From early morning, Nguyen Van Troi Primary School (Binh Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) was bustling with excitement waiting for first graders to return to school for the 2025-2026 school year. The principal, teachers, and school staff were present very early to welcome parents bringing their children to school.
The joyful atmosphere spread throughout the first day of school, helping first graders feel a positive and friendly learning environment, so that every day at school is truly a happy day.
Ms. Pham Thi Anh Thu, the school's principal, said that this year the school welcomed nearly 400 first graders. On the first day, the students will participate in activities from 7:30 to 10:30.
After today, the time for first graders to get acquainted with the learning environment will last until September 4 (in the mornings).
Also this morning, Phu Tho Primary School (Phu Tho Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) organized the event "Welcoming first graders", continuing the series of activities "Continuing dreams" with the message of creating a future for a prosperous Vietnam.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Huong, Principal of Phu Tho Primary School, said that in the 2025-2026 school year, the school hopes that every day students go to class will be a happy day, where they can learn, explore and develop comprehensively.
Creative playgrounds such as the Idea Inspiration Club and traditional music programs in collaboration with professional units will be strongly implemented. At the same time, the school continues to promote digital transformation, making technology a bridge to support teachers and students to study more effectively.
In particular, the appearance of the robot friend Tarcas from the planet STEMP left a strong impression on the first day of school. Tarcas is not only a symbol of technology and creativity, but also becomes a companion of students throughout the school year. Together with Tarcas, students are inspired with pride in becoming "Smart Citizens - Creative Cities", ready to embark on a new and exciting learning journey.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Huong, Principal of Phu Tho Primary School, shared: “The first day of school this year is not only the first day that first graders officially put on their white shirts, but also the door that opens to a new world – where they can 'check-in' with Tarcas to begin the journey of continuing their dreams at Phu Tho Primary School".
The 2025-2026 school year is a special year when the education sector operates within the official mechanism of operating two-level local governments (provincial and communal levels) nationwide and reorganizing provinces and cities.
The new Ho Chi Minh City today, after the merger between Ho Chi Minh City (old), Binh Duong province and Ba Ria - Vung Tau province (old) has become the largest metropolis in the country, with the largest educational scale among 34 provinces and cities.
The city's education sector requires the consolidation of resources, expansion of school size, teaching staff and area, requiring flexible and creative adaptability of the entire sector.
The 2025-2026 school year is also the first year of free tuition for 3-month-old preschool children to high school students and those studying general education programs in public educational institutions nationwide.
At the same time, preschool children, high school students, and people studying general education programs in private and public educational institutions are supported with tuition fees.
