(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) and the Petrolimex Ha Son Binh company held a ceremony on September 11 to begin the construction of classrooms and half-boarding facilities at the Thung Nai Semi-Boarding Primary and Junior High School for ethnic minority students in Cao Phong district.
Vice Secretary of
the provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh, head of the provincial Party Committee’s mass
mobilisation board and President of the provincial VFF Committee Nguyen Thi
Oanh, along with Cao Phong officials and representatives of the Petrolimex branch
in Hoa Binh cut the ribbon to start the building of the new facility at the
Thung Nai Semi-Boarding Primary and Junior High School for ethnic minority
students.
The event was attended by Vice Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee Ngo Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui
Duc Hinh, head of the provincial Party Committee’s mass mobilisation board and
President of the provincial VFF Committee Nguyen Thi Oanh, along with other
provincial and district officials and representatives of the Petrolimex branch
in Hoa Binh. The new construction is also meant to celebrate the 17th
provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
Via the provincial VFF Committee, the Petrolimex
Ha Son Binh company provided 3 billion VND (128,900 USD) to help with the
construction of classrooms and half-boarding facilities at the school. The
two-storey building with four classrooms and two functional rooms, built by the
Ngoc Lam Construction Co. Ltd, is scheduled to be put into use in late 2020.
Thung Nai is a particularly disadvantaged
commune near the Da River reservoir. In the 2020-2021 academic year, the school
has 324 students, including 192 from ethnic minority groups and many from poor
and near-poor families. Most of the students live about 8-10km away and have to
go by boat to school while the school’s infrastructure remains modest.
Once put into use, the new facility is hoped to
be a great support for the school in improving teaching and learning quality
and caring for students.
Addressing the ceremony, Vice Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan thanked the Petrolimex Ha Son Binh
company for its assistance for Hoa Binh province and local education.
He asked the school to coordinate with the
contractor to ensure construction quality and progress, adding it should be
well aware that a school is a place for not only sharing knowledge but also
teaching the young to be good human beings.
Apart from good teaching and learning, the
official also requested special attention to students and teachers’ health amid
complex developments of COVID-19. He expressed his hope that the school will
fulfill its duties so as to help create high-quality human resources to
contribute to local development.
On this occasion, the Vice Secretary presented
the school with one computer lab and examined the implementation of the
programme supporting schools with water purification machines at the Thung Nai
school./.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
