The competition to build green, safe and effective kindergartens, and safe, creative and effective school and classroom spaces at the elementary level in the 2023 - 2024 academic year achieved outstanding results, thereby contributing to creating a truly meaningful educational environment.
Phu Vinh
Kindergarten (Tan Lac) builds a green, safe and effective educational
environment.
Nguyen Thi Hong Diem, head of the Division
of Preschool and Primary Education under the provincial Department of Education
and Training, shared that the schools have basically met the competition
criteria in a direction of putting students at the centre. Most schools arrange
classroom spaces appropriately, take advantage of spaces for children to
operate appropriately, and create favourable conditions for students to practice
and experience.
The competition attracted the participation
of 20 preschools, primary and secondary schools in the province. Teachers have
worked hard to build a lively school space which has created excitement for
children in learning and playing. They are a beautiful small reading room
uniquely designed with books and coffee for teachers to relax at Hoa Binh
Kindergarten; a green space like a resort at Doc Lap Primary and Secondary
School for Ethnic Minorities in Hoa Binh city; a rustic space like a homestay
at Bao La Primary and Secondary School in Mai Chau district or modern like a
mini resort at Hoa Phuong Kindergarten in Kim Boi district.
Through inspections at schools, the
Department of Education and Training acknowledged a fundamental change.
According to the department, building an
educational environment requires time and money, especially the enthusiasm of
schools’ leaders and teachers, and the care, sharing, and understanding of
students’ parents. Those efforts are recognised by the achievements of the
participating schools through this competition. It has mobilised the
participation of parents in improving the educational environment, thus helping
children enjoy the best learning environment. This model will be duplicated to
other schools in the coming time.
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.
