarantined at Gia Dong Kindergarten No. 2 (Gia Dong commune, Thuan Thanh district).
According to the statistics, many educators have difficulty teaching online due to a poor network connection. For example, while teachers are addressing difficulties from a test for pupils, they run out of mobile data and must purchase an additional 3G/4G package to stay "online." Furthermore, many students in this isolated area faced a similar circumstance, putting their studies in trouble, particularly as grade 12 pupils approached the period when they needed to focus on preparing for the approaching university admission exam. FPT Telecom's Management Board authorized the Bac Ninh Branch in Business Zone 2 to deploy support for the installation of a free Internet connection for the quarantine location as soon as the aforementioned information communicated.

On May 20, at 3 p.m., a team of four Bac Ninh Branch members began relocating to Gia Dong Kindergarten No. 2. Prior to that, the members were provided with protective clothes, masks, and sanitizers to ensure the utmost level of safety. Supplies have also been freed from the warehouse, making them available for the important mission ahead.

“It was very hot, and everyone was wearing protective clothing, so it felt like we were going to a'sauna,' but we all tried to do our duty, work tirelessly, and focus so intensely that we didn't have time to pick up the phone again!” When it comes to the epidemic, everyone is concerned, but the members' spirits are always at their highest." "Telecommunications people must bring Internet connections to people when they need it most, that's what makes the most sense," Mr. Nguyen Van Minh said.
The branch's team completed the installation of a total modem and four AP devices in less than four hours. The technical members left with peace of mind after carefully inspecting the quality of the stable connection. All four APs have been successfully installed as of 20 p.m, May 20, 2021, the connection was stable, and teachers and students can use the Internet without interruption, allowing them to continue with their next lessons.
