In the days ahead of the new 2025-2026 academic year, agencies and units under Regiment 52 have closely coordinated with local authorities to review and identify students in difficult circumstances for sponsorship and assistance, and presented gifts to students currently sponsored by the unit.
Receiving gifts from Colonel Nguyen Dinh Thang, Political Commissar of Regiment 52, student Ho Thi Ha from Chenh Venh village, Huong Phung commune, Quang Tri province touchingly shared that her parents passed away when she was very young. Her three sisters and she have lived together since childhood. Receiving the support from troops of Regiment 52, they were deeply grateful and promised to study hard deserve the troops' kindness.
According to Col. Thang, to ensure the efficiency of the campaign, the regiment has coordinated with Boards of administrators of schools and local authorities to review and select the most extremely disadvantaged students and then assigned them to specific agencies and units for direct sponsorship. Meanwhile, they have provided partial financial support and sent troops to assist the students in their studies.
Currently, Regiment 52’s affiliated agencies and units are taking care of six children and sponsoring 21 students in difficult conditions.
Along with sponsoring and assisting disadvantaged students in continuing to go to school, each year, the production teams and young volunteer intellectuals of the regiment also visit villages to help students their studies; disseminate information among local people about new life-style and encourage families to send their children to school. Over the past years, the unit has mobilized and secured funding to build several preschool facilities and mobilized young volunteer teachers to directly teach children.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Tuan, Commanding Officer of Regiment 52, underlined that in order to help local people escape poverty, improving their education should be focused on first, so that they could have knowledge and skills to apply in farming and production. With higher educational levels, they can distinguish right from wrong, contributing to strengthening defense and security in border areas.

Promoting the implementation of the Politburo’s Directive No.05 on studying and following Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality, and life style, together with movements on poverty reduction and cultural development, etc., Regiment 52 has placed great emphasis on the campaign to sponsor disadvantaged students and help them continue to go to school.
These movements have contributed to reducing school dropout rates and strengthening the close ties between the military and people within Khe Sanh Defense–Economic Zone.
