(HBO) - The 2020-2021 school year is the first year to officially implement the new general education programme which was issued in 2018, from Grade 1. Due to the impact of COVID-19 over the past time, the education and training sector has to close schools for over three months. The remaining time is very short, so the sector has to quicken the preparation for the official introduction of the new general education programme in schools.
The first task is selecting textbooks for Grade
1 students. Previously, there was only one set of textbooks for Grade 1 at all
schools, but in the 2020-2021 academic year, the country will have five sets of
textbooks for schools to choosefrom.
In May, the provincial Department of Education
and Training coordinated with the board compiling textbooks on the locality at
primary school level to pilot the usage of locally-compiled textbooks on the culture,
history and tradition; politics-society and environment; geography, economy and
vocational guidance in Hoa Binh.
The department has also increased training of education
managerial staff and teachers in using the new programme./.
The National Science and Engineering Fair for secondary and high school students was held at Ton Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City from March 19-21 by the Ministry of Education and Training.
As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
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.
With over 70% of their workers being women, trade unions across industrial parks (IPs) in Hoa Binh have been actively safeguarding their legal rights and interests while implementing initiatives to improve their income and well-being.
In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial General Hospital has continuously innovated itself and improved the quality of medical services to meet the increasing needs of local people. With substantial investments in infrastructure and modern equipment, along with a team of highly qualified doctors and nurses, the hospital has gradually established itself as one of the leading medical units in the Northwestern region and a trusted destination for healthcare for people inside and outside the province.
From mastering the fundamentals of programming to achieving national recognition, the Programming Club of the Le Van Tam Primary School (STAR LVT28) in Hoa Binh city has made remarkable strides in the field of robotics.
