Hanoi (VNA) – Madam Le Thi Bich Tran, spouse of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and Madam Zinash Tayachew, spouse of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, visited Nguyen Dinh Chieu secondary school for students with vision impairment in Hanoi on April 17.
The school's Principal Nguyen Thi Tuyet Mai highlighted the special significance of the visit, as it took place just one day before the Vietnam Day for Persons with Disabilities (April 18), bringing encouragement to both teachers and students.
The Nguyen Dinh Chieu secondary school was founded in 1982 with the mission of providing education for blind children in Hanoi. The school currently has nearly 1,800 students, including 131 students with disabilities - most of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The school’s teachers and staff not only teach academic subjects but also devote themselves to developing a sustainable and human-centred inclusive education model. The school has built a comprehensive system for inclusive education, which includes Braille instruction, orientation and mobility training, social skills, and vocational guidance. Students with disabilities from grades one to nine learn the national curriculum for sighted peers, while also receiving specialised educational support tailored to their needs.
To express their joy and gratitude for the visit, the school's students performed musical and artistic presentations, deeply touching the two distinguished guests and highlighting the resilience and determination of the students with disabilities.
On this occasion, the students presented landscape paintings of Hanoi to the two distinguished guests as heartfelt souvenirs./.
