Teacher Tuyet Xuan & A Lang Tuy
I learned a lot from the training courses organized by VNHIP.
My name is Nguyen Thi Tuyet Xuan, and I teach at Zo Nong Primary School in Thanh My town, Nam Giang district. Before our school participated in VNHIP’s project, my class always had children with disabilities. At that time, I was confused and faced many difficulties when teaching these pupils. Their disabilities were mostly intellectual, and each child had different needs.
One of my disabled pupils is A Lang Tuy. He is a very good boy but has struggles with learning, focusing, and pronouncing. It was not easy to determine which teaching method was most suitable for him. Other teachers and I were worried about how to integrate special lessons for CWDs while ensuring a consistent education plan for other children. This put pressure on us because we lacked clear, specific guidance to support CWDs.
After attending VNHIP’s project training courses, I was glad because I had a specific method to assess CWD’s capacity and develop an effective education plan for them. I also learned how to propose specific objectives that align with their learning ability each semester. Each objective has clear indications and plans following every week and month. I no longer feel pressure because instead of trying to teach my disabled pupils as much as I can, I focus on strengthening their basic knowledge and helping them develop gradually.

One more thing that encourages me is the increase in school and parents’ interest in supporting CWDs. Through social events such as We Ring The Bell and International Children's Day, CWDs gain more attention from the community. From then on, their parents don't find complexities regarding their children’s situation. They become more active, talk to teachers, and ask for support.
Teaching CWDs is a chance for me to improve my teaching skills and help them integrate into society in the future. Thanks to VNHIP’s project, I realize that not just in Vietnam but around the world, people share the responsibility for ensuring CWDs can go to school. I am motivated because I know I am not alone in this challenging journey.
