The school was inaugurated and put into operation in 2013 in Lac Ve commune, Tien Du district, Bac Ninh province, with the desire to assist students living around Samsung's factory. The school was built with modern equipment, a synchronous system as well as after-school extracurricular courses such as IT, fine arts, foreign languages and soft skills to help students have a solid foundation to nurture their dreams.
After 10 years of operation, Samsung Bac Ninh Hope School has given more than 2,000 individuals in Bac Ninh a chance to live and learn in a healthy, dynamic environment where they can explore their own dreams, develop comprehensively and bring positive contributions to the educational development in Bac Ninh province. A total of 62 students have graduated from this school so far. Thanks to the knowledge acquired from here, their chances to get into universities have also increased.
Speaking at the event, Ngo Tan Phuong, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said, “On behalf of the provincial People's Committee, I acknowledge and praise the great contributions of Samsung Vietnam Complex, which have directed Samsung Electronics Vietnam Co Ltd to coordinate with KFHI to aid and build “Vietnam - Korea Cooperation Center,” not only building but also accompanying the organization to maintain the center's facilities. The company not only excels in production and business but also takes the lead in community support activities, deserving to be a comprehensive example for other FDI companies in the province to follow.”
Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam Complex, said, “Our future depends a lot on the young generations. And supporting young people to pursue their dreams is the mission for all of us. President Ho Chi Minh once said, “For the sake of ten years, we must plant trees, for the sake of 100 years, we must cultivate people.” I believe that this is a reminder for us about the importance of investing in people; it is the best investment that creates great and lasting results. It has been 10 years since the establishment and operation of Samsung Bac Ninh Hope School. However, it can be said that these are merely the first steps in that 100-year journey. Samsung will continue to effectively operate the Samsung Hope School and constantly support the development of the youth - the future owners of the country.”
