During the field trip, students from the Khmu, Thai, and Mong ethnic groups learned how to process sticky rice, select banana leaves, and wrap banh chung and banh tet (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) under the guidance of their teachers.
This is a meaningful activity aimed at attracting ethnic minority students to school with more joy, and also provides an opportunity for teachers and students to exchange ideas, strengthening solidarity within the school.
