The teacher at Liêng Srônh Primary School helps students review their lessons.
Midsummer class
During the summer days of June, while students and teachers in many places were enjoying their holidays after a hard school year, four teachers from Liêng Srônh Primary School quietly ventured into the forest to the Tây Sơn school branch. In their simple classroom, they diligently guided each child's small hands, teaching them to write letters and perform calculations. They chose to stay with their students instead of resting after a year of intense pressure.
Tay Son is an area in Dam Rong 2 commune that still faces many difficulties in terms of transportation and economic life. Ms. Hoang Hai Yen, the principal of Lieng Sronh Primary School, said that the Tay Son school currently has 93 students from grades 1 to 4, 100% of whom are children of the Mong ethnic group. Although they now study in more favorable conditions than before, many children still face difficulties in using Vietnamese. Limited vocabulary and slow reading comprehension skills create many obstacles in accessing the curriculum.
Meticulously helping students refine each stroke of their letters.
Lessons that need to be taught repeatedly; letters that must be carefully formed stroke by stroke; moments of waiting together for a student to spell out a complete sentence… This work unfolds quietly but persistently, with all the responsibility and love for the students.

Every season when the flamboyant tree bloomsEach season when the flamboyant trees bloom is a season of farewells. Generations of students leave school, leaving the embrace of their teachers to enter university, and then venture into the vast world of life. As one of the volunteer teachers participating in the summer classes, Ms. Tran Thuy Hang, a Vietnamese language teacher, said that the most difficult thing was not the long journeys but helping students confidently use Vietnamese. Many students only communicate in their mother tongue in daily life, so the learning process requires more time. "There are some topics that need to be explained multiple times before the students understand. But when I see the students reading and writing better each day, all the hard work becomes worthwhile," Ms. Hang shared.
Summer classes are therefore not simply a way to review knowledge, but also help students maintain their study habits and avoid disruption after a long break. At the same time, it's an opportunity to gradually overcome language limitations, creating a solid foundation for students before entering the new school year.
Although they are still slow learners, the children diligently attend class every day.
The gaps need to be filled.
According to Ms. Hoang Hai Yen, the summer classes are not aimed at teaching ahead of the curriculum but mainly at helping students consolidate their learned knowledge. If the summer break is too long, many students easily forget what they've learned, especially Vietnamese. Each day, four teachers are responsible for reviewing Math, Vietnamese, and English, contributing to maintaining learning and providing a Vietnamese-speaking environment for students throughout the summer break. Indeed, there is still a significant gap for students to become proficient in Vietnamese from the early years of primary school. What is most needed right now is patience, support, and encouragement for them throughout their learning process,” Ms. Yen affirmed.

Not only children, but also adults in the villages are gradually being filled in language gaps. In Tay Son sub-district, since March 2026, the Lam Dong Economic-Defense Brigade has organized literacy classes for the local people. More than 60 students from the Mong ethnic group have registered to participate, divided into two classes under the guidance of officers from the Economic-Defense Brigade and a team of young volunteer intellectuals. These classes not only help people learn to read and write but also contribute to improving their communication skills, access to information, and gradually improving their quality of life.
Many people in their 50s and 60s still persistently practice spelling and writing each letter. For them, knowing how to read and write not only serves their daily lives but also helps them support their children and grandchildren in their studies. According to Ms. Hoang Hai Yen, when parents are literate and can use the common language, the language environment in the family gradually improves, creating conditions for children to develop better communication and learning skills.
