(HBO) – As of September 2018, all the 23 communes and towns of Mai Chau district completed the universalizing of nursery education for children aging five years old and met all the criteria for the popularization of primary education at the third level, secondary education at the second level, and standards of illiteracy eradication at the second level.

However, in reality, the universalizing of nursery, primary and secondary education and literacy eradication has been modest in scale, with unstable efficiency in many communes.

 The ratio of re-illiteracy remains high, while the education universalizing for children at right age is unstable in many poor communes and areas such as Hang Kia and Tan Dan, requiring regular measures of settlement. This is the most challenging issue in education universalizing in Mai Chau.

 

The organisation of illiteracy eradication classes in Hang Kia in March 2018 was considered a breakthrough in the education popularising and illiteracy elimination of Mai Chau district.

 

Hang Kia is a "hot spot” in illiteracy of Mai Chau. Statistics showed that it is home to about 800 illiterate and re-illiterate people aging from 18 years old and above.

 With the poverty rate of 55 percent, locals who finish primary education have no chance to access books after they get married, thus becoming illiterate again, which is the main reason for the high illiteracy rate.

 Some other people do not go to school and become completely illiterate. Many cannot speak Vietnamese, which prevent them to make conversations and refuse to learn.

 With the support of the provincial Department of Education and Training, in March 2018, Mai Chau opened three classes to eradicate illiteracy at the first level for 76 trainees.

 From the success of the classes in the Hang Kia B primary and secondary school, on August 14, 2018, Mai Chau continued launching four other classes for 92 locals. All the trainees are women from Mong ethnic minority group at the age of 18-24. After these classes, the outcomes of illiteracy elimination in the district will be significantly enhanced./.
