Lac Sy commune preschool in Yen Thuy district pays attention to integrating cultural preservation into educational environment

Educating traditional values for young generation

Attention has been paid to all-round education from early school years. In the remote Lac Sy commune of Yen Thuy district, Lac Sy preschool has successfully launched a model on building an educational environment linked with local cultural preservation. Walking through the school campus, visitors can explore a traditional cultural corner featuring a stilt house and everyday items of the Muong people, including looms, traditional attire, and culinary artifacts. Teachers have curated educational content using large storybooks of folklore, such as The Legend of the Stilt House, Ong Dung Ba Doang, and De Dat De Nuoc, which enrich the learning experience for young children. Moreover, play areas filled with traditional Muong games like bamboo dancing and stilt walking encourage physical activity while connecting children with their cultural roots. Every Monday and during festivals, students dress in Muong traditional attire, with the school achieving 100% participation.

 

Nguyen Quang Minh, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Education and Training, said these initiatives align with Hoa Binh’s goal of bringing local history and culture closer to the youth. The local education sector has been following national guidelines to integrate local cultural education effectively.

Building a vibrant cultural environment

 

Alongside nurturing individuals, Hoa Binh also focuses on creating a vibrant cultural environment, a responsibility embraced by local authorities as a long-term mission.

In 2023, around 88.3% of households were recognised as "Cultural Families," and nearly all villages and communities reached the "Cultural Community" standard. Additionally, about 92.8% of agencies and businesses met cultural standards. These statistics reflect the commitment to upholding Hoa Binh's cherished values of love, community spirit, and shared responsibility for local development.

The province celebrates key events such as International Day of Happiness (March 20), Vietnamese Family Day (June 28), and the National Action Month for Gender Equality. Furthermore, regular workshops on family ethics, sustainable family development clubs, and initiatives against domestic violence help reinforce community bonds and foster positive values across generations./.
