The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province hosted a seminar on June 13 to evaluate activities supported by ChildFund in Vietnam and review the innovation of preschool and primary education in the locality in 2023-2024.
Participants at the seminar.
The event was attended by representatives of the
Department of Education and Training, the department’s preschool and primary
education division, the education and training offices of Hoa Binh city and
districts; and managers and teachers in preschools, primary schools, and
higher-secondary schools which are applying innovative models in the 2023-2024
academic year.
During the academic year, schools in the
province received technical assistance for activities such as supporting
children during the preschool-to-primary transition, and promoting language
development through play-based learning.
As a result, 100% of educational institutions
applied play-based learning linked to language development for children. Most
schools managed pupils’ records through digital platforms. Attention has also
been paid to implementing relevant policies.
Participants focused their discussions on
difficulties and challenges in implementing education tasks and policies for
teachers who specialise in teaching children how to integrate; as well as
measures to address the uneven level of teacher qualifications.
They suggested ChildFund in Vietnam make
appropriate adjustments and better coordinate in implementing educational
activities in the province in the 2024-2025 academic year.
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.
