Over the past period, the school has always been at the forefront of activities to help ethnic minority students achieve "Intellectual equality for equality among ethnic groups"; affirming its role and position as a multi-system boarding school for ethnic minorities, training and nurturing talented and high-quality ethnic minority students, especially in improving foreign language and information technology skills, meeting the increasingly strong demands of digital transformation in the northern mountainous provinces in the current period.

In recent years, 100% of students in the ethnic minority boarding school have passed their graduation exams, and 100% of them have been admitted to universities, colleges, and preparatory universities, with many achieving university entrance exam scores of 27 points or higher. Each year, 15 to 20 students win national-level academic awards and gold medals in national and international science and technology research competitions. In the 2023-2024 academic year, the school had 19 national-level outstanding students (including 2 first prizes), and 2 scientific research projects in South Korea won gold medals.

The school prioritizes improving the professional skills and political theory knowledge of its staff, teachers, and employees. In the 2023-2024 academic year, two teachers pursued postgraduate studies; two teachers were sent to attend advanced political theory courses. The school also ensured that its management staff and teachers fully participated in training courses organized by the Committee for Ethnic Minorities, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Provincial People's Committee, and relevant departments and agencies.

The school excels in its mission of educating students in preserving and promoting national cultural identity and fostering unity among ethnic groups. It also effectively cares for the well-being of students, staff, and teachers.
