(HBO) – When talking the education in the poor commune - Tan Dan (in Mai Chau district), the story in which many teachers go to class in the day time, and they go fishing in Da River in order to improve the meals for students at night has become a fairy tale in modern life. Particularly, the principal – Ha Manh Quyet is compared to the pioneer for the educational development in the difficult area.


The teacher, Ha Manh Quyet, is always devoted to his lovely students.

Mr. Quyet remembered: "In 2009, I was arranged to work at Tan Dan Secondary School. This was a very difficult commune with adverse traffic. The commune had two residential areas, one was located near Da River bank and the other was on the high ground. Also, there was a hamlet far from the center by 15 km, hence, the mobilization of students going to class faced many challenges. For children to access the education, their parents had to build bamboo cottages around the school and bring food down to the school. Looking at the shortage of food and accommodation, we pitied them so much. After concerning a lot, I realized that people went to fishing and casted the net at night. They caught a large number of fishes and shrimps, therefore, I intended to buy a net to go to fishing with purpose on enhancing the meals for students. This idea was received many supports and agreements so other teachers donated money to buy a net in Tien Phong commune (Da Bac district) with the price of 5 million VND.

In the day of class, I concentrated on my plan notebook. At 11 pm, I closed the plan notebook and went with other teaches to the river to cast the net and catch fish and shrimp for students. At five o'clock in the morning, all teachers waked up again and casted the net one more time. As a habit, day after day, this was a lucky day for us to catch a lot of fish and shrimp. However, there were some unlucky days when we caught nothing. But, all teachers still diligently desired to improve the meals for students”.

His house is at Xam Khoe commune, far from 80 km to the school. Although this is far distance, Mr. Quyet does not mind because of his dear students.

Mr. Quyet said: "Comparing to 5 years ago, the quality of education of the school has changed positively. By 2011, this was the first time that the school had students awarded the prize of excellent student at district level. In addition, although the roads were difficult to travel from the school year 2015 to 2016, the school did not have students drop out. In recent time, the school had a teacher awarded the second prize of good administrational teacher at provincial class”.
