Over the past five years, the provincial education and training sector’s patriotic emulation movements have developed extensively and intensively. 

Under a project to rearrange the network of schools, during 2016-2020, the province reduced 130 schools and 443 temporary education facilities, along with 106 classrooms. The number of students increased by 20,048, with the figure of day-boarders up 9,924.

During the 2019-2020 academic year, local schools have taken various solutions to maintain teaching and learning during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Local teachers and students have also actively responded to the emulation movement that encourages innovation in teaching and learning. 

A total of 57 collectives and 117 individuals were honoured during the ceremony, including winners of national and provincial contests for talented students, and poor students with outstanding academic performance.
