From a school in a difficult area
Located in the new land of Nam Dong - which was just established after administrative merger, Nguyen Binh Khiem - Nam Dong High School still faces many difficulties in economic conditions, traffic and facilities. In particular, modern teaching equipment is currently only available in 4/20 rooms with televisions (given by previous classes). However, what Mr. Ly Anh Quyet - Principal and the teachers here have to strive for every week is to maintain the number of students.
"More than 70% of the school's students are children of the M'nong, Tay, Nung ethnic groups... living scattered in remote villages and border areas. Their parents often work far away on the fields and have little time to pay attention to their children's education. Therefore, teachers always have to encourage them to have enough motivation to go to school," Mr. Quyet shared.
Sharing the same opinion, the leader of the Department of Culture and Society of Nam Dong commune also said that the road to school for the children is still bumpy due to many factors, but every morning, the school drum still rings regularly and rhythmically as proof of the determination to rise up of the teachers and students here.
It is known that in the 2024-2025 school year, the whole school has 19 classes with 703 students, of which 553 are ethnic minorities. Although the entrance requirements are still low compared to the general level of Lam Dong province, but with the spirit of "not leaving any student behind", the school proactively innovates teaching and learning methods, closely connects with families and local authorities to maintain a student attendance rate of over 98%.
“We believe that education in remote areas is not only about imparting knowledge but also about instilling confidence, inspiring the will and responsibility to learn in each student,” Mr. Ly Anh Quyet added.
Improving the quality of the team - the foundation for transformation
Last school year, the school's 50 staff members demonstrated a spirit of solidarity, responsibility and continuous learning. 100% of teachers met the standard qualifications and completed all training modules required by the 2018 General Education Program. 3 teachers were trained in integrated subject teaching; many actively researched and designed digital lessons, applying information technology to each lesson.
In the face of a shortage of teachers for new subjects such as Music, Experiential Activities - Career Guidance, the school has boldly encouraged teachers to self-study, participate in short-term training courses and share experiences with colleagues. These efforts have contributed to maintaining a high school graduation rate of nearly 98% in the 2024-2025 school year, with many students being admitted to universities with quite high scores.
In addition, the scientific research movement and STEM activities have been strongly developed. The school's "STEM Festival" attracted 107 entries, of which 44 were awarded prizes. From this playground, many creative ideas of students were formed, becoming the premise for scientific and technical topics to participate at the provincial level.
Digital transformation – a new step forward in management and teaching
In recent times, Nguyen Binh Khiem - Nam Dong High School has actively and proactively implemented digital transformation in management and teaching. The entire school uses QR codes for public boards, administrative procedure boards and traditional rooms; applies electronic transcripts for grade 10; implements VNPT-Smart CA digital signatures and Misa management software, vnedu.vn in all stages of administration.
The school also built an electronic learning materials warehouse on the VNA system, helping students easily look up lectures, exam questions, and review materials; organize online teaching and testing via Azota, Google Meet; design vivid lectures with images, videos, and virtual experiments. Although the network infrastructure has not yet covered the entire area, the application of technology has created a breakthrough, bringing new learning excitement to students in disadvantaged areas.
“Digital transformation is not only a tool but also a new way of thinking in teaching. We encourage each teacher to become a “digital nucleus” in their classroom,” Mr. Ly Anh Quyet shared.
In addition to knowledge, moral education, life skills and career orientation are implemented systematically. Martial arts, football, arts, badminton, table tennis clubs... operate regularly, helping students practice physical fitness and team spirit. Many practical topics such as "Prevention of school violence", "Traffic safety", "Drug prevention", "Adolescent reproductive health education" are organized periodically, creating positive effects throughout the school.
Not only studious, Nguyen Binh Khiem - Nam Dong students are also highly appreciated for their spirit of solidarity, politeness and proactive participation in community movements. The image of teachers and students in the highlands working together to preserve the class, preserve the school, preserve knowledge has become a solid foundation in the journey to build a sustainable national standard school.
