RECEPTION AND CARE WORK FOR STUDENTS FROM THE SOUTH GROUPING TO THE NORTH (1954 – 1955)

Abstract

The historic victory at Dien Bien Phu compelled the French colonialists to sign the 1954 Geneva Agreement, ending the war and restoring peace in Indochina. In Vietnam, both sides conducted troop movements and area transfers for 300 days. President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee made the decision to bring children of officers, soldiers, and compatriots from the South to the North to continue their education with the revolutionary forces, with the aim of training a cadre team for the country's long-term revolutionary cause. Through historical, logical, analytical, and document research methods, the article clarifies the instructions for welcoming and caring for Southern students. Additionally, it sheds light on the difficulties in the reception and caring work for students from the South. Consequently, the article draws conclusions about the significance of the reception and caring work for Southern students grouping to the North during the military activities at that time (1954 – 1955).
