Although Na Ta School, Thuong Giao Commune, Ba Be District has only 2 teachers "living in the village", the small school campus is always neat, clean and filled with colorful flowers. The study corner, play corner, experience corner... are beautifully designed, ensuring the correct criteria of modern education.
The school has 30 children, divided into 2 classes, 100% of the children are ethnic minorities, of which 1/3 are children from poor and near-poor households in extremely disadvantaged villages. Ms. Pham Thi Bach shared: The classrooms here are old because they were built a long time ago, and the learning materials are limited, so the teachers always try to create more toys and teaching equipment from available materials to help the children learn better.
She also spent time researching many topics and initiatives from daily teaching practice such as: Initiative "Some measures to help ethnic minority children in kindergarten classes 5-6 years old to be bold and confident in communication"; Initiative "Improving the effectiveness of organizing play activities in corners for 5-6 year old children in kindergartens"... which were highly appreciated by the district and provincial science councils.
“As a teacher, I hope that children will always study in an environment with adequate material and spiritual resources to develop best. To do that, I myself constantly improve my knowledge and boldly propose to the Board of Directors new teaching methods that are suitable for the characteristics of the class and the local situation. Especially, I understand children's psychology to stimulate their creativity, curiosity and interest,” Ms. Bach shared.
In 12 years of working in the education sector, Ms. Bach has been attached to thousands of students who are children of ethnic minorities. Ms. Bach said that more than ten years ago, when she first started working at Na Pha school (Dong Phuc commune), the classrooms were just made of planks and the roofs were made of cement. The majority of students at this school were Dao and Mong ethnic groups. The village had no electricity, the roads were bumpy and steep, and when it rained, the mud was slippery, "every 3 steps forward, you had to take 1 step back", many lessons both the teacher and the students were dirty...
The difficulties at that time made many young teachers waver, but Ms. Bach still persevered and devoted all her love to her poor students. Some children did not have money to pay for their meals, Ms. Bach and other teachers in the school voluntarily contributed money to support them and did not collect lunch fees. She also mobilized and donated more clothes, blankets, boots, and sandals to help the children reduce their hardship.
Ms. Nong Thi Trang, a parent of a student, said: “Ms. Bach is an enthusiastic teacher who loves her job, so I feel very secure and confident in letting my child study here. After studying with Ms. Bach, I see that my child is happier and healthier. She always encourages my family and guides me on how to take care of my child in cold weather, and how to teach my child scientifically, so I feel very secure…”
From her love for children, teacher Pham Thi Bach has applied teaching topics in the direction of innovation and creativity. In the 5 years from 2019 to present, Ms. Bach has had 4 initiatives recognized by the District Science Council and 2 initiatives recognized by the Provincial Science Council; 5 consecutive years of winning the title of Emulation Fighter at the grassroots level, and many Certificates of Merit and Certificates of Merit at all levels. Recently, Ms. Pham Thi Bach was honored to be 1 of 251 outstanding teachers nationwide in 2024, commended and rewarded by the Ministry of Education and Training.
Ms. Nguyen Mai Hien, Principal of Thuong Giao Kindergarten, Ba Be District, Bac Kan Province, commented: “Ms. Bach is a young, energetic, creative teacher in her duties and always a pioneer in the school's activities and emulation movements. Active, enthusiastic and has many ideas, creativity, and good solutions to effectively care for children at school and in class groups…”
More than 10 years of working in particularly difficult schools has helped Ms. Pham Thi Bach gain more experience and cultivate more love for the villages. Ms. Bach said that for teachers "in the villages", the most meaningful gift in life is the joy of seeing children in difficult areas have delicious meals, warm clothes and shoes to go to class and above all, the teachers have the recognition, respect and love of colleagues and fellow villagers. That is also the motivation for teachers to overcome difficulties and devote all their love to the young students in the highlands.
