From the perspective of aneducational psychologist, I see that Dan Tri , which started as a learning encouragement news site in 2005, has now grown to become one of the leading electronic newspapers with about 14-15 million visits per day.
The newspaper has truly become a rich, accessible, up-to-the-minute repository of knowledge about all aspects of life – from new education policies, exam results to inspiring real-life stories.
The newspaper is also a forum where the voices of teachers, parents, and experts are heard. It is a bridge between schools, policy makers, and the community, to openly criticize many policies.

In-depth articles on school violence, exam pressure and young people's mental health, the new general education program, and policies and benefits for teachers have contributed to orienting public opinion and creating soft pressure, urging authorities to update and improve education policies in a more progressive and humane direction.
The newspaper is also always a pioneer in addressing pressing social issues that serve as a wake-up call for the whole society, such as the situation of "bullying teachers", the problem of "suicide" among young people, the risks of declining reading culture in the context of AI, or educational philosophy in the context of AI.
Besides professional content, Dan Tri also directly contributes to Education through many meaningful social projects and activities.
Typically, through the Compassionate Heart program, the Newspaper has called for support for thousands of students and teachers in difficult circumstances, built bridges and new schools in remote areas, and lit up the dreams of many generations of disadvantaged students in remote areas.
In particular, Dan Tri newspaper co-organized the Vietnam Talent Awards to encourage and honor talents with a sense of responsibility and a desire to contribute to the community.
Personally, I am not only a long-time reader, but also a contributor and a guest. I am proud to join the newspaper in many analytical articles and discussions on hot issues in the education sector. Each article and each discussion program leaves me with deep memories and emotions.
One of them is the article “Education is not a score marathon” on Dan Tri with the message that Education must make people freer and happier instead of creating “score champions”, and education is not just an administrative regulation but must be the human heart.
The messages have received strong sympathy from many parents and feedback on the change with Dan Tri .

Or the talk show “Preparing children for the growth of AI” organized by Dan Tri with the participation of me and Mr. Bach Ngoc Chien as guests attracted tens of thousands of parents to watch online and comment sympathetically about the risks of mental health damage in the digital world ; the need to improve digital skills; rethinking educational philosophy and intelligence in the AI era.
After the seminar, many educational institutions also proactively contacted to cooperate in developing a number of programs to prevent mental health damage for students, improve digital and AI capacity for students and teachers.
My journey of collaboration with Dan Tri has helped me spread my knowledge and passion for the profession to the community, while also learning a lot from readers' feedback and new collaboration opportunities. This is something I believe is very true for other contributors.
Entering a new decade with many opportunities and challenges. Hopefully, the newspaper will always be a “close friend” of every family, listening to the thoughts of generations of teachers, students and parents; at the same time, it will be a reliable information channel for the Party and State to consult the people’s voices in the field of education.
I wish that your Newspaper will always be at the forefront in its role as a consultant and critic of educational policies; become a more effective bridge between family - school - society; and be a place that reflects more voices of young people, students and teachers, especially teachers in remote areas.
Happy 20th Birthday to the Newspaper!
