Teachers who received the Tran Dai Nghia Award for the second time.

Speaking to reporters, teacher Luong Xuan Thanh said that this year the school is holding its graduation ceremony on Vietnamese Teachers' Day, November 20th. This is a special gift for the entire student body and teachers of the school.

Teacher Luong Xuan Thanh said that during his performing career, he suffered two injuries to his knee and back, the last one in 2015. Since then, he had to stop performing on stage. Not letting his spirits sink, he decided to switch to management and teaching. Using the experience he had honed throughout his career, Mr. Thanh brought a fresh perspective to the Ho Chi Minh City College of Dance.

For Mr. Thanh, although he can no longer perform under the spotlight, seeing his students graduate and shine on stage always brings him a smile, considering it the priceless happiness of his profession. "Dance is a very special art form. Formal training programs last 4-6 years; the learning time is long, but the career lifespan is short, and the remuneration in the industry is still limited. Therefore, I deeply cherish and appreciate the young students who persevere in this profession," Mr. Thanh confided.

At the ceremony, Ms. Tran Thi Dieu Thuy, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, highly appreciated the achievements of vocational education institutions in recent years. Ho Chi Minh City has consistently achieved high results in national-level competitions. Furthermore, students from vocational schools in Ho Chi Minh City have also made significant contributions to the overall achievements of the Vietnamese delegation at the ASEAN and World Skills Competitions.
