Compared to their peers living in Hue City and the lowlands, children in the mountainous and remote Nam Dong and A Luoi districts are at a significant disadvantage in terms of access to information technology, books, and age-appropriate publications. However, thanks to the efforts of the education sector, local authorities, and schools, the reading spaces for children in these places are increasingly being supplemented with a variety of books and periodicals, helping them have more "good friends" during their breaks or extracurricular activities.

On the occasion of Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day 2023, on the morning of April 19, Hue Monuments Conservation Center opened an exhibition of rare books and introduced the work "Ngự chế minh văn cổ khí đồ" by Emperor Minh Mang.

Inside the Forbidden City, Thai Binh Pavilion was once used by the king for reading books and reciting poems above the quiet surface of Ngoc Dich Lake. Visitors can leisurely sit on a boat gently surfing on the lake and enjoy the pure taste of lotus tea while admiring the palaces, fortresses, and the beauty of the royal Parasol flowers.

On this occasion, Hue Monuments Conservation Center will also organize a contest "Sharing good books" among several schools, such as Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted, Hai Ba Trung High School, and Nguyen Hue High School to spread the reading culture to the younger generations.

From school year 2022-2023 onwards, local education is one of the seven compulsory educational subjects and activities applied to the upper secondary level.
