In the middle of the Tan Ky mountains and forests, there is a small school named 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 2 campuses with a total of 518 students, of which Thai ethnic students account for over 70%. This is a favorable condition for the school to implement traditional cultural education activities in a systematic and effective manner. Photo: Duc Anh

Witnessing a class at class 5B, Tien Ky Primary School (Tan Ky) taught by teacher Le Thi Huyen, we can see that the students here are very interested in the subject of their ethnic culture. Photo: Duc Anh

Lectures are presented through vivid slides, combining images and text, helping students access knowledge in an intuitive and easy-to-understand way. Photo: Duc Anh

Not only stopping at theory, Ms. Huyen also brings to the class traditional musical instruments such as gongs, bamboo flutes... so that the students can directly listen, touch and feel the sounds of their ethnic culture. Photo: Duc Anh

In Tien Ky commune, where a high proportion of Thai people live, many traditional cultural features are still preserved in daily life. Photo: Duc Anh

This is the foundation for students to be imbued with the spirit of national culture from an early age. Photo: Duc Anh

Not only that, traditional festivals such as the Buon Xao Festival, which are held annually, help children understand and become more deeply attached to their ethnic culture. Photo: Duc Anh

However, in the current context, when children are increasingly exposed to social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok..., the attraction of modern cultural forms is also gradually affecting their interest in traditional culture. Faced with this situation, Tien Ky Primary School continues to persevere in innovating teaching methods, focusing on practical experience, flexibly combining theory and practice to keep national culture from being lost over time.
