Vietnam schools promote traditional education through 500-day campaign
The 500-day campaign to find and repatriate the remains of fallen soldiers in Vietnam, scheduled until next August, offers a unique chance to reinforce traditional gratitude education. In Ho Chi Minh City, schools commemorate the 50th anniversary of the city's renaming after President Ho Chi Minh on July 2, 1976, and prepare for War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27 with experiential learning activities. These efforts are proposed to be the theme for the 2026-2027 academic year to help students connect with the nation’s heroic history and sacrifice.
