In the atmosphere of the whole country, on the morning of September 5, Cao Thang Technical College (Sai Gon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) held the opening ceremony of the 2025-2026 school year. This is also the first time that all educational institutions across the country will salute the flag and sing the National Anthem at the same time in the opening ceremony of the new school year.
The historic school is nearly 120 years old
Dr. Le Dinh Kha, Principal of the school, said that this is not only a festival for teachers and students but also an opportunity for everyone to look back at historical milestones: 80 years of the establishment of the Ministry of National Education (now the Ministry of Education and Training ). This is also a moment to mark the journey of emulation to achieve achievements to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the establishment of Cao Thang Technical College.

Ms. Phan Thi Thang, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, highly appreciated the school's efforts in training human resources. Cao Thang Technical College is a prestigious and reputable vocational training institution in the network of colleges in Vietnam.
With a training scale of over 10,000 students in the field of engineering and technology according to the quality standards of ABET USA and KOSEN Japan, the school meets the demand for high-quality, international-standard human resources for Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces and cities.

"I believe that teachers and students of Cao Thang Technical College will achieve the set goals for the school year, continuing the good tradition that generations have worked hard to cultivate and preserve" - the leader of the Ministry of Industry and Trade hopes.
Accompanying the development of semiconductor technology
At the opening ceremony, a representative of Intel Group said that it will continue to accompany the school in sponsoring the training program on "Artificial Intelligence for the future workforce".
Mr. Aru David, Regional Director of Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST), representing GE Vernova Foundation, presented a symbolic donation plaque to the school. The donation includes modern equipment for training in the wind power industry, a rapidly growing field in Vietnam.
In addition, the school also receives practical support and companionship from businesses, especially in the field of semiconductor technology.
The opening ceremony was attended by many foreign partners and businesses.
The school has a long history
On February 20, 1906, the Asian Mechanical School (commonly known as Ba Nghe School), the predecessor of today's Cao Thang Technical College, was established.
The school was honored to be the place where the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh studied in 1911 before leaving Nha Rong port to board a ship to find a way to save the country. This was also the place where President Ton Duc Thang studied in the 1915-1917 school year.
