In October, Nguyen Van Thuy, a primary school teacher at Hung Son Primary and Secondary School in Luong Son town, Luong Son district, was one of three Vietnamese representatives to receive the Inspiring Teacher Award at the Asia-Pacific Cha-Ching Financial Accreditation (CCFA) Teacher Conference for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Twenty-eight years of experience in teaching, 10 years as an exemplary head of the school’s Ho Chi Minh young pioneer organisation awarded a certificate of merit by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, and many years earning the title of Excellent Teacher at the school and district levels are Thuy’s impressive achievements. In the 2023-2024 academic year, Hung Son Primary and Secondary School implemented the Cha-Ching financial literacy project for the first time for the fourth and fifth graders. Thuy was one of the seven teachers at the school who received training to teach in accordance with this new model.

With his enthusiasm and creativity in every lesson, Thuy has been highly praised by the school administration and the advisory board of the Cha-Ching Financial Literary for Kids Programme. Among the three Vietnamese awardees, he had the honour of representing Vietnam to deliver a bilingual speech in both Vietnamese and English at the online conference summing up the programme held on October 18.

The teacher expressed his honour to be selected as one of the 16 teachers from the Asia-Pacific region to receive this award, adding that this is not only a personal achievement but also the result of the collective efforts of both the teachers and students of Hung Son Secondary and Primary School.

The programme, organised by Prudential Vietnam Life Insurance Company in collaboration with Junior Achievement (JA) Vietnam, equips children aged 7 to 12 with financial management knowledge and skills, helping them cultivate smart financial habits. It focuses on four key skills: earning money, saving, spending, and donating. After five years of operation in Vietnam, Cha-Ching is being taught at 314 primary schools in Hanoi, and Hoa Binh, Hung Yen, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh, Dong Nai, and Dong Thap provinces.
