On January 26th, the Ministry of Education and Training and the People's Committee of Tuyen Quang province solemnly held the inauguration ceremony of the National Ministry of Education historical site (1951-1954) in Yen Nguyen, Chiem Hoa, Tuyen Quang.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan, Secretary of the Tuyen Quang Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Sang Vang, along with many generations of officials, teachers, students, and people of Tuyen Quang province, attended the event.

Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan stated that during the nine-year resistance war against French colonialism, central government agencies had to evacuate and relocate from Hanoi to rural areas. The Ministry of National Education moved to localities such as Ha Dong and Phu Tho, and from 1951 to 1954, the Ministry's headquarters were located in Khuon Tru village, Yen Nguyen commune, Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province.

During this period, the main tasks of the Education sector were to organize teaching and learning during wartime; continue developing the mass education program, promote literacy and adult education; implement educational reforms; and redirect and develop higher and professional education.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan stated that during the four years the Ministry of National Education worked at the facility, it witnessed the growth of the country's education sector.
