On the evening of December 4, Mr. Dam Thanh Lac - Principal of Giong Rieng High School (in Giong Rieng commune, An Giang ) - said that today, teachers and especially nearly 1,500 students at the school stood silently on both sides of the road to send off teacher Le Phu Quoc (60 years old, physical education teacher at the school) to his final resting place.

According to Mr. Lac, in 1987, Mr. Quoc came to teach in Giong Rieng. This was the time of renovation, the school was still thatched and the classrooms were simple. With his dedication to his job, Mr. Quoc has been with the school until now and is loved by many generations of students.

Due to severe lung disease (the doctor diagnosed it as possibly post-COVID-19), Mr. Quoc's illness quickly worsened and he passed away.

"When he was alive, Mr. Quoc was kind, sociable, responsible and always devoted himself to poor students. His passing left behind endless sorrow and regret for many generations of students. Today, nearly 1,500 students stood along both sides of the road to see Mr. Quoc off to his final resting place.

The hearse passed by the school, teachers and students could not hold back their tears and grief," Mr. Lac said sadly.

In addition, he also received a certificate of merit from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor , and especially a certificate of merit from the Prime Minister for his achievements in education.

In 2023, Mr. Quoc was awarded the title of Excellent Teacher for his great contributions to the cause of education.
