We returned to Phu Hai village, Phu Mo commune, Dong Xuan district ( Phu Yen ) on an early morning in mid-November, the light drizzle made the weather even colder. Many adults were still gathering around the fire waiting for the sun to rise to go to the fields, while at the schools, students had already arrived at class. To create a learning routine like this in highland schools is not an easy thing... In the mountainous district of Van Canh (Binh Dinh), there are 2 remote villages, no roads, no electricity, no medical stations... the people's lives are extremely difficult. With the determination to shorten the distance between the mountains and the lowlands, Binh Dinh province has invested in building and opening roads to the 2 villages. Convenient transportation has realized the long-standing dream of the people, and at the same time opened up development opportunities in the most remote and difficult areas of the province.

Crossing forests and wading streams to teach

In the highlands, to get to class to teach students, many teachers have to cross forests and wade through streams, regardless of danger. However, with their love for the profession, teachers have made great efforts to complete the task of "cultivating people", lighting up the fire of knowledge, and building a brighter future for students in the highlands. Only when we visited Phu Hai village on rainy days could we fully appreciate the hardships of teachers here.

Phu Mo Commune, Dong Xuan District, borders Gia Lai and Binh Dinh provinces, and is mainly inhabited by the Cham Hroi (a branch of the Cham ethnic group). If Phu Mo is considered the highest, most remote, and most difficult commune in Phu Yen province, Phu Hai is the farthest village, more than 10 km from the center of Phu Mo Commune. The road leading to Phu Hai Village is still a dirt road, passing through old forests, with steep slopes and fast-flowing streams.

Phu Hai School currently has a total of 36 students from grades 1 to 5, most of whom are children of the Cham Hroi ethnic group. Some classes have only 4 students, while others have to be combined to ensure the curriculum.

The school currently has 5 teachers, including 4 teachers from the lowlands who live in the dormitory. Every week, the teachers trek more than 10 km through the forest to get to the school. Although living conditions are lacking in many things, the teachers are always dedicated, love their jobs, care for and teach the students.

Working at Phu Hai school (part of Phu Mo Primary School) for nearly 15 years, teacher Tran Van Duong (born in 1963) is loved and respected by many generations of students and local people. Taking on the responsibility of teaching first graders, Mr. Duong carefully guides the students in each letter and spelling in each sentence and poem.

Teacher Tran Van Duong said: Teaching and learning conditions here are very difficult. I have worked here for many years so I am used to it. As for the young teachers who have to be far from home and have to travel a lot, I care about helping and encouraging many generations of young teachers to feel secure in their work.

Teacher Phung Quang Thanh (born in 1974) has worked in primary education for 25 years, including more than 4 years at Phu Hai school. Teacher Thanh shared: In recent years, life in the highlands of Phu Mo commune has changed and developed a lot. However, the roads are still inconvenient. It is better in the dry season, but it is very difficult in the rainy season. Many times the roads are muddy, and by the time we get to school, our clothes are dirty, no different from plowing the fields.

Bonded by love

It can be said that, with such difficult conditions, if teachers do not have a love for the profession and a heart for the children, it is very difficult for them to stay long-term. Teacher Duong confided: Although the life of a teacher at a highland school is still difficult, the love for the students in the mountains has helped me overcome and stay here for many years.

It is known that with only a few years left until retirement age, Mr. Duong is still determined to stay and "sow knowledge" and sow hope for a bright future for generations of students. Mr. Duong said that he sees his students as his own children, hoping that they will have a better life and become good citizens for society.

In addition to official class hours, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Trinh also spends time tutoring students privately.

Sharing about studying in a difficult area, teacher Phung Quang Thanh confided: Having to struggle with a 10km muddy and slippery road, I sometimes feel discouraged. But thinking about the education of ethnic minority children who are still at a disadvantage compared to other places, I feel compassion and am more determined to stick with it.

“Because of the large difference in level compared to students in the lowlands, we have to actively seek suitable teaching methods. Language is also a big barrier, so teachers have to eat, live and work with the villagers to master the local language and understand the thoughts and feelings of the people,” said Mr. Thanh.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Trinh (born in 1976) shared: Students in mountainous areas have a very difficult time studying. Therefore, in addition to regular teaching hours in class, teachers also choose weak students to tutor privately. The joy of teachers is that all students have solid knowledge at the primary level to continue their studies at the next levels.

Talking to us, Mr. Le Ngoc Hoa, Principal of Phu Mo Primary School, said: Phu Hai school, along with Lang Dong school (Phu Dong village), are the two most remote and difficult schools of the school. Teachers teaching at the schools face many difficulties in terms of transportation, facilities and teaching equipment.

However, many teachers have worked for many years and are willing to stay with the school. Some older teachers, when assigned to teach here, are always happy to accept the job and complete the assigned tasks. Despite many difficulties, thanks to the dedication of the teachers, most students at Phu Hai school have good academic results, meeting the requirements.

“With the noble responsibility of the teaching profession, the teachers here always care, share and support students, especially those in difficult circumstances. The joy of the school leaders and teachers is that the quality of learning of the students in the mountainous areas is increasingly improved. Although there are still many difficulties, with the efforts of the teachers, I believe that the children here will have a brighter future,” Mr. Hoa added.
