After I became the President of the Association, CMC continues to be an enthusiastic companion, acting towards the development of schools for the development of human resources and for citizens to study according to global standards, in which being able to use foreign languages and computer are important skills. I want to send the sincerest thank you to CMC for their companionship to bring wisdom and light to teachers and students of poor schools. "

Dong Xa is an elementary school in the island district of Quang Ninh Province, where facilities are still limited. It is the wish of the Association to equip the school with a computer room, so that teachers and students can improve their teaching and learning conditions, and then the technical capability of the school. By the time of 22 May 2020, the room has been completed and put into operation. Representing Dong Xa Elementary School, Principal Le Thi Van said: “The school and the teachers are very excited to know that we will receive funding from Vietnam Association for Promoting Education and CMC Corporation. In fact, we already have several computer sets, however, the number is not enough to meet the needs for teaching and learning of teachers and students, as well as parents. The computers sponsored by CMC will be used during Informatics class hours and for online Math and English contests. We would like to send the sincerest thank to Vietnam Association for Promoting Education and CMC Corporation.”
