Van Thuy guides students in a game as part of the Cha-Ching Financial Literacy
Project.
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.
In the afternoon of January 15th, at the Industrial Park of the Left Bank of Da River, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Parks organized the program "Reunion Tet – the Spring Being Grateful to the Party” in 2025.
On January 9th, the Department of Education and Training held a conference to summarize the school year of 2024, reviewing the semester I and deploy tasks for 2025, semester II of the 2024-2025 school year. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Chuong, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
In the spirit of mutual support, charitable groups and donors in and outside Hoa Binh province have come together and joined hands with local authorities and organisations to hold meaningful, humanitarian activities for the poor, vulnerable, and those in need, spreading love and kindness from the "golden hearts" in the community.
The "Volunteer Youth" movement is the pride of Vietnamese youth. Along with the spread of the movement in Hoa Binh province, the volunteer youth movement in Lac Son district has many imprints, creating a vibrant emulation atmosphere for the youth, contributing to building a rich and civilised homeland.
Kim Boi district, a revolutionary land rich in cultural heritage, is "awakening” with major opportunities to become a tourism and eco-urban hub in Hoa Binh province and the region as a whole.
Thanks to the support of local authorities, Hoa Binh’s education system continues to achieve significant progress, contributing to meeting comprehensive reform targets and students' learning needs as well as supplying high-quality human resources for the province.
