The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.

Participants at the conference.

The project is being carried out in Hoa Binh province from 2024 to 2029, dividing into two phases. The first phase of the project was implemented in Vay Nua and Cao Son communes of Da Bac district between November and December last year.

For the second phase, it is expanded to 13 communes across the districts of Da Bac, Lac Son, Cao Phong, Mai Chau, Luong Son, and Hoa Binh city from January 2025 to December 2029.

With a total funding of over 12.3 billion VND (481,500 USD), the project is intended to equip schools and classrooms with essential facilities, enhance capacity for teachers, and provide support for disadvantaged children and those with disabilities.

The initiative aims to foster the comprehensive development of students while creating a supportive and inspiring learning environment. It also seeks to empower teachers, positioning them not only as educators but also as persons who inspire their students.

Participants at the conference highlighted some challenges in the implementation of the project, such as delays in deploying activities and slow preparation process, which have prevented full adherence to the planned schedule.

To ensure smooth implementation in the coming years, the Department of Education and Training emphasised the need to enhance public awareness campaigns to build stronger consensus and streamline administrative procedures to facilitate the implementation of the project. It is necessary to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders to maximise impact and prioritise the quality and long-term effectiveness of the initiative, it added.
