How to keep students from being absent from school early for Tet at a highland school in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - In the days leading up to Tet, students in some localities in the mountainous region of Nghe An often have the habit of "taking an early Tet holiday". In order for students to attend school regularly, Nam Can Ethnic Minority Boarding Secondary School (Ky Son district) organized Tet activities to keep students.

In previous years, many Mong students often took Tet holiday early, affecting teaching and learning. To retain students, the school organized collective activities with the content of making cakes to celebrate Tet. Photo: Sach Nguyen |

"We want to create a warm atmosphere like a real Tet holiday so that the students can feel its meaning," said Mr. Phu. Photo: Sach Nguyen |

| Teachers who are proficient in "their craft" are mobilized by the school to guide the students. Most of the students are confused when they first start wrapping. After being guided a few times, many students eagerly follow along. Photo: Nguyen Book |

| “It’s so difficult, uncle. Before, I only saw how to wrap banh chung and banh tet on TV, but I had never wrapped them before. At home, we don’t eat this kind of cake during Tet, and no one wraps it, so I can’t make it. Luckily, thanks to the teachers organizing the event, I learned how to make it. When we go home tomorrow for Tet, I will wrap it for everyone to eat,” a male 8th grade student said with a smile. Photo: Sach Nguyen |

Team leader Nguyen Van Dai said that in previous years, when Tet was near, many Mong students were absent from school because they wanted to stay home to play and help their parents. When teachers organized Tet right at school, this situation decreased significantly. Photo: Dao Tho |
