Investing in digital infrastructure

In January 2025, the People's Committee of Tam Ky City inaugurated two digital libraries at Tran Quoc Toan Primary School and Ly Thuong Kiet Secondary School, and a STEM classroom at Ly Tu Trong Secondary School. All three projects serve the digital transformation of the city's education sector with a total cost of 11.5 billion VND.

The STEM classroom at Ly Tu Trong Secondary School is equipped with STEM kits in various fields: Science and Measurement, Physics, Mechanical and Electrical Physics, Architecture and Construction, Automated Robotics, Intelligent Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), STEM Coding and Software. It also includes multi-purpose machine tools, CNC cutting machines, 3D printers, and practical mechanical tool kits. Furthermore, there is classroom management software for teachers, learning software for students, and learning management features to track student progress, evaluate, and manage classes; as well as a STEM book library for students and teachers to learn and research independently.

Pham Chau Tu Uyen, a student in class 9/5 at Ly Tu Trong Secondary School, shared: “Most of our time in class is spent learning theory, but with the introduction of this STEM classroom, we have the opportunity to practice what we've learned using electronic devices and robots. This helps us absorb the lessons more effectively.”

Promoting digital transformation in education

Besides the STEM classroom at Ly Tu Trong Secondary School, the digital libraries at Tran Quoc Toan Primary School and Ly Thuong Kiet Secondary School are equipped with technological infrastructure such as library membership card printers, barcode printers for document management, barcode scanners for managing borrowing and returning materials, reader check-in gates, library management software, and 20 computers with internet access; they also offer over 3,000 digital books, audiobooks, 3D printed books, and traditional printed books. Since their launch, these digital libraries have attracted a large number of students to research, read, and study in groups. This has contributed to fostering creativity and proactive learning among students, while also developing a reading culture within the schools.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuc Xuan, Principal of Tran Quoc Toan Primary School, said: “To ignite a passion for reading in our students, the school organizes a weekly reading session at the digital library. In addition, during recess, library staff guide students to read books in the library and on online platforms. Furthermore, the school regularly organizes extracurricular activities to attract more students to the digital library.”
