The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
Participants at the conference.
The project is being carried out in Hoa Binh province from 2024
to 2029, dividing into two phases. The first phase of the project was
implemented in Vay Nua and Cao Son communes of Da Bac district between November
and December last year.
For the second phase, it is expanded to 13 communes across the
districts of Da Bac, Lac Son, Cao Phong, Mai Chau, Luong Son, and Hoa Binh city
from January 2025 to December 2029.
With a total funding of over 12.3 billion VND (481,500 USD), the
project is intended to equip schools and classrooms with essential facilities,
enhance capacity for teachers, and provide support for disadvantaged children
and those with disabilities.
The initiative aims to foster the comprehensive development of
students while creating a supportive and inspiring learning environment. It
also seeks to empower teachers, positioning them not only as educators but also
as persons who inspire their students.
Participants at the conference highlighted some challenges in
the implementation of the project, such as delays in deploying activities and
slow preparation process, which have prevented full adherence to the planned
schedule.
To ensure smooth implementation in the coming years, the
Department of Education and Training emphasised the need to enhance public
awareness campaigns to build stronger consensus and streamline administrative
procedures to facilitate the implementation of the project. It is necessary to
strengthen collaboration among stakeholders to maximise impact and prioritise
the quality and long-term effectiveness of the initiative, it added.
In the millennia-long history of national construction and safeguarding, people of all ethnic groups in Hoa Binh have been united and closely bound together to overcome all difficulties and challenges, standing alongside the entire Vietnamese people throughout the history of building and defending the country.
Living green is a healthy, positive, and sustainable lifestyle that not only helps protect
the environment and quality of life but also conserves natural resources and ecosystems.
Among the many ways to embrace this lifestyle, reducing plastic consumption is one of the most impactful.
The women's unions at all levels in Kim Boi district have been making significant contributions to the movement of building cultural life in the local community.
The movement helps improve rural look and the spiritual and material lives of local residents.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has issued an action plan to ensure food safety, promote processing, and develop the market for agricultural, forestry, and fishery products in 2025.
In recent years, the development of rural handicrafts has not only helped preserve and promote the traditional values but it has also created jobs and improved incomes for the local residents.
