Ms. Quach Kieu Mai, Deputy Director of the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions of Ca Mau province, presented support money to Khmer language teachers.

The organization of teaching and learning Khmer for children of ethnic minorities is considered a special policy of Ca Mau province (old); in recent years, it has always been well maintained. Every year, the Provincial People's Committee allocates funds to the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Education and Training, People's Committees of communes and related agencies and units to organize 23 Khmer teaching and learning points during the summer at pagodas, salatels and places where many Khmer people live, with an average of about 30 classes and over 600 children participating in the study each year.

This summer, in the communes of Ho Thi Ky, Tri Phai, Tan Loc, and Thoi Binh, there are 7 Khmer classes with nearly 200 students participating.

Reward students with good academic performance in summer Khmer classes.

Ho Thi Ky commune alone organized 2 teaching locations with 3 teachers, attracting nearly 100 students to participate. After 2 months of implementation, the Khmer summer classes have completed the entire program as planned.

To facilitate the children entering the new school year, units, organizations and individuals also give textbooks to them.

Nguyen Hong Nhan shared, “I am very happy to learn Khmer in the summer at the pagoda. The class helps me learn the writing and language of my ethnic group. This is also the luggage that will help me enter the provincial Ethnic Minority High School in the future. I hope that next summer we will continue to learn Khmer.”

On this occasion, agencies and units presented gifts to the pagoda.

Ms. Quach Kieu Mai, Deputy Director of the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions of Ca Mau province, said: "Ca Mau province maintains the implementation of the annual teaching and learning of Khmer script, in order to create conditions for ethnic minority children to participate in learning Khmer script in the summer; thereby, contributing to preserving the language and writing, promoting the traditional cultural identity of ethnic minorities in the localities".
