In his letter, Nha affirmed that the recognition brings joy and pride not only to Phuong and the education sector of Phu Tho province, but also the education sector of the whole country.

Teachers with great devotion, passion and active application of IT in the hope of turning Vietnamese students into “global citizens” like Phuong will serve as a huge source of encouragement for students and teachers nationwide, he added.

The minister also expressed his belief that Phuong will continue to make greater efforts to contribute to the success of the country’s education reform.
