On the afternoon of October 30, the Department of Science and Technology held a closing ceremony and awards presentation for the 2026 online contest on ‘Learning about science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation in Hue City’, one month after its launch, to recognize and honor collectives and individuals who achieved outstanding results.

For many women, life has been a long struggle to make ends meet, never having had a chance to experience a proper education. Yet, even as their hair turns grey and their hands grow rough from years of hard work, they remain eager to open their notebooks, carefully practice writing each letter, and shape their lips as they learn to read aloud, one letter at a time.

From still-clumsy letters to neat lines of notes, learners in the literacy class in Residential Area 5, Duong No Ward, are overcoming their feelings of inadequacy and their age, day by day, to learn to read and write. For them, being literate not only makes life more convenient but also opens up new opportunities.

Leftover fabric scraps, after being carefully selected and pieced together, have found a ‘new life’ as unique handmade products. What makes these products more meaningful is that they are made by children at Tam Binh Center for Children with Disabilities (Thuy Xuan Ward, Hue City). The initiative not only helps reduce material waste, but also provides a meaningful vocational learning environment for children with disabilities.

On the morning of October 2, Hue City Youth Center, in coordination with relevant units, organized a training course on ‘Applying AI in learning’ in 2026.

It now takes less than 30 seconds to buy an admission ticket, tap a phone against an NFC station to learn about a heritage site, or scan a QR code to listen to an electronic guide. Exploring Hue’s heritage is becoming possible through an expanding range of new approaches.

On the morning of October 1st, wards, communes and educational institutions across Hue City launched Lifelong Learning Week 2026 under the theme ‘Learning for Real, Practising for Real, Mastering Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence to Build a Learning Society and Promote Lifelong Learning’.

On the afternoon of September 18, Hue Tourism College held a conference on business cooperation to improve training quality. The event was attended by representatives from management agencies, professional associations, and businesses operating in the tourism and services sectors.

To date, nearly 1,500 gifts, scholarships, bicycles, and other forms of support have been presented to students by various levels of the Women’s Union, with total funding of nearly VND 1 billion. Each gift represents an act of sharing and gives students better conditions for learning and the confidence to start the new school year.

The showcase of signature products held as part of the 2026 Vietnam - Japan Local Cooperation Forum provided additional opportunities for domestic and international businesses to learn about their partners’ needs, explore markets and identify potential areas for future cooperation.
