Strengthening capacity for managers and teachers
Lang Son is the latest destination of the journey to spread the program "Mizuiku - I love clean water". Nearly 1,500 managers and primary school teachers in the province participated in the training, with 200 teachers attending directly and more than 1,300 teachers accessing the online system from 244 connecting points across the province.
The program has helped strengthen teaching capacity and promoted effective program implementation in the Northern mountainous region.
Within the framework of the program, managers and teachers are also guided to apply the Mizuiku document set with teaching and learning methods about water resources approved by the Ministry of Education and Training to be included in the official curriculum for primary schools nationwide.
Through the training, teachers are not only updated with knowledge about saving and protecting water resources, but are also equipped with methods to integrate environmentaleducation content into lectures in a lively, accessible and age-appropriate way for each student.
Spreading positive impact across the country
Since the beginning of 2025, more than 2,000 teachers in provinces such as Can Tho, Bac Ninh, Ben Tre and Lang Son have participated in Mizuiku training, aiming to spread knowledge and actions to protect water resources to about 230,000 primary school students nationwide.
