(HBO) – The Da Bac Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic Minority Students in Da Bac district, Hoa Binh province, has celebrated its 50th founding anniversary (1968 – 2018) last weekend.
The Da Bac Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic Minority
Students, previously known as the School for Ethnic Minority Children, was
founded in 1968. Going through many historic ups and downs, the school has not
only seen hundreds of its staff and teachers being honoured with noble awards
but also produced many senior officials for the central and local governments.
The school has been recognised as an "excellent collective” for 25
years and a "strong and clean party cell” for 18 consecutive years. It has also
been awarded a certificate of merit by the Prime Minister in the emulation
movement "Good teaching, good learning”, a certificate of merit by the Ministry
of Education and Training three times, and many others by the Party’s Committee
and People’s Committee of Hoa Binh.

Leaders of the People’s Committee
of Da Bac district present a commemorative flag of the provincial Party’s
Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee and Fatherland Front to the Da
Bac Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic Minority Students.
The school currently has 40 staffers and teachers. As a boarding
school, the staffers and teachers do not only focus on teaching students but
also take a good care of their life away from home. Over the past five decades,
the school has provided education to thousands of ethnic minority students in
the district, many of whom were excellent students at the national, provincial
and district levels.
The provincial Party’s Committee, People’s Council, People’s
Committee and Fatherland Front took the occasion to present the school with a
commemorative flag while the Ministry of Education and Training awarded the
school with a certificate of merit for its outstanding development achievements
from 1968 to 2018.
The ministry also presented certificates of merit to five
outstanding staffers and teachers of the school in recognition for their
contribution to education./.
More than just an information technology teacher, Bui Van Nien is an inspiring figure who has nurtured the scientific curiosity and creative spirit of students in Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities.
