At the ceremony, Rector Pham Xuan Phan said that this school year, the school has 1,897 students, 92 teachers, including 15 teachers teaching Vietnamese language.

In the 2016-2017 school year, Nguyen Du school continues to improve teaching and learning, and strives to become a high quality school.

Speaking at the event, Chargé d'affaires of the Vietnamese Embassy in Laos Hoang Xuan Hai wished teachers and students a happy and successful new school year with full of enthusiasm.

The school has strong attachment with the development of the overseas Vietnamese community in Vientiane for over the past 50 years.

In order to implement the guideline of the two countries on building Nguyen Du to become a high quality school, and a symbol of the traditional friendship, special solidarity and effective cooperation in the field of education and human resources between Vietnam and Laos, Mr. Hoang Xuan Hai requested that the school continue to reinforce education managers; improving quality of teachers; and renovating teaching methods. He also desired Laos’ Ministry of Education and Sports, Vientiane’s Department of Education and Sports, and related agencies to continue to support the school so it would operate more effectively.

On this occasion, Mr. Hoang Xuan Hai presented a practical and significant gift from Mrs. Tran Nguyet Thu, spouse of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, to Nguyen Du school. The gift included two computer sets, 40 boxes of books, notebooks, school supplies and 60 boxes of milk on the occasion of the Prime Minister and his spouse attended the 28th and 29th ASEAN Summits and related Summits from September 6th - 8th./.
