Rewarding teachers with the initiative to not accept flowers, instead receiving student health insurance cards

On behalf of the HCM City Social Insurance, Deputy Director Tran Dung Ha presented a certificate of merit from the city's Social Insurance to the collective of Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School (District 6) and teacher Dinh Phu Cuong, the school's principal, who had the initiative to not receive flowers on November 20 but instead receive health insurance cards for students in difficult circumstances.

Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance Tran Dung Ha presented a certificate of merit to principal Dinh Phu Cuong (middle) and the staff of Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School.

On this occasion, Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance awarded 89 scholarships to disadvantaged students of the school with a total amount of 44.5 million VND from the Charity Fund donated by civil servants, public employees and workers of the unit with 1 day's salary.

Congratulations to teachers on the occasion of Vietnamese Teachers' Day 20.11, at the same time, the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance expressed their appreciation for the meaningful act of "requesting not to receive flowers on 20.11, but instead to receive health insurance cards for students" of Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School. This shows the sacrifice, dedication, and devotion of teachers to students.

Previously, on November 13, Mr. Dinh Phu Cuong, Principal of Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School, sent an open letter to philanthropists and parents of students, in which he wrote: "This year, due to the difficult economic situation after the pandemic, through this open letter, the school respectfully requests that instead of giving flowers and cakes, businesses and parents of students please change to giving health insurance cards to students so that the school can give them to the school's disadvantaged students."

In response to this open letter, agencies, units, parents and benefactors have presented nearly 230 health insurance cards to the school. This is both a gift of gratitude to teachers on Vietnamese Teachers' Day and a humane and practical gift, helping families and students in difficult circumstances to receive better health care, especially reducing a large part of the cost of medical examination and treatment.

On the same day, in Dak Lak, representatives of the provincial Social Insurance leadership also organized a ceremony to present certificates of merit to the collective of To Hieu Primary School and teacher Doan Thi Tuyet Yen, the school's principal, for their outstanding achievements in organizing and implementing student health insurance work in the 2023-2024 school year.

Representative of Dak Lak Provincial Social Insurance presented a certificate of merit to Principal Doan Thi Tuyet Yen and the staff of To Hieu Primary School.

Teacher Doan Thi Tuyet Yen said that on November 15, To Hieu Primary School sent an open letter to agencies, businesses, parents and benefactors about the proposal that instead of giving flowers on Vietnamese Teachers' Day, November 20, the school would like to change to giving health insurance cards to students to help disadvantaged students of the school who have not yet participated in health insurance.

After the school wrote an open letter to call for health insurance cards for 55 students, parents and sponsors have donated enough money to buy 43 health insurance cards. Together with the donations from civil servants and employees of Dak Lak province’s Social Insurance, the school will continue to buy health insurance cards for the remaining students…

The initiative of "not accepting flowers on November 20, but instead receiving health insurance cards for students" by Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School and To Hieu Primary School has practical meaning and continues to spread and expand to other schools across the country. In Da Nang, on this occasion, Hai Ba Trung Primary School (Son Tra District) also sent a message hoping to receive the companionship, support and sharing of agencies, businesses, parents and benefactors in helping disadvantaged students participate in health insurance, contributing to ensuring health care for the younger generation.

Open letters and messages from schools not only show teachers' concern for students in difficult circumstances but also receive a lot of praise from the online community and philanthropists.
