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.
