Covering an area of nearly 16,000 sq.m, the school has 20 classes with 690 students in the 2024-25 school year. Once participating in the project, students will practice a number of activities such as making bean sprouts, growing hydroponic vegetables, and growing vegetables in the school garden to improve their lunch. They will also receive nutritional health care, regular health check-ups and instructions on how to prevent seasonal diseases.

The project on improving the quality of life of children and youth in the Asia-Pacific region sponsored by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn in a number of schools in Việt Nam since 2006 has contributed to enhancing the overall quality of students in disadvantaged areas.

The school aims to ensure that all staff, teachers, employees and students receive regular health care and are healthy enough to work and study, she continued.

During the trip, the Princess and the Thai royal delegation also visited some facilities at the school such as the medical room, library and hand washing ward as well as attended an English lesson for students. — VNS
