(Baonghean) - This is a literacy class held at Lien Son village school, in Nam Can border commune (Ky Son). The special thing about this class is that it takes place at night, and the students are Mong women aged 25 to 50. Previously, due to poverty and backward customs, they were not allowed to go to class. The teachers are young volunteer intellectuals and officers and soldiers of Economic - Defense Group 4. The class program starts with practicing pronunciation, spelling and performing the simplest calculations...
