Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh visited Chu Van An High School in Ha Noi on Saturday, hailing the school's achievements.
Manh congratulated the school's teachers and students on their forthcoming academic year, saying they should maintain and improve their levels of teaching and studying in order to achieve even more.
The Party leader took the opportunity to encourage the education sector to continue to improve the management and quality of education, promoting strong and comprehensive changes in the sector.
He stressed the ultimate goal of the education-training sector and socialist school system of educating pupils to have greater aspirations for the motherland.
Chu Van An is considered a cradle for outstanding students. Many students from the school have gone on to become patriotic personalities, intellectuals and leaders of the Party and State such as Ngo Gia Tu, Nguyen Van Cu and Pham Van Dong. President Ho Chi Minh visited it three times and the one hundred-year old school has been recognised as a national cultural and historical site.
On the same day, President Nguyen Minh Triet attended Thang Long Junior Secondary School in Ha Noi and beat the ceremonial drum to signal the opening of the new academic year.
Speaking to teachers and students at the school, President Triet highlighted the school's achievements over the past year.
He asked every teacher and officer at the school to uphold tradition and chalk up even greater achievements in the future, so that their school deserves to bear the name of the capital city and its glorious thousand-year history.
The State leader told the students to exert more efforts in their studies, practise good morals and actively take part in social activities.
Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan visited Xuan Hong A Primary school in northern Nam Dinh Province where former Party General Secretary Truong Chinh had studied. Doan said she hoped teachers would initiate new and advanced teaching methods despite the many difficulties they were facing. "Each teacher should be a great example for their students to follow," she said.
Doan also asked the students to continue to uphold its great tradition through hard work to improve their knowledge and life skills.
In the southern province of Binh Phuoc, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan beat the drum to open the new school year at Quang Trung High School on Saturday. Despite its recent establishment in 2002, the school has received many national awards for its excellent students and teachers and was ranked 12th out of 200 top schools, according to the Ministry of Education and Training. Over the past eight years, 100 per cent of its students have passed the national graduation exams and every year, its students achieve some of the highest scores in the country.
Nhan congratulated the school's students and teachers for their outstanding achievements. He said the school should not only be a place where students were well trained in specific subjects, but also a hub to train the country's elite. He added that it was extremely necessary to invest in facilities and infrastructure for such schools in provincial areas. — VNS
