Attending this year's special opening ceremony, Tran Ngoc Anh Thu, class monitor of class 12.8 at Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School (Tan Dong Hiep Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) expressed: "This year, I am very excited to be opening the school year with the whole country. In class, we watched it live through the projector, and saw the joyful and solemn atmosphere. This year, instead of the principal giving a speech and beating the drum, we listened to General Secretary To Lam give a speech, give instructions and beat the drum to open the school year. I hope that this school year the whole class will study well together, achieve high results, graduate and pass their first choice in the university entrance exam."

Mr. Ta Van Tam, Principal of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School (Tan Dong Hiep Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: "This year's opening ceremony is very special when the whole school participates online with the whole country. Students watch the program live on VTV1 right in class, sharing the joy at the same moment. The new thing is that instead of giving flowers, the donors have given gifts of encouragement to students in difficult circumstances and those with high entrance scores to grade 10. In particular, the donation activity to support people affected by storms No. 4 and No. 5 has been enthusiastically responded to by city and local leaders, teachers and students, contributing to spreading the spirit of mutual love. Thereby helping students learn how to share, love and live for others more".

Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School (Tan Dong Hiep Ward, HCMC) launched a campaign to support people affected by floods.

Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School has been in operation since the 2020-2021 school year, located in Dong Thanh quarter, Tan Dong Hiep ward, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Di An city, Binh Duong province). The school impresses with its modern architecture, different from the traditional design. The buildings are connected in a circle, making it convenient for students to move between classrooms, libraries... without worrying about rain and wind. The green, airy campus with harmonious architecture creates an inspiring learning space. In particular, in the classrooms, students leave their shoes neatly outside the hallway before entering the classroom, contributing to building a clean and tidy classroom environment.

In the 2025-2026 school year, in the context of the whole industry promoting the implementation of 2-session teaching/day at secondary and high school levels according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City continues to review and prepare conditions for implementing the city's breakthrough projects and programs such as: Project "Bringing Artificial Intelligence into Schools", Program "Digital Education", implementing digital competency framework for teachers and students, developing Digital School Model... to meet the requirements of educational innovation and the growing student population.

In particular, the issue of promoting digital transformation has been identified as a key task right from the beginning of the school year. The Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City emphasized the continued implementation of the Project "Enhancing the application of information technology and digital transformation in education and training in the period of 2022 - 2025, with a vision to 2030"; at the same time, focusing on innovating school management and administration towards democracy, discipline, order, improving the quality and effectiveness of education; perfecting the industry database, ensuring synchronization and connectivity.

Along with that, the education and training sector promotes administrative reform, applying information technology in online teaching, on television and in testing and assessment. Digital transformation in managing students' learning and training results and developing a digital library system are also prioritized...
