Leaders of Dai-ichi Life Vietnam, Hoa
Binh province’s Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs and Kim Boi
district present 400 gift packages to poor students in My Hoa commune.
Consequences of the unusual heavy
rains and floods last month have left hundreds of thousands of people in
northern mountainous provinces, particularly those in Hoa Binh, living in
difficulties, said Director General of Dai-ichi Life Vietnam Tran Dinh Quan,
who is also President of the firm’s "For a Better Life” Foundation. The
province’s students are in urgent need of support to continue their study, he
added.
The foundation gave some 800 gift
packages, including warm clothing and schoolbags worth 170 million VND (7.480
USD) in total, to primary and secondary students in the two communes in the
hope of making them warm and safe on the way to schools during the winter.
Besides the event in Hoa Binh, the
insurer has organised charity events to provide relief to flood-affected people
in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thanh Hoa, Son La and Yen Bai
provinces since mid-October. The company has so far donated 1.4 billion VND (61,600
USD) in aid to contribute to the disaster-relief effort.
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.
Da Bac is the most disadvantaged mountainous district in Hoa Binh province, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 90% of its population. Over the past years, the district has mobilised resources to implement ethnic policies to improve the quality of life of local people.
In recent years, Hoa Binh province has consistently prioritised the protection, care, and education of children, particularly those from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds, by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for their all-round development.
The Steering Committee for Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control of Hoa Binh province, in coordination with the Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control Fund, held a ceremony on May 28 in response to the World No Tobacco Day (May 31) and the National No Tobacco Week (from May 25 to 31). The event was chaired by Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the Steering Committee.
Since 2021, the Center for Industrial Promotion and Industrial Development Consulting (CIIDC) under the Department of Industry and Trade has been implementing a school lighting model as part of the plan for using energy efficiently and economically in Hoa Binh Province in the pẻiod of 2021 - 2025. This model not only aims to improve the learning conditions and enhance the education quality, but it also promotes the message of energy saving, energy security, environmental protection and contributes to the goals of socio-economic development.
In the 2024 - 2025 school year, the entire Hoa Binh provincial education sector includes 520 educational institutions and schools. Among them are 13 ethnic boarding schools with 153 classes and 4,487 students. Four of these schools have met national standards, reaching 30.7 percent.
