Nestled amidst the mountains and forests of Tan Ky, lies a small school called Tien Ky Primary School, where teachers diligently nurture the souls of their students with lessons imbued with love for national culture.

Tien Ky Primary School currently has two campuses with a total of 518 students, of which over 70% are from the Thai ethnic group. This provides favorable conditions for the school to implement traditional cultural education activities in a systematic and effective manner. Photo: Duc Anh

Beyond just theory, Ms. Huyen also brings traditional musical instruments such as gongs and bamboo flutes to the class so that the children can directly hear, touch, and feel the sounds of their ethnic culture. Photo: Duc Anh

In Tien Ky commune, where the Thai ethnic minority makes up a high percentage of the population, many traditional cultural aspects are still preserved in daily life. Photo: Duc Anh

This provides a foundation for students to be deeply immersed in the national cultural spirit from a young age. Photo: Duc Anh

Furthermore, traditional festivals like the Bươn Xao Festival, held annually, help children understand and connect more deeply with their ethnic culture. Photo: Đức Anh

However, in the current context, with children increasingly accessing social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, the allure of modern cultural forms is gradually affecting their interest in traditional culture. Faced with this situation, Tien Ky Primary School continues to persistently innovate its teaching methods, focusing on practical experience and flexibly combining theory and practice to prevent the erosion of national culture over time.
