The gymnastic performance of 11,032 primary school students in Binh Duong is a restart event in the Morning and Mid-Class Exercise Program that the Vietnam Student Sports Association and Nestlé MILO brand wish to deploy in primary schools across the country.

Morning and mid-class physical education activities have been implemented for primary school students in many provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Giang, Hai Phong, Phu Yen, etc. and will continue to expand to schools nationwide.

Previously, in April 2019, for the first time, Vietnam recorded 6,146 students performing morning exercises and mid-class exercises, the largest in Vietnam, in Vinh Long province. The continuous expansion of the program has received a strong response from parents, students and schools, which is a testament to the positive and effective impact that the activity brings.

Regular morning and mid-day exercise will help children develop physically, balance outdoor activities and classroom hours, help children become more excited and maintain lasting energy for an active day of study.
