Paying attention to organizing professional group activities, introducing, exchanging and discussing to innovate teaching methods. Up to now, most teachers under 50 years old (for women) and under 55 years old (for men) can apply information technology in preparing, teaching and presenting.

Socialization of education is of interest to schools. In particular, the coordination between schools and the Parents' Association, local authorities, and units located in the area and the strong promotion of the role of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in the fields of life skills education, organizing activities to encourage young talents in studying, cultural activities, arts, and sports.

However, because high schools in particularly disadvantaged areas are far from the provincial center, their facilities are still limited and there are not enough subject rooms to serve the innovation of teaching methods, which somewhat affects the learning quality of students.

The total number of teachers in the 2018-2019 school year was 101. The training level of the team has been significantly improved.
