It is known that in the 2017-2018 school year, the rate of students dropping out of school in Thung Khang and Pa Hoc villages was high. Many students were afraid of the long distance and difficult family circumstances, so they always had the idea of dropping out of school.
Faced with that situation, the Commune Women's Union coordinated with departments, branches, unions, Chau Binh Secondary School and the Village Management Board to establish the "No students drop out of school" Club.
The club has 20 members, who are women's association members in the two villages, along with the Management Board of Thung Khang and Pa Hoc villages. Its mission is to visit and encourage students with especially difficult circumstances, reward hard-working students with high academic achievements, and educate families to prevent dropping out of school.
