Present at Hoa Son Secondary School during a break time activity, we were surprised to see the sweet and profound folk songs about the homeland and people of Nghe An being sung and danced very gracefully by the students of the whole school.

Tran Van Linh, a 9B student at Hoa Son Secondary School, shared that thanks to being exposed to folk songs every day, now all 280 students at Hoa Son Secondary School know how to sing folk songs and love folk songs more.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu Hien - Principal of Hoa Son Secondary School said: In order to arouse students' passion for singing and love for folk songs, thereby preserving and promoting the identity of Nghe folk songs, in 2014 the school introduced Nghe folk songs into daily breaktime activities and in-class and extracurricular activities. At first, there were many difficulties, but with the enthusiastic support of parents and the students' enthusiasm, this activity was very successful. Now it has become a traditional activity and indispensable in the school's weekday breaktime activities. In addition, during extracurricular activities, the school's Board of Directors has directly directed the Literature Group to organize extracurricular activities through folk song clubs and folk song festivals on holidays.

Teacher Nguyen Van Linh - Deputy Head of the Department of Education and Training of Anh Son district said: In Anh Son district, Hoa Son Secondary School is the first school to include Nghe folk songs in group activities during class time and has created a special impression. In the 2017-2018 school year, the Department of Education and Training of Anh Son district has planned and directed 22 primary schools and 19 secondary schools in the district to include folk songs in extracurricular activities of the school.

Bringing folk songs into schools is not simply teaching folk songs but also helping students realize the great values ​​of folk songs, thereby helping them appreciate and love them. Not only that, bringing folk songs into schools will contribute to orienting and arousing love and passion for the precious heritage of the homeland for the young generation, especially the generation of students sitting in school chairs.
