This can be a basis for sectors and localities to organize educational activities on tradition for pupils and students more effectively and comprehensively.
Teaching tradition to pupils and students through cultural heritages is considered a way to promote the values of cultural heritages and improve the effectiveness of traditional patriotic education and young generations’ awareness of the importance of the national cultural identity. Therefore, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has required the provincial-level museums and monument preservation centers to actively implement activities in accordance with the orientation on protection and promotion of cultural heritage values based on the current educational program. The ministry also requested local cultural and sports departments to make plan and cooperate with local education and training departments to teach pupils and students tradition through cultural heritages. Province-level museums must implement the models "I-love-history Club" and "History periods at museums" from January to May 2023 and pilot the model "Online history periods" at some province-level museums that are qualified in terms of human resource and technology, etc. from March to July 2023.

Khanh Hoa Provincial Monument Preservation Center and provincial Museum have cooperated with each other to hold many activities about cultural heritages for pupils and students with appropriate ways. The provincial museum has cooperated with schools in the province to hold extracurricular activities for students at the museum or hold exhibitions at schools. The provincial Monument Preservation Center has organized visits to Ponagar Temple and Hon Chong tourist site for pupils. “Seeing the relics with my own eyes and listening to the information given by the guides help me to learn a lot of useful knowledge which is necessary for my studying,” said Thien Duyen, a pupil at Cao Ba Quat Junior High School, Nha Trang City.
However, these types of extracurricular activities haven’t been organized frequently. There isn’t a specific cooperation plan between the provincial Department of Culture and Sports and the provincial Department of Education and Training or between the museums and the Monument Preservation Centers and localities and schools.
Over the past time, the provincial Museum has organized many activities in order to attract visitors to the museum. This comes from the actual needs of the museum and the schools. The plan of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is very necessary. In fact, before the ministry issued the plan, Khanh Hoa Provincial Museum had been making the cooperation plan with Nha Trang City to hold extracurricular activities for pupils at the museum.
As said by Le Van Hoa, deputy director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Culture and Sports, in the time to come, the department will sign a cooperation plan with the provincial Department of Education and Training in teaching tradition to pupils and students; direct the provincial Museum and Monument Preservation Center to make specific plan for extracurricular learning activities at museums and monuments of history and culture; and cooperate with the units under the education sector to carry out the plan.
