Recognising difficulties in the education and management of students, the school has proactively coordinated with local authorities and police to take numerous measures to strengthen supervision of activities of students. Notably in early 2011, the school’s Party Committee promulgated a thematic resolution on building a safe and drug-free school. 

Implementing this resolution, the school managing board has established a steering committee for implementing the resolution, including 12 members with the youth union playing the key role, together with security teams and self-management groups at youth branches.

The security teams are responsible for supervising activities of boarders and exchanging information between schools and residential areas where students reside. 

During the implementation of the resolution, the school managing board has actively worked with provincial police forces and youth unions at all levels to organise awareness-raising workshops and ask students to sign commitments to saying "No” to drug, social evils, and violence at school.

Secretary of the college’s Youth Union Bui Anh Hong said the People’s Court of Hoa Binh city has coordinated with the school in handling two drug trafficking cases, through which increasing awareness of students of the matter.


In addition, the college has developed and issued a set of regulations for on-campus and off-campus students adaptive to the real situation. The regulations were comprehensively enforced at all levels, from the ward’s police to the management board of the dormitory, residential areas, owners of rented houses, and the college. 

The college’s departments and youth union have also coordinated with Cham Mat ward’s police to instruct students how to register temporary residence and living on campus upon the enrolment, and to make a list of off-campus students and to register any changes.

At least once per semester, the college held a meeting with the management board of the dormitory, representatives of residential areas where students reside.

Thanks to the seven-year implementation of the model, no case of using, trafficking and storing drugs involving the college’s students has been ever reported. The college has also recorded no students involving prostitution or storing and disseminating anti-State propaganda films and documents. 

By the end of December 2017, 22 organisations and schools in the province have implemented the model, Hong said. It is the encouragement for the school’s teachers and students, she noted.

She added that the college’s youth union will continue the effective operation of the special security and self-managed teams, and diversifying communication campaigns to improve the quality of the programme and maintain a drug-free college.
