Practical "lessons" from life

Have you ever wondered what truly measures the meaning of a lesson? Is it the words printed on the pages of a book, or the quiet actions that touch the hearts of others?

The images show students from Bui Thi Xuan Primary, Secondary, and High School (Dong Nai province) participating in a meaningful educational activity when the school canceled their Physical Education class to assist the provincial police in delivering relief supplies to flood victims in Dak Lak. Similarly, students from Buon Ma Thuot High School (Buon Ma Thuot ward, Dak Lak province) also participated in sorting relief supplies at the provincial police's receiving point.

Amidst the nationwide focus on the flood-stricken central and central highlands, the image of students under the scorching sun, their clothes soaked with sweat but still beaming with smiles as they sorted and carried relief supplies, transcended the understanding of everyday lessons and truly "touched hearts." This action went beyond the framework of traditional education, becoming a practical and tangible lesson in compassion and community responsibility.

A small flexibility in the school schedule, a timely decision by the school, transformed a real-life situation into a moral education opportunity, creating an invaluable lesson.

In reality, quality education doesn't always require rigid frameworks; sometimes, it simply means integrating schools with life, using the community as a learning environment, and using compassion as the curriculum. Temporarily setting aside textbooks to engage with life doesn't diminish the quality of education; rather, it elevates it to its most meaningful and humane level – a place where hearts capable of love and responsible citizens are nurtured.

Let's replicate practical "lessons" from real life. Schools need to continue seeking out and creating opportunities for students to participate in practical community activities: volunteering, environmental protection, caring for the elderly, orphans, etc. This is the best visual education to transform schools into places that nurture responsible citizens with compassionate hearts and the ability to solve practical problems.
