Following the conclusion of the first course on the Thai ethnic script, the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee, the District People's Committee, the District Culture Department of Quy Hop District, the People's Committee of Chau Cuong Commune, and the Thai Ethnic Script Learning Club of Chau Cuong Commune held a conference to evaluate the quality, effectiveness, and impact of the Thai script learning club model, and to address the strengths and weaknesses in the process of compiling the content and instructional materials for learning the Thai script by author Sam Van Binh.

Following the conclusion of the first course on the Thai ethnic script, the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee, the District People's Committee, the District Culture Department of Quy Hop District, the People's Committee of Chau Cuong Commune, and the Thai Ethnic Script Learning Club of Chau Cuong Commune held a conference to evaluate the quality, effectiveness, and impact of the Thai script learning club model, and to address the strengths and weaknesses in the process of compiling the content and instructional materials for learning the Thai script by author Sam Van Binh.

Two books of instructional materials for learning the Thai ethnic script.

The conference's conclusion showed that the club's direction was correct in the process of building a model district for ethnic minority culture in the mountainous region, affirming that the club's existence and continued development are entirely justified and in line with the aspirations of the vast majority of people of the ethnic groups in Quy Hop district. Based on this conclusion, the Chau Cuong Commune People's Committee directed the Thai script learning club of the commune to cooperate with author Sam Van Binh to revise some incomplete sections of Volume 1 of the Lai Xu Thai script learning guide and to print Volume II of the Lai Tay Thai script learning guide to continue the second course of this class.

After completing the printing and enrollment process, the Thai Script Learning Club recently officially launched its second course – the Lai Tay script class for the Thai ethnic group – at the Chau Cuong Community Education Center. Encouragingly, over 80 students registered and attended the first lessons of the Lai Tay script. Of these, 32 are high school students. The remaining students are officials and Party members working in villages and various departments within the Chau Cuong Commune People's Committee who participated in the first Lai Xu script course and are now continuing their studies. In total, nearly 60 returning students are participating in this course, demonstrating that the Thai script class has attracted the attention of the majority of the Thai ethnic community here. Despite facing many difficulties regarding school facilities and funding, the Chau Cuong Commune People's Committee and the Club's management board have made every effort to create the best possible conditions for the class to be maintained and successfully completed, just like the first course. It is known that the People's Committee of Bac Son commune is currently working on a project to request the People's Committee of Quy Hop district to establish a Thai ethnic script learning club to fulfill the aspirations of the people of Bac Son. The leadership of the Pu Huong Nature Reserve will also send staff to participate in this class. This demonstrates the existence and correct direction of the Quy Hop Thai ethnic script learning club.
