On the afternoon of March 27, in Nham village, the Xuan Hoa Commune Community Learning Center in coordination with Xuan Hoa Primary School organized the opening ceremony of phase 1 literacy classes for ethnic minorities in the area.
Attending the ceremony were leaders of the Commune People's Committee, school representatives and 51 students from Qua and Nham villages.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoan - Vice Chairwoman of the Commune People's Committee, Director of Xuan Hoa Commune Community Learning Center - emphasized that literacy is not only a basic need but also a key to helping people raise awareness, access information and develop the economy.
Local leaders hope that students will make efforts to arrange time, fully participate in classes, and strictly comply with class regulations to achieve good results.
For the teaching staff, the requirement is to innovate teaching methods in a flexible, easy-to-understand direction, suitable to the characteristics of learners who are ethnic minorities.
In addition to conveying basic knowledge, teachers need to integrate content to propagate the Party's guidelines, policies, and laws of the State; guide production skills, labor experience, and preserve national cultural identity.
The class lasts for more than 9 months, with 51 students mainly aged 30 to 55. These are people who have never been to school or have been to school but dropped out, leading to re-literacy.
During the learning period, students will be equipped with basic skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and performing some simple calculations, equivalent to the level from grade 1 to grade 3.
After completing phase 1, students will continue to study phase 2 with knowledge equivalent to grades 4 and 5.
Not only stopping at teaching literacy, the program also integrates content guiding the application of science and technology in production, improving labor efficiency, and developing the household economy.
At the same time, the class is also a propaganda channel to help people better understand the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and local regulations.
The organization of literacy classes in Xuan Hoa commune is of practical significance, contributing to improving people's knowledge and improving the quality of life for people in ethnic minority areas.
From the first letters, learners not only know how to read and write but also have more opportunities to access knowledge, confidently participate in socio-economic activities, and gradually rise out of poverty sustainably.
