Since the 2019-2020 academic year, the provincial education and training sector
has received support from The Dariu Foundation to launch Micro:Bit courses and
establish programming and STEM clubs for primary and secondary students.
Over the past year, the sector has reaped certain achievements. Representatives
from Hoa Binh have participated and won awards at national and regional
programming competitions, notably "Radio for Communicating with
Communities", a product developed by a group of students from Mai Hich
Primary and High School (Mai Chau).
Programming and STEM events have also been held in districts like Mai Chau, Yen
Thuy and Lac Son, which have helped students apply sciences in reality.
The Dariu Foundation has provided support for the province, from equipment to
training. It has so far presented 400 laptops, 615 smartphones and more
than 600 Micro:Bit circuits, among others to Hoa Binh.
Bui Thi Kim Tuyen, Director of the Department of Education and Training, said
in recent years, the local education and training sector has paid great
attention to the application of information technology in teaching, gradually
shifting from the traditional teaching and learning methods to active methods,
helping teachers and students bring into full play their creativity.
It can be said that technology has helped to reform educational methods and
boost the development of the sector, she said, adding that the local education
and training sector will continue utilising resources and gifts to serve
digital transformation.
With high determination, the provincial education and training sector has
launched a digital transformation programme with various synchronous and
pragmatic solutions such as investing in material facilities, mobilising
donations in information infrastructure, providing schools with equipment,
creating a digital database and personnel training.
In implementing the digital transformation programme, the major task is to
mobilise resources to effectively roll out the 2018 general education programme
under a set roadmap. At the end of the 2020-2021 school year, the province
counted 5,957 classrooms and 469 libraries, which have basically satisfied
requirements of the new education programme. However, there still remain
roadblocks in informatics teaching and learning as most of the computer
classrooms have been downgraded with outdated equipment.
The Department of Education and Training said the province needs 12,543
laptops. Meanwhile, 114 educational institutions, including 88 at pre-schools
and 26 general educational institutions, lack computer rooms.
Besides, there are difficulties and challenges facing teachers and students in
terms of IT and personal equipment to serve online learning, which requires the
local education and training sector to seek effective solutions and mobilise
more resources to push ahead with the digital transformation./.
