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.

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.
