(Baonghean.vn) - Previously, students from mountainous areas had to study far from home or stay in rented houses, or take refuge in dilapidated thatched houses built temporarily near the school. But now they can stay at school and enjoy all the benefits and policies for boarding students.

The Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities model for secondary school students was first put into operation in Nghe An from the 2010-2011 school year in the mountainous district of Ky Son. After 10 years of operation, the province now has 35 schools concentrated in mountainous districts. Photo: MH

Putting the model of the ethnic minority boarding secondary school into operation is considered a huge turning point for education in mountainous areas. Studying at this school, students no longer have to worry about accommodation or daily meals. Photo: MH

For boarding students, they enjoy all the preferential policies for students who are children of ethnic minorities. That is, they are supported with food expenses equal to 40% of the basic salary/month, and are supported with housing expenses for students who are self-sufficient in housing because the school cannot arrange boarding in the school, the support level is equal to 10% of the basic salary/month; they are supported with 15 kg of rice/month (support level does not exceed 9 months/school year).

Mức hỗ trợ này dẫu chưa phải là nhiều nhưng những năm qua bằng nỗ lực của các nhà trường, hơn 11.000 học sinh là con em đồng bào dân tộc thiểu số ở Nghệ An đã được chăm lo đầy đủ.

Although this level of support is not much, over the past years, thanks to the efforts of schools, more than 11,000 students who are children of ethnic minorities in Nghe An have been fully taken care of.

Bên cạnh mô hình trường bán trú, Nghệ An cũng phát triển mô hình trường nội trú

In addition to the semi-boarding school model, Nghe An also developed a boarding school model. After 10 years of implementation, the whole province has developed from 1 school into 8 ethnic minority boarding schools with 105 classrooms and 2,774 students (including 2 high schools and 6 middle schools in Tuong Duong, Con Cuong, Quy Hop, Que Phong, Quy Chau, Ky Son districts) with nearly 3,000 ethnic minority students studying.

The school currently has nearly 400 students studying. Photo: MH

Along with high school and junior high school, in recent years, the model of Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities in primary schools has also begun to develop in the mountainous areas of Nghe An. In the photo: Students at Muong Long 1 Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities. Photo: MH

Mô hình ban đầu được hoạt động hoàn toàn

The model initially operated completely "spontaneous" in Ky Son district with each school initially having only about 20-30 students. The implementation of the model was completely voluntary on the part of the teachers. Most of the boarding students at the primary level live far from the main school and are mainly concentrated from grades 3 to 5. Photo: MH

Currently, the primary boarding school model has been expanded to the districts of Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Con Cuong ... but operating conditions are still very difficult, especially in terms of food, accommodation and living. At many schools in Ky Son, on average, boarding students still have to live in crowded rooms with 40 students per room. Photo: MH

At Muong Tip 2 Primary School (Ky Son), due to lack of rooms, the school had to use classrooms as bedrooms for students. Photo: MH

Điều kiện sinh hoạt ở Trường PT DTBT Tiểu học Mường Ải 2 cũng không dễ dàng. Tuy nhiên, nhờ có mô hình này việc duy trì sỉ số và nâng cao chât lượng dạy học mới được đảm bảo. Ảnh: MH

Living conditions at Muong Ai 2 Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities are not easy. However, thanks to this model, maintaining student numbers and improving teaching quality are guaranteed. Photo: MH

Từ hiệu quả của mô hình này, sắp tới Nghệ An sẽ tiếp tục rà sát để xây dựng các mô hình Trường PT DTBT tiểu học trên toàn tỉnh. Đây sẽ là căn cứ để các trường được đổi tên trường và được thực hiện các chế độ chính sách theo như quy định của trường bán trú.

From the effectiveness of this model, Nghe An will continue to review and build models of primary boarding schools for ethnic minorities throughout the province. This will be the basis for schools to change their names and implement policies and regimes according to the regulations of boarding schools. The implementation of this model is also the basis for schools to implement the 2018 General Education Program, moving towards merging separate schools and helping students fully enjoy the programs, especially access to IT and Foreign Language subjects.
