Students "keep up the pace" of studying during the long Tet holiday.

(Baohatinh.vn) - In the early days of spring, many students in Ha Tinh are taking advantage of the time to review for upcoming entrance exams and college admissions.

While many families take advantage of the Lunar New Year holiday to travel and visit relatives, a significant number of graduating high school students in Ha Tinh province maintain a regular study schedule. For them, Tet is not only a time for family reunions but also a crucial period to consolidate knowledge and prepare for upcoming entrance exams and college admissions.

Nguyen Thi Thao is making the most of her time studying during the Tet holiday.

As a student in class 12A6 at Cam Xuyen High School, Nguyen Thi Thao proactively developed a study plan throughout the Tet holiday. Besides helping her family with cleaning and visiting relatives during Tet, Thao maintained her habit of self-studying in the evenings.

"Every day I spend about 2-3 hours reviewing the knowledge in three subjects: Literature, History, and Geography. The amount of knowledge is vast, so if I interrupt my studies, I'll easily forget," Thảo shared.

Maintaining a regular study routine will help you retain knowledge effectively.

Similarly, Hoang Nguyen Nhat Linh (class 12A1, Ky Anh High School) also took advantage of the holiday to review and consolidate her knowledge of science subjects, which are not her strong points. Instead of cramming, Linh chose to work through thematic practice tests, thereby identifying gaps in her knowledge and strengthening her foundation before the important exam.

It's not just 12th-grade students; many 9th-grade students are entering the holiday with a similar mindset. Vu Thi Quynh Tram, a 9th-grade student from Phan Dinh Giot Secondary School (Cam Xuyen commune), aims to pass the entrance exam for the 10th-grade specialized Literature class. For Tram, the subject of Literature needs to be continuously nurtured.

"If you take too long a break, you'll lose your inspiration and your thought process. During the Lunar New Year holidays, I reread the works in my textbooks and practice writing a short paragraph each day. In addition, I look for more advanced materials to expand my knowledge," Tram said.

To avoid letting the long holiday affect their exam preparation progress, students proactively balance spring outings and studying.

Parents are reassured by their children's self-motivated studying during Tet (Lunar New Year), but also concerned about avoiding excessive pressure on them. Ms. Tran Thi Mai, parent of Vu Thi Quynh Tram, said: “We don’t force our child to study during Tet. However, we are very happy to see her proactively sitting down to study every evening. The important thing is that she knows how to balance studying and resting, maintaining her health to enter the accelerated learning phase after Tet.”

According to teachers, maintaining a self-study habit during the holiday is necessary, but it shouldn't become a stressful period. Ms. Hoang Thi Hong Nga, a teacher at Dong Tien Secondary School, suggests that students should only spend about 2-3 hours each day reviewing key content and practicing exam questions at a moderate level.

"Reviewing throughout the Tet holiday doesn't mean cramming or exhausting yourself. The important thing isn't the number of hours, but the actual effectiveness. Students need a specific plan to avoid interruptions in their studies, but they also need to dedicate time to their families. This balance will help students enter the post-Tet period with the best possible mindset," shared Ms. Nga.

From the very first days of the new year, many young people have proactively prepared for the journey ahead.

Ms. Dao Thi Phuong Lan, Vice Principal of Cam Binh High School, stated: “The school's stance is to respect students' Tet holiday time, not assigning homework so that they have the opportunity to experience and participate in traditional activities with their families. However, for graduating students, the school always encourages self-study and proactive review to prepare for important exams at the end of the school year.”

Not only high school students, but many university students also choose to "enjoy Tet without forgetting to study." Phan Viet Hoang, a student from Duc Dong commune at the University of Water Resources, who is preparing to study in Germany, took advantage of the first two days of the new year to visit relatives and wish them a happy Tet, then quickly returned to his planned studies. Besides completing the necessary procedures, Hoang focused on improving his German language skills and reviewing his specialized knowledge to be ready for his new journey.

Phan Viet Hoang proactively studied German in order to keep up when he moved to Germany.

“After graduation, if too much time passes without studying, professional knowledge can easily fade away. I want to maintain proactiveness and discipline from now on. During Tet (Lunar New Year), I still spend time with my family, but every day I dedicate time to studying German and reviewing my major to prepare myself as best as possible when I move to a new environment,” Viet Hoang shared.

In reality, for graduating students, Tet (Lunar New Year) is no longer a long holiday as it used to be. Instead of long trips, many students choose to stay home and maintain a regular study schedule to avoid knowledge gaps. Simultaneously, local education authorities are intensifying efforts to disseminate legal information and coordinate with families to remind students to strictly adhere to traffic safety regulations and prevent legal violations during Tet.

From January 7th (February 23rd, 2026), students in Ha Tinh will return to school after an 11-day Tet holiday. In their journey back to school, alongside the joy of reunion, many students also carry with them a sense of initiative, self-discipline, and determination to conquer their future goals.
