For a bright future

(Baonghean) - In recent years, the movement to encourage learning and talent in Hung Nguyen has developed strongly. The rate of studious families, studious clans and communities promoting learning is increasing, contributing to the formation of a learning society...

Coming to Hung My on the occasion of the commune's 2012 conference to honor studious families, studious clans and learning-encouraging communities. Banners and slogans filled the village streets and alleys; loudspeakers blared out examples of studiousness in the upper and lower villages; every household was filled with joy. That was the family of Mrs. Ngo Thi Hanh (Hamlet 1, Hung My), whose husband died early, she was always sick, her son was disabled, and her economic conditions were extremely difficult. Wanting her child to have a bright future, to escape hardship and poverty, she worked hard and saved to raise her child to become a successful student. Her son was an excellent student at school for 12 consecutive years, passed the provincial excellent student exam and is currently a student at Vinh University. Ms. Ngo Thi Xuan, who collected scrap metal alone to raise her child to attend university; Ms. Ngo Thi Hoi, herself disabled, overcame difficulties to raise her child to attend university in Hanoi... Mr. Ngo Thanh Phi - Head of the Association for the Promotion of Learning in Hamlet 1, Hung My excitedly said: "The economic conditions of the people in the hamlet are still difficult, but no matter how poor they are, they will not let their children drop out of school. In recent years, 100% of students have attended school regularly, and no student has dropped out of school. During the "Month of Promotion of Learning" award ceremony in 2012, the hamlet presented gifts to 79 excellent students at all levels, including 2 excellent students at the provincial level and 6 excellent students at the district level. The hamlet was honored as a typical community for promoting learning at the commune level, and attended the conference to honor students at the district level..." Notably, although life is still difficult, the work of promoting learning and talent is actively supported by the people in the hamlet. On average, each year, a family contributes 20,000 VND to the hamlet's promotion of learning fund, and some people even volunteer to contribute 50-100,000 VND; The estimated annual scholarship fund mobilized by the hamlet is about 3-4 million VND. The fund is used to reward excellent students, give gifts to poor students, and encourage families to overcome difficulties to raise their children to study (currently, the whole hamlet has 25 children studying at university).

Leaving hamlet 1 Hung My, we went to the Ho family in Hung Thinh. We were welcomed in the communal house that still smelled of new lime, on the outside wall were horizontal lacquered boards, parallel sentences, and the family's golden plaque of encouragement for learning. Mr. Ho Trong Hieu - Head of the Ho family and head of the family's education promotion committee introduced us with a proud voice: Promoting the tradition of the Ho family's education (Quynh Doi - Quynh Luu), the family's education promotion movement is very active. The descendants of the family all achieved high results, currently the whole family has 1 doctor, 5 masters, 19 university, 2 college; on average, each household has 1.5 children studying at university. In the 2011 - 2012 school year, out of a total of 14 children studying in high school, 13 were excellent students at all levels, accounting for 92%... The descendants who achieved high results were listed in the scholar stele of the golden book of famous people of the Ho family in Vietnam; the descendants who passed the university and college exams were honored with a golden plaque of honor made of red silk and gold letters, solemnly hung in the family's ancestral temple; In addition to being rewarded, excellent students at all levels are also organized to report their achievements to their ancestors at the Ho family temple in Quynh Luu.
