According to Mr. Vu Trung Hoan - Principal of Dien Bien Provincial Ethnic Minority Boarding High School, the Russian language teaching program for the 2025-2026 school year is implemented for 5 weeks (from March 23rd). 50 students participate in the course, divided into 2 classes.
Mr. Hoan said that to make the class effective, the school has arranged 2 management staff and 2 teachers in charge to coordinate with lecturers from the Russian Federation.
With 45 lessons, the program focuses on basic content, suitable for people who are exposed to Russian for the first time.
Students have been introduced to the alphabet, pronunciation, common vocabulary and simple communication sentence templates.

In terms of knowledge and skills, most students have initially recognized the Russian alphabet, pronounced basic sounds and memorized some common vocabulary.
The principal added that accessing a new foreign language outside the official curriculum has sparked a positive learning motivation.
This is not only learning another language, but also an opportunity for ethnic minority boarding students to broaden their worldview, preparing for the development of personal abilities in the future" - Mr. Hoan emphasized.
On this occasion, Dien Bien Department of Education and Training awarded certificates of merit to 5 individuals with outstanding achievements in management and teaching. The Provincial Ethnic Minority Boarding High School also awarded certificates of merit to 8 students with excellent academic achievements in the course.
