    Nguyen Nhu Kon Tum

    Nguy Nhu Kon Tum (1913 - 1991) was a leading professor in Vietnam at one time . Professor Nguy Nhu Kon Tum was originally from Hue but was born and raised in Kon Tum. His father was Mr. Nguy Nhu Bich - a postmaster , a famous doctor, who for many years took his wife and children to work in the Central Highlands and Laos, often naming his children born there after taking the names of the places. Therefore, in addition to Nguy Nhu Kon Tum, his older sister was named Nguy Nhu Ban Me Thuot.
    After the historic September 2, 1945 of the country, President Ho Chi Minh met this professor and invited him to become the Minister of Education (now the Ministry of Education and Training ). In response to Uncle Ho, he tactfully refused: "The Minister of Education must be someone with extensive expertise in social sciences and humanities to manage and innovate well. I am a natural scientist, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the task."
    After that, he nominated Professor Nguyen Van Huyen to hold the position of Ministerof Education , and for his part, he happily accepted the position of Director of Secondary Education (under the Ministry of Education).
