After many years, education in this mountainous district, which still faces many difficulties, has reaped its first "sweet fruits".

With a perfect score of 10/10 in the specialized subject exam, the two students have become the pride of Da Bac Town Secondary School.
This achievement is not only the result of the students' spirit of overcoming difficulties and will to rise up, but also a testament to the positive transformation of education in the mountainous district of Da Bac.
