The joy of students in Na Meo border commune on the groundbreaking day of the new school.
In the border commune of Yen Khuong, the main school will be located in Bon village. The new school has an area of 1.7 hectares, along with a 0.3-hectare satellite school in Xang Hang village. Both will be invested synchronously, with full infrastructure serving the learning and boarding activities of students and teachers, from classroom systems, multi-purpose halls, libraries, to boarding areas and public housing.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, leaders of Thanh Hoa province, leaders of central ministries and branches and students performed the groundbreaking ceremony at the Yen Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School.
Teacher Nguyen Van Hoan, Vice Principal of Yen Khuong Secondary School, who has worked at the school for 5 years, suddenly lost his voice when mentioning the disadvantages of his beloved students and colleagues who have been living in the village for decades: "The school has 19 staff, teachers and 313 students, of which 70 are currently living in rented accommodation. Most of the staff and teachers work far from home, the roads are dangerous, so they stay at school in poor living conditions. Although the State has invested in teaching equipment for many years, it still cannot meet the requirements of teaching according to the new curriculum. We have conducted a preliminary survey and there will be about 500 primary and secondary school students registered to stay in boarding schools when the new school is inaugurated."

With 30 years of experience in the profession, teacher Vi Thi Huong, a Thai ethnic, living in Linh Son commune, nearly 30 km from the school, her eyes lit up during the ceremony: “The new school will help students have a more spacious and safe place to eat and live, especially those from remote villages such as Yen Binh and Xang Hang. Previously, during the rainy season, many students had to stay home due to landslides. Now things will be different! The facilities are better, teachers are also confident in staying at school, innovating teaching methods. Students will be able to study properly, and later they will return to contribute to beautifying and enriching their homeland."

Ngan Thi Hoang Anh, an 8A student, Thai ethnic in Bon village, happily said: “My class has 5 friends from Xang Hang village. On days when it rains heavily and the road is eroded, we have to miss 2-3 days of school. Now that we hear that there will be a new school, my friends and I are very happy. The new school with fully equipped, modern classrooms will help us study better. My friends also don't have to worry about missing school because of storms anymore.”

At the same time, the border commune of Tam Lu was also more bustling than usual. On the land chosen as the starting point for the Primary and Secondary Boarding School Project, people, teachers and students gathered in large numbers. Their eyes shone with hope.
For a locality with many difficulties like Tam Lu, this project has special meaning, because it is not only a place to study, but also a warm home in the border area to help children study with peace of mind, especially when the rainy and stormy season comes and the roads are difficult.

In that joy, Lu Thi Kim, a 6A student at Tam Lu Secondary School, was moved: “With a new school, we will no longer have to worry about going to school far away. I dream of becoming a doctor in the future to treat the people in the village, so that they do not have to cross the forest every time they are sick.”
As for Ha Thu Giang, class 7B, she has another dream: "I want to become a teacher so that one day I can return to work at the school where I first learned to read."
Teacher Nguyen Tan Ngoc, a teacher who has been working in Tam Lu for many years, said: “The new school will help teachers feel secure in teaching and students have better accommodation. For us, this is not only a joy, but also a deep concern of the Party, the State and the people of the whole country for education in the highlands.”
For us, this is not only a joy, but also the deep concern of the Party, State and People of the whole country for education in mountainous areas.

That joy spread through the eyes of Mrs. Luc Thi Luu, parent of Ha Duy Binh, class 9B, Tam Lu Secondary School: "From now on, our children will have spacious schools, no longer have to worry about floods or long roads blocking their way to class. Our dream of many years has now come true."
On the local government side, Mr. Pham Ba Chien, Chairman of Tam Lu Commune People's Committee, affirmed: "The new school is not only an educational project, but also a mark of trust and solidarity towards the border. From the first "bricks" today, we believe that a new generation of students - with knowledge and aspirations - will continue to build the homeland in the border area to become more and more prosperous."

In Na Meo commune, the new school was started on a land covered in fog all year round. The rugged terrain, traffic disruption, and frequent floods and landslides have made studying here never easy for children.

Thao Thi Thuy Linh, a 9A2 student at Na Meo Ethnic Boarding Secondary School, who lives in the Mong Che Lau village, nearly 20 km from the school, said: “We are allowed to stay at the school and receive food support from the State. But the accommodation is very cramped, the whole school has only 6 rooms but more than 160 students. We are still happy because we have teachers and friends, but we always hope to have a new school.”
Linh smiled gently, then continued: “Even though the new school will be completed in 2026, when I will have graduated, I am still very happy. The students in the future will live in a more spacious and comfortable place. The students in the next class will study better and be taken care of more.”
People of Na Meo commune attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
Mr. Chung Truong Thanh, Principal of Son Thuy Primary School, Na Meo Commune, shared: “Na Meo has a rugged terrain, often suffering from flash floods, landslides. Many children have to drop out of school and follow their parents to the fields. Our school has to maintain 3 separate locations so that students do not drop out, but the facilities are poor, and we cannot organize boarding. Therefore, the investment in building the Na Meo Primary and Secondary Boarding School is extremely valuable. It not only helps students to have a comprehensive education, but also contributes to the sustainable development of the border area, narrowing the gap between the mountainous and lowland areas.”

Meanwhile, in Tam Thanh commune, the drizzle was still falling lightly. However, in Mo village - where the groundbreaking ceremony for Tam Thanh Primary and Secondary Boarding School took place, teachers, students and people arrived very early, everyone carrying a mixture of joy and emotion.
Traveling dozens of kilometers, passing through bumpy dirt roads, red dust in the dry season, and slippery mud in the rainy season, but every year, 100% of students still regularly go to class, because they are eager to learn, to write, to calculate, to dream of a brighter future.
Mr. Vi Anh Dung, Vice Principal of Tam Thanh Secondary School, said: “The school currently has more than 300 students, mainly Thai ethnic people. They have to travel dozens of kilometers, through bumpy dirt roads, red dust in the dry season, and slippery mud in the rainy season. However, every year 100% of the students still come to class regularly, because they are eager to learn, to write, to calculate, and to dream of a brighter future."
Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee Nguyen Ngoc Tien presented warm coats to students of Tam Thanh Primary and Secondary School.
But the difficulties do not stop at the long distance. The lack of facilities, functional rooms, and cramped dormitories have affected teaching and learning. “We always wished for a new, more spacious and comfortable school, and today that dream has come true,” said Mr. Dung.
Ms. Luong Thi Thuy in Kham village, who has two children studying at the school, said: “Seeing the children's difficult journey to school makes me feel so sorry. Now that the State has invested in building a new school, we are so happy. The new school will be a place for the children to study, nurture their dreams and change their lives.”
It is known that Tam Thanh Primary and Secondary Boarding School in Mo village will be renovated, upgraded and expanded to 26 classes with 710 students, with a total investment of 147 billion VND. When completed, the school will meet national standards, meet good teaching and learning conditions, and contribute to improving the quality of education in border areas.
The groundbreaking ceremony of four inter-level boarding schools in Thanh Hoa was accompanied by the joy of 72 schools across the country on the morning of November 9. This is not only an educational event, but also a place to place many beliefs and expectations for a generation of students in the "border" region of the Fatherland.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of primary and secondary boarding schools in the border communes on the morning of November 9, the Yen Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School.
As the Prime Minister always emphasizes: “Each school will be a place to sow letters, nurture knowledge, light up dreams, and realize aspirations”. This is also the fulcrum for teachers to “stay in the village”, “sow letters”, “protect the country” with all their heart and love for the profession.
