On November 5, 2010, the Center for Research on Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas (University of Social Sciences and Humanities) visited and worked with the Provincial Youth Union and leaders of Ngo Gia Tu College - Bac Giang province.Attending the meeting, on the Center's side were Prof. Dr. Tran Tri Doi (Director), MSc. Ngo Thi Hoa (Deputy Director); on the Bac Giang province's side were MSc. Nguyen Duc Du (Vice Principal of Ngo Gia Tu College) and comrade Nguyen Hoang Trung (Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union). The main content of the meeting was to survey the number, economic situation and learning situation of students at Ngo Gia Tu College. The survey results will be the basis for the Center to decide to award scholarships to ethnic minority students studying at the School. According to MSc. Nguyen Duc Du, Ngo Gia Tu College currently has a total of 1,062 students, of which 140 are ethnic minority students. Most of these students have difficult economic circumstances, although they have tried hard in their studies, most of them have lower academic performance than other students. Therefore, the scholarship that the Center intends to sponsor will have great significance both materially and spiritually for the students in the school. On the side of the Provincial Youth Union, comrade Nguyen Hoang Trung affirmed that the Bac Giang Provincial Youth Union supports and will actively coordinate to organize this meaningful activity. Also at the meeting, from a professional perspective, Prof. Dr. Tran Tri Doi advised Ngo Gia Tu College to open more training majors to meet the specific needs of the locality.
The sponsorship program is expected to be held in mid-December in Bac Giang. This year, the Center for Research and Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas has organized sponsorship in Dien Bien and Thanh Hoa provinces with a total value of nearly 400 million VND. In particular, at the end of November, the Center will organize a scholarship award ceremony for ethnic minority students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities who have difficult circumstances and have made great efforts in their studies.
