(HBO) – After four days of the "Exchange waste paper for plants" programme, the Books and Action (BnA) Club of the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted, based in Hoa Binh city, collected more than 1.2 tonnes of waste paper and 538 plastic bottles. This was an encouragement for the club to carry out more interesting activities in the future and possibly come up with a new, creative, and meaningful career idea, according the club’s leader Nghiem Thi Nhu Quynh.
The "Exchange waste paper for plants” project of the BnA Club in the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted (Hoa Binh city) has received high evaluation thanks to its practicality, helping improve students’ awareness of environmental protection.
"Exchange waste paper for plants” is an environmental project implemented by members of the BnA Club. Following the project’s success in previous years, the traditional activity returned in early October, attracting hundreds of people coming to exchange waste such as waste paper, beer cans, and plastic bottles for small "sen da” (Crassulaceae) plants. This was a practical activity helping the club collect a large volume of waste and, more importantly, improve students’ awareness of environmental protection.
Over the past years, the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted has always paid attention to extra-curricular activities so as to create a dynamic educational environment for students to develop their creativity and career ideas.
Principal Bui Van Duong said the dynamic and flexible environment has helped the school improve educational quality, inspire students’ creativity, and create favourable conditions for them to bring into play their strengths and set out on their careers early in life. The school has also encouraged students to take part in competitions and experience activities to explore themselves, identify career orientations, and make appropriate decisions.
In Hoa Binh province, education and training authorities have also paid attention to the creation of a dynamic and flexible educational environment to inspire students’ creativity and career ideas. The Education and Training Department has organised an annual competition on startup ideas for students.
In 2020, the provincial People’s Committee issued a project on supporting students to start their careers. The project features such activities as boosting communications, providing training, encouraging the establishment of startup clubs in schools, and organising fact-finding trips for students. Provincial authorities will also organise workshops and contests, connect businesses and investors with students, and provide favourable mechanisms, policies, and funding for students’ programmes and projects to start careers.
By doing so, the entire policy system, organisations, and the entire society will join hands with the educational sector to boost the startup spirit among local students./.
