The activity also aims to arouse pride, inspire and motivate generations of Hanoi students to express their patriotism and love for the capital; and encourage and motivate teachers and educational managers to continue to strive, innovate and be creative for the cause of education and training, building and developing the capital, the country, and international integration.

UNESCO Representative to Vietnam Jonathan Wallace Baker expressed his joy and shared that 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Hanoi being recognized by UNESCO as a City for Peace, and is also the time of establishing the UNESCO Office in Hanoi.

“I am particularly pleased to learn that the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has launched the Happy Schools criteria for schools, from kindergarten to high school. This is an important and exciting step towards creating a positive and inclusive learning environment for Hanoi students. This initiative is fully aligned with the UNESCO Global Framework for Happy Schools and our partnership with Vietnam in promoting inclusive, equitable, and quality education, to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.

I am also delighted that the Hanoi People’s Committee is interested in becoming a member of the Global Learning Cities Network. We look forward to working with Hanoi to support this process.

I am also delighted that the “March of Capital Students” is an activity in response to the Hanoi Creative Design Festival, marking 5 years since Hanoi became Vietnam’s first member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. As students march today in the heart of peaceful Hanoi, I hope they will feel proud and appreciate the heritage of their ancestors as well as their fellow citizens, from all ages and backgrounds,” said Jonathan Wallace Baker.
