On the morning of September 5, the sound of school drums echoed across Truong Sa, Song Tu Tay, Sinh Ton and Da Tay islands (Khanh Hoa). The neat uniforms of the students stood out against the uniforms of the soldiers. At that moment, the land at the forefront of the waves, thousands of miles away, suddenly became as familiar as any school on the mainland.

Before the opening day, local authorities, organizations, cadres, soldiers, teachers and parents together swept the yard, decorated the classroom, prepared each notebook and each small flag. Amidst the harsh sun and wind, the scene was simple but warm, like a picture of the love between the army and the people taking care of the green shoots at the forefront.

During the opening ceremony, the children of Truong Sa happily entered the new school year, holding hands with their friends, looking for their parents, teachers, and the affectionate gaze of the soldiers who are protecting the sovereignty of the islands day and night. The sound of the school drum on the island seemed to blend with the sound of the waves, ringing longer and deeper.

Truong Sa Special Zone – the sacred island area of ​​the Fatherland always faces many difficulties in terms of weather, infrastructure, and distance from the mainland. Therefore, the opening ceremony here has a special meaning: affirming the attention of the Party, State, and Army to the cause of education , adding motivation for teachers and students to overcome difficulties and strive forward.

On a small platform set up in the middle of the schoolyard, the island commanders and local leaders gave gifts, encouraged teachers and students, and placed their trust in the young generation of Truong Sa - the young buds who are good-natured, studious, and nurture the aspiration to build their homeland and country.

The colors of the school year at the wavehead are connected to the colors of the school year across the country. From Ha Giang to Ca Mau, from the mainland to the islands, with the same school drum sound, the same belief.

The soldier’s hand repainting the stairs for the students, the mother wrapping a scarf around her child in the sea breeze, the teacher fixing the national flag in front of the class. These simple images show that, no matter where, the career of educating people is still respected and cherished.
