Educating love for homeland from school and field trips
Love for the homeland and country is not an abstract thing but is sown from very familiar things in the school environment. In Can Tho, schools have effectively integrated traditional, moral and personality education into the curriculum through the subjects of History, Geography, Local Education, etc. Students not only learn knowledge from books but also have their pride in the land they live in aroused through heroic historical stories and typical cultural features of the Southwest region. In recent times, the education sector has launched many competitions such as: storytelling about Can Tho; a contest to promote and introduce books and cultural heritage associated with city tourism called "Can Tho - The City I Love", a painting contest called "Small hands draw big dreams"; Responding to the writing contest "Deep memories of teachers and school",... Through the contests, students have the opportunity to learn about local history and culture, contributing to nurturing love for their homeland, fostering beautiful ideals and national pride in their hearts.
In addition to classroom lessons, primary schools in Can Tho city pay special attention to experiential education through field trips and practical learning at famous cultural and historical sites such as: visiting the Museum of the Armed Forces of Military Region 9; Can Tho Museum; Nha Rong Wharf in Ho Chi Minh City;... At the same time, the school also coordinates to organize many useful practical activities for students to return to their roots to educate them about revolutionary traditions, love for their homeland and pride in their nation, specifically: visiting the Hung King Temple - learning about the origins of the nation; visiting and studying at the place where the An Nam Communist Party cell was established at the Co Do plantation - the first Communist Party of Vietnam cell in Can Tho, the historical and cultural relic site of the Plum Garden Base...
Not stopping there, the Department of Education and Training also proactively cooperated with agencies and units to expand the scale of experiential education, helping children access many cultural and historical values characteristic of the locality such as organizing a tourism promotion program in schools combined with traditional education, local cultural heritage with the name " Can Tho in my heart", organizing propaganda and filming at 02 locations: Can Tho clean farm and Bui Huu Nghia Valedictorian Memorial Area. In practice, each trip is not only a picnic for children to have fun and healthy entertainment, but also a form of vivid education, helping them better understand the cultural values, historical relics and people of Can Tho . From there, children are more attached, proud and aware of preserving and promoting the precious heritages of their homeland.
Accompanying children: Responsibility of the whole society
Imbued with Uncle Ho's teaching: "For the benefit of ten years, we must plant trees, for the benefit of a hundred years, we must cultivate people", Can Tho city always considers child care as one of its key tasks. In Can Tho, child care has always received deep attention from all levels, sectors and the whole society. In 2024, the city has implemented many practical activities to support and protect children, especially those in difficult circumstances. Specifically, in the Month of Action for Children 2025, the Department of Health coordinated with the Can Tho City Youth Union to organize the Launching Ceremony of the "Month of Action for Children" 2025 with the theme "Prioritizing resources to complete goals for children". At the event, the City Department of Health also mobilized support for 20 scholarships (each worth 1,000,000 VND) and gifts for 20 students with difficult circumstances who have overcome difficulties to study well in the city.
In addition, the City's Association for Promotion of Education has awarded 201 scholarships to students who have overcome difficulties to excel in their studies in the area. In addition, in the 2024-2025 school year, the City's Youth Union Councils at all levels have also implemented many activities to care for and support team members and children and have helped more than 6,150 children in difficult circumstances such as: giving scholarships, learning tools and sponsoring students in difficult circumstances, with a total value of nearly 1 billion VND. Many useful playgrounds and creative models for children have been effectively maintained such as "Military Semester", "I learn to be a People's Police soldier"; English speaking contest with the theme "Thot Not Children Reaching Out to the World "; "Historical Tradition Education" model; “Electronic bookshelf”... These activities not only demonstrate the concern of all levels and sectors for children but also contribute to creating a safe and healthy living environment, helping children develop comprehensively physically and mentally.
All levels and sectors are aware that the online environment currently has a profound impact on the formation of children's personalities. With the aim of raising awareness and responsibility of Party committees, authorities and people in protecting and supporting children to interact healthily and creatively in the online environment, the city has issued Plan No. 151/KH-UBND dated July 11, 2022 to implement the Program "Protecting and supporting children to interact healthily and creatively in the online environment for the period 2021-2025", to both meet the needs of learning and entertainment, and equip children of all ages with knowledge to protect themselves and know how to interact safely in the online environment. Thereby, creating all good conditions for children to develop comprehensively, both intellectually, physically and mentally. These efforts not only protect children from the risk of being harmed by the digital environment, but also teach them behavioral skills, information filtering, and becoming brave and civilized digital citizens.
From school books to vivid field trips, the love for Can Tho in the hearts of students is being nurtured every day by the dedication of teachers, the companionship of families and especially the deep care of all levels, sectors and organizations in the whole society. Students not only study and practice but also live in a humane, safe and loving educational environment. President Ho Chi Minh once advised: "Whether Vietnam becomes beautiful or not... depends largely on your studies". That is a responsible advice, expressing Uncle Ho's deep belief in the young generation - the green shoots growing up under the care of the Party, the State and the whole society.
