Happy schools must be for the progress of students

Yesterday (October 21), nearly 500 school principals in the capital attended the workshop "Happy Schools - Our Future". Here, many teachers shared their experiences in building happy school models.

Dr. Nguyen Tung Lam - Vice President of the Vietnam Association of Educational Psychology, President of the Education Council of Dinh Tien Hoang High School (Hanoi) expressed his opinion that there are no bad students. Teachers and schools must have faith in their students.

“Building a happy school must be for the progress of people, the development of teachers and students; in which the principal has a particularly important mission” – Dr. Nguyen Tung Lam emphasized.

Speaking at the workshop, Dr. Nguyen Van Hoa - founder of Nguyen Binh Khiem High Quality Education System (Hanoi) said that a happy school is not a concept, nor a model.

This is a concept that implies the way a school is run to achieve educational goals for the progress of students.

"Happy school is not a model, because if it were a model, it would not be open, and building according to the model would be difficult for schools in different regions" - Dr. Nguyen Van Hoa emphasized.

A happy school is achieved when we change school operations with the goal of educating for human development, for people. “A happy school is a warm atmosphere in the relationship between people and people” - Dr. Nguyen Van Hoa expressed.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa, a happy school is a place where students, teachers, and staff feel safe, loved, respected, understood, and valued.

A happy school is a way of running a school, where students feel happy and become an internal motivation for students to be interested in learning and being creative. How to make each student progress and become a good person.

Discussing the 5 steps to building a happy school, Dr. Nguyen Van Hoa shared: First, recognize and determine the mission, goals and motto of educating students.

Second, recognize and choose the educational path you are pursuing - the path of building a happy school.

Third, understand, adjust and change themselves, school managers/leaders, teachers and school staff.

Fourth, identify and equip teachers and staff with the necessary groups of competencies, skills, and secrets to build a Happy School to realize the chosen educational goals and missions.

Fifth, evaluate, assess and update processes and practices, and promote and adjust promptly/when necessary.
