(Baonghean.vn) - The "post-literacy" class was organized by the 4th Economic and National Defense Brigade. The students are women from Nong 1 and Hua Na villages in Tri Le border commune, Que Phong district.
The class started on August 5th. This class is for people who have had some exposure to literacy but have lost it, so it's called the "Post-Literacy Class". Photo: HP

The class will end in December this year. Mr. Ha Sy Nam (born in 1962), former Party Secretary and head of Nong 1 village, shared: “Opening a class for the villagers is a very practical and meaningful undertaking. Every time we hold a village meeting or disseminate information to illiterate people, it's extremely difficult.” Photo: HP
