The literacy class takes place from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at the Tung Huong Village Cultural Center, with officers from the Tam Quang Border Guard Post directly teaching the class. Many women have to walk kilometers to attend. Since the class began, these students have rarely been absent.

From 34 students who participated on the opening day, the number has now increased to 40. And at night, overcoming the difficulties in their lives, the women still manage their household chores and arrive at class on time to equip themselves with literacy skills.
