As schools in Vietnam have just opened after the summer holiday, here are the best pictures from the “Beauty of Vietnam” photo contest, depicting the bright faces of schoolchildren from across the country.
Cycling through the water to arrive in time for school
A pupil with physical disabilities surrounded by his classmates
Going to school in the flood season
The cheerful smiles and gestures of schoolchildren
A bright new day on the way to school
Two schoolchildren talk to each other as they cycle to school
Small kids being taught by Buddhist nuns
A bright face on the first day of school
Two children happily walk to school on a road in the Central Highlands
