My Philosophy in Education


Khang Le

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

I was born in a poor family in Southern of Vietnam. The most impression in my mind on how strongly my dad and my mom wanted their three kids to go to school was a time when my family was in such a difficult financial problem in 1980s, my mom decided to sell her own blood and got money to pay for our school fees. They did not ever want us to drop school. Thanks to their hard work, we are now somewhat successful in our lives by reflecting what we have learned in school to the real world. We all believe in education. Education can change one’s life and make it more meaningful. I feel the institution of education plays a critical role.

Education is of importance to all human beings, no matter if it is formal or informal. I feel that education can be achieved anywhere through any means. The definition of education found in countries such as Vietnam or some other developmental countries are most likely different as opposed to the classification used in the United States. This however does not mean that those people around the world who do not receive or have the means of receiving an education such as in the United States are not educated people.

 I believe that as an educator not only do I have the necessity to help the students integrate thinking, feeling and doing but that they should be active and learn to solve problems reflecting on their experiences. I also believe that the school should help students develop personal and social values because society is always changing, new ideas are crucial to make the future better than the past. Because of that, schools and educators have a broader responsibility than just transmitting knowledge. Furthermore, I view education is a way to increase knowledge: personal, local and worldly. I want to see equal opportunities in education for all. Reflecting on education around the world and the differences found in other countries especially poor countries as my homeland-Vietnam- is just a beneficial to them in their country as ours is to us. I however would like to see some connections made amongst the countries in order to achieve a better understanding of one another.

As an educator I make my student aware of these opportunities and can provide them with new learning activities to make changes in the world. Teachers all across the globe make differences in children’s lives every day. I want to become that kind of educator. I feel that I fit into my vision by acting as a resource to my students and as a guide along their journey through life. A guide that helps my students grow physically, socially and emotionally, in the end creating a unique individual, an individual that can change the world. I am there to help them achieve their goals, act as an encourager and be a friend.

VyVy Educational Foundation History


Khang Le

HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION

My Name is Khang Le. I am a father, a husband, a son, an uncle. I am a second generation educator.  I have my Associate of Arts in English at Binh Duong Junior Training College in 1977, my University Diploma in English at University of Pedagogy in 2001. These combined studies are considered equivalent to the Bachelor of Arts in English, awarded by regionally accredited colleges and universities in the United States of America. I have been in education for 7 years in single subject for general education in Vietnam, working at Thai Hoa High School in Tan Uyen-Vietnam, Tuong Binh Hiep Secondary School in Tuong Binh Hiep-Vietnam, and Binh Duong Uniersity-Vietnam. Immigrating to the USA, I have been following with my passion of teaching for Special Education Department in Huntington Beach City School District as Teacher’s Assistant since 2007.
I come from a middle class background family. My father used to be a Science Teacher serving in public schools for more than 20 years. My mom earned her Associate of Arts in Accounting. She worked in Binh Duong Hospital for more than 35 years as an Accountant. My oldest brother is an Electrical Engineer, working in Binh Duong Electric Company; the other is a driver, working in the same company with my oldest one.
Teaching in Tuong Binh Hiep Secondary School, I deeply understood our student backgrounds. There were so many students who could not afford to go to school for education due to their financial problems. After leaving for the United States of America in 2004, I always think of doing something for my students who really need help to be able to continue their education. There is no resource for help so I decided to run my foundation by recycling. I save all the money from the recycling program to help the poor Vietnamese students who wish to achieve their goals in education. The foundation was established on May 23rd, 2007 with the name” The Cox & Le Educational Foundation”.  A year after running the foundation, I decided to change the foundation name to Vyhan Charity under my  daughters’ names. I would believe they will continue carrying my mission after I am gone.

Below are the criteria to receive the annual scholarship from the foundation:
