First, teachers must continuously change the way of guiding learning and educational methods to most attract students. Second, students need to change their awareness, thinking as well as learning and training methods. Third, teachers - students have a friendly, civilized, and intellectual relationship so that they are passionate about practicing and exploring in a safe and happy environment every time they go to school.
Also at the program, the issue of the learning environment was raised by student representatives from class 12A5: What measures will the school take to make students feel happy, safe and respected when going to school?
