Trưng Vương Junior Secondary School (Vietnamese: Trường Trung học cơ sở Trưng Vương) is a public junior secondary school in Hanoi, Vietnam. It was established in 1917 under the name Dong Khanh Girls' School.[2]
History
[edit]In 1917, the French authorities declared open the Annammite Girls' Institute (French: Institution de Jeunes Filles Annamites; Vietnamese: Trường Nữ học An Nam) in Hanoi. Initially, the institute was opened at a different address and only operated at the current address since 31st December 1925.[3]
Because of changes in the education system, the institute changed its name to Annammite Girls' College (French: Collège de Jeunes Filles Annamites) in 1937. Due to the school's position being at a corner between Đồng Khánh and Carreau Boulevard, locals started calling it Đồng Khánh Girls' College (Vietnamese: Trường Nữ sinh Đồng Khánh).[3]
During the First Indochina War
[edit]The school moved to Hưng Yên in 1943 likely to evade the War. After the August Revolution, it was moved back to Hoàng Mai, Hanoi in October 1945 obeying a decree from Minister Vũ Đình Hòe. On 14th February 1946, another decree was released, changing the school's name to Hai Bà Trưng Middle School.[3] During tensions between forces in Hanoi, school buildings were used as headquarters for the Ministry of Defence in 1946. The 77th Battalion, a division of the Thăng Long Regiment (one of two regiments defending Hanoi, currently a part of the 320th Division) of the Army of the State of Vietnam had fought fiercefully with the French Armed Forces here.[4] The school's current name has been used since 1948[5] and the campus moved back to 20 Hang Bai Street in 1956, after 13 years.
During the Vietnam War
[edit]In 1964, when United States Air Force was preparing to bomb North Vietnam, the school was temporarily relocated to Hà Tây until 1970.[6]
In April 1972, under the threat of another US bombing operation on North Vietnam, the school was temporarily relocated to Hà Bắc until the Paris Peace Accords was signed.[6]
International relations
[edit]After the Đổi Mới reforms, the school has established connections with many international schools and organizations such as: Raffles High School (Singapore), Vibyskolan (Sweden), Charlemagne (France), Caterham (UK), KOICA Coperation (South Korea), Wodonga High School (Australia), Kaishi High School (Japan),...[7]
