The school that helps dreams take flight.

The journey of overcoming difficulties

We visited Bat Xat No. 1 High School in early October, when the teachers and students were busily preparing for an important event – ​​the 50th anniversary of the school's founding. Bat Xat No. 1 High School now boasts modern facilities with multi-story buildings, a spacious campus, and a teaching and learning environment that ranks among the most favorable in the province. Mr. Vu Xuan Long, the principal of Bat Xat No. 1 High School, shared: "The current generation of teachers and students are always proud of this school, and even more proud of its rich tradition and educational achievements over the past 50 years."

Students from Bat Xat No. 1 High School won many awards at the Science and Technology Competition for High School Students in the 2017-2018 school year.

Bat Xat No. 1 High School was established by taking over the premises of Bat Xat High School, and has gone through many ups and downs with 5 relocations. In 1968, it was the Bat Xat District Secondary and High School, established in Ban Vuoc commune. The school's first cohort had only 6 teachers and 30 students, mainly children of ethnic minorities from Ban Vuoc, Trinh Tuong, Quang Kim, and Ban Qua communes.

From 1972 to 1979, the school was separated and moved to the center of Bat Xat district; in the 1979-1980 school year, the school temporarily ceased operations due to the border war; from 1981 to 1991, the school was re-established and built in Ban Xeo commune; from 1991 to the present, the school has moved to the center of Bat Xat town. Throughout this difficult journey, especially in the last 15 years, generations of teachers and students have strived to overcome difficulties, improve the quality of education and increase the number of students. In the 2003-2004 school year, Bat Xat No. 1 High School was built as a solid, multi-story building with sufficient classrooms and offices, surrounded by a green, clean, and beautiful environment, with 18 classrooms, 44 staff and teachers, and 672 students.

The "cradle" of human resource training in Bat Xat district.

Recalling the school's history, teacher Vu Xuan Long shared: The 2018-2019 school year marked two important milestones for the school: its 50th anniversary and its relocation to a new building with more spacious, modern, and impressive facilities. Over the past 50 years, the school has educated 8,200 students, with over 8,000 graduating from high school; nearly 6,000 students have gone on to study at universities, colleges, and vocational schools. For a border district like Bat Xat, which still faces many difficulties, this is a crucial human resource contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality.

Thousands of students from mountainous regions and ethnic minority groups have now become provincial and district officials, engineers, doctors, teachers, military officers, skilled workers, and successful farmers, building happy lives for themselves and contributing their efforts and intellect to building their homeland.
