Century School
Located by the gentle La River, at the foot of Quan Hoi mountain, reflecting the shadow of Tam Soa wharf, Tung Anh Elementary School (Duc Tho, Ha Tinh) is not just an educational institution. It is a "historical witness", a symbol of the studious spirit of the land of outstanding people. Over a century (1923-2026), the school named after the homeland of the late General Secretary Tran Phu has written a legend of continuity, where the glorious past acts as a launching pad for future aspirations.
The school's history of more than 100 years is a heroic song about resilience.
Tung Anh Elementary School today appears spacious and imposing with a campus of more than 9,000 m2.
The synchronous investment of tens of billions of VND has gradually formed a modern education ecosystem here: 100% of classrooms, standard functional rooms, multi-purpose buildings, green libraries, and computer rooms equipped with smart audiovisual equipment.
A prominent highlight, clearly showing the philosophy of education with students as the center, is that 100% of classrooms and living rooms are equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a safe and pleasant learning environment in harsh weather conditions. Along with that, the system of functional rooms, libraries, playgrounds, and practice yards is scientifically planned, creating a pedagogical space "bright - green - clean - beautiful - safe".
In particular, the dining area, boarding house and smart toilet system are built spaciously and fully equipped. Not stopping at being "sufficiently usable", the school also boldly invests in advanced teaching equipment to meet the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program and to welcome the trend of digital transformation.
The aspiration of education in the new era
In that space, a "modern - quality - humane" educational environment is being cultivated every day, becoming a solid launching pad for Tung Anh students to confidently integrate, continue and glorify the glorious tradition of their ancestors in the homeland of the late General Secretary Tran Phu.
Meritorious Teacher Pham Thi Phuong Le - Principal of the school, shared with emotion: "Working at a school with a history of more than 100 years is an honor, but also a great responsibility. We not only teach literacy, but also must preserve the traditional flame that previous generations have painstakingly lit up.
Tung Anh Elementary School has painstakingly built a pedagogical collective that is both rosy and specialized, firm in professional bravery, and profound in the spirit of dedication.
From that human foundation, the quality of the school's education is affirmed by telling numbers: every year, the rate of students completing the program reaches nearly 100%; many students win high prizes at provincial and national level intellectual competitions and playgrounds. From Young Informatics to Phu Dong Health Festival, student Tung Anh always confidently shows his bravery, affirming the position of a school with a rich tradition of studiousness.
Not stopping at teaching literacy, the school pays special attention to educating morality, life skills and fostering revolutionary pride for students. Through extracurricular activities, taking care of local historical sites, or emotional articles published in specialized newspapers and magazines, students are nurtured in personality, learn to live a compassionate life, and be responsible for themselves, their families and their homeland.
The gold medal of Tung Anh Elementary School's achievements therefore makes anyone respect it: Second-class Labor Medal, Third-class; Certificate of Merit from the Prime Minister, Ministry of Education and Training; being one of the three first primary schools in Ha Tinh to meet national standards; many Excellent Emulation Flags of the Provincial People's Committee. In particular, in 2025, the school excellently won the A Prize in the Grassroots Radio Contest on digital transformation propaganda organized by Ha Tinh province.
However, the biggest reward does not lie in the titles, but in the maturity of tens of thousands of students who have stepped out of this school. Many of them have become generals, scientists, professors, doctors, and leading cadres at all levels, contributing to glorifying the "scientific village" of Tung Anh.
More than a century of sowing seeds and harvesting fruit, Tung Anh Elementary School today still persistently continues to write golden pages of history with dedication, aspiration for innovation and belief in people.
