Traditional education, arousing national pride

In Hung Yen, a land rich in revolutionary traditions, traditional education for students is being carried out in creative, profound and emotional ways. These activities not only help students understand the history of the nation but also arouse pride, foster patriotism and a sense of responsibility towards their homeland and country.

Teachers and students of Yen Phu Kindergarten (Viet Yen commune) burn incense to commemorate heroic martyrs.

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025), nearly 1,200 students of Tran Quoc Tuan High School participated in the province-wide flag-raising ceremony and arranged the map of Vietnam on August 29 at the school. Teacher Pham Thi Bich Ngoc, Vice Principal of the school, said: This is an activity to educate about tradition and national pride, helping students to deeply remember the sacred image of the Fatherland, foster patriotism and awareness of protecting territorial sovereignty . At the same time, it demonstrates the spirit of solidarity, as each student is a "piece" that together creates the map of the country, thereby nurturing the responsibility of the young generation towards the mountains and rivers of Vietnam.

Over the years, the school has always focused on traditional education through flag-raising ceremonies, extracurricular activities, traditional talks and integration into each subject.

Many parents expressed their impression and emotion at the traditional educational activities at the school. Ms. Tran Thi Lan, whose child is studying at Yen Phu Kindergarten (Viet Yen Commune) shared: The children participated in decorating the classroom, wearing red flags with yellow stars, and accompanied the teacher to burn incense in memory of the heroic martyrs. I was very moved when I saw the children listening attentively, preparing flowers and burning incense in memory of the martyrs. These activities help children develop a love for their homeland and country early on and appreciate the contributions of previous generations.

Along with Tran Quoc Tuan High School and Yen Phu Kindergarten, many schools have promoted traditional education through activities such as "Repaying gratitude", "Remembering the source of water" and practical experiences at military units. Practical activities such as visiting and giving gifts to families with meritorious services, heroic Vietnamese mothers; cleaning martyrs' cemeteries; organizing trips to the source... are regularly organized, spreading profound humanistic values and helping students better understand the responsibilities of today's generation. Many schools also coordinate with military units to organize tours for students to learn about life, practice the style and discipline of soldiers. Nguyen Minh Tam, a student at Nguyen Thien Thuat High School, said: Through the lectures of teachers and extracurricular activities to learn about history, I clearly feel the fierceness of war and the losses of previous generations. Recently, I wore a red flag with a yellow star to participate in the national walking activity "Moving forward with Vietnam". I am very touched and proud to be the descendant of national heroes. I tell myself to study better and live more responsibly to be worthy of that sacrifice.

Accompanying schools in extracurricular activities, many veterans directly told stories, interacted, and passed on the tradition. After meeting students of Bac Duyen Ha High School, veteran Pham Van Lai (who planted the liberation flag on the water tower of Tan Son Nhat airport at 9:30 a.m. on April 30, 1975) confided: Seeing the children eager to learn about history, I feel very happy. They not only want to understand the past, but also learn lessons to build the future. The pride and responsibility of today's young generation is the great hope of the nation.

Traditional educational activities not only help the younger generation better understand the history of the struggle for national independence, but also act as a link between the past and the present, fostering gratitude, arousing the will to rise up and the responsibility to build the homeland and country to become increasingly rich, beautiful and civilized.
