State President Vo Van Thuong attended the ceremony at the Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities of the Central Highlands in Gia Lai.

In his address, President Thuong praised the school’s teachers and students for their unity and efforts to overcome challenges to establish the school as a reputable and reliable educational institution for thousands of children of the Bahnar, Jrai, Thai, Nung, Tay, E de, and Xo dang ethnic minorities. The school has played a vital role in providing quality human resources for the province, the Central Highlands, and the country.

President Thuong said: "Ensuring the effective delivery of education and training to children of ethnic minorities is crucial in establishing a strong foundation. This is not only a significant way to support and uplift ethnic minority communities, but it’s also a means to break the cycle of poverty. It also helps create a pool of ethnic minority leaders for the political system, maintain political stability, and drive socio-economic development in remote and isolated regions."
