Khmer Buddhist followers in Hung Hoi
commune, Vinh Loi district, Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu
have contributed 4 billion VND to construction of a Khmer language
teaching school.
The three-storey school which is
situated in the precinct of Ghositaram pagoda, includes six classrooms
alongside rooms for special purposes.
Every year, the
school will teach the Khmer language to about 250 ethic students and
organise illiteracy elimination classes for thousands of people in the
region.
According to Most Venerable Huu Hinh, Ghositaram
pagoda, which was built in 1860 and was a cradle of Buddhism study
campaign among monks nuns, has so far trained more than 3,500 learners.
The building of a school in Ghositaram pagoda is considered a
new way in education and it is expected to be duplicated in the
future./.
