For teachers working in mountainous areas, in addition to their dedication to the profession, their “baggage” also includes boundless love for students. The dream of bringing literacy to students in these regions is always nurtured through the silent sacrifices of these educators.

“Despite our old age, we still strive to learn how to read and write since life will be much better with literacy.” - that is the confession of a student in the illiteracy eradication class in Village 3, Vinh Thanh commune, Phu Vang district.

In the highland area of Nam Dong (a mountainous district 50 km southwest of Hue city) today, there are still adult literacy classes in the villages and hamlets. For many Co Tu people, even those who have already been grandmother, it is never too late to learn.
