Schooling in border highlands

By Ngo Vinh Phu

Must read

Education for children in the remote northern highland areas of Vietnam continues to face many challenges. These areas are marked by underdeveloped school facilities, rough terrains, and scattered villages nestled on hills and in valleys. For many children, the journey to school involves navigating rugged, distant roads that can be treacherous, particularly during harsh weather.

However, thanks to collaborative efforts between local governments and charitable organizations, significant improvements have been made in recent years. Schools are now better equipped, and more children are gaining access to education, bringing hope to communities that were previously underserved.
