On August 16, Chinh Nghia Primary School, Cho Lon Ward (old District 5), Ho Chi Minh City held a meeting for parents of first grade students for the 2025-2026 school year.

Not only that, Mr. Le Thanh Hai, the school principal, also talked directly with the parents.

Parents whose children are entering primary school for the first time often have many worries about the curriculum, eating, sleeping, living, etc. of their children. Understanding that situation, Mr. Hai has resolved the concerns and questions of parents by pointing out the differences between the educational programs at primary and preschool levels.

The teacher pointed out the core skills that Chinh Nghia Primary School will focus on training for students. Among them, there are some skills that children have learned in kindergarten at a basic level, when entering primary school, teachers will continue to train students to achieve a higher level...

"I hope that after today's meeting, parents will feel more secure and work together and cooperate with the school in the process of educating students," said Mr. Hai.

After that, more than 200 first grade parents returned to their classrooms to meet their children’s teachers directly. Here, first grade teachers informed them in detail about the study time, the curriculum for the first and second semesters, the learning tools that needed to be prepared, and the meal and accommodation regime at school…

Ms. Tran Nga, parent of class 1/2, said: "At first, I was a bit hesitant when I saw that the school was a bit small, and located in the same campus as a pagoda. But today, when I went to the parent meeting, I was very surprised. Not only was I surprised by the formal welcome, but there were many other factors as well.

The classrooms are not large but clean and bright. The teachers also decorated the classrooms beautifully, everything is neat and tidy. The school is small but neat and tidy. After the first parent-teacher meeting of the year, I feel much more secure sending my child to study here."

Similarly, Mr. Huynh Minh Luan, parent of class 1/5, smiled brightly after leaving his child's classroom: "The teachers in the school's board of directors and the homeroom teacher have given us detailed instructions and answered all of our questions.

Compared to the day I went to submit my application, today the school and classrooms have been repainted beautifully. The study program and student activities as announced by the school are quite good. I am very happy because today's meeting has helped me confirm that I chose this school for my child was the right one."

The surprises of first grade parents

Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , many parents of first graders at Chinh Nghia Primary School said they were surprised by the teaching equipment at the public school.

"Previously, I thought that only international schools respected parents and had the conditions to welcome parents in a respectful and grand manner; only international schools had modern teaching equipment... But today that thinking has changed, Chinh Nghia Primary School is a public school that welcomes parents very thoughtfully. The school also has a music room, a multi-purpose theater hall, and all first grade classrooms have smart boards..." - a parent of a grade 1/1 student commented.
