On the morning of September 4, 2025, in Dien Ban Tay commune, Da Nang City, the 30th Anniversary Ceremony of Junko Primary School (1995–2025) was held in a warm and solemn atmosphere. This was not only a celebration for teachers and students but also an important milestone to reflect on three decades of building, growth, and dedication to education.
Junko – A Symbol of Vietnam–Japan Friendship
Junko Primary School was established in 1995 with support from Japanese organizations and friends. The school was named “Junko” to honor the memory of Mrs. Junko, a Japanese woman who dedicated her heart to improving education for Vietnamese children.
For 30 years, Junko has stood as a “house of knowledge”, nurturing character, inspiring dreams, and shaping the future of thousands of young students. With its enduring spirit of “teaching well – studying well”, the school has become not only a bright spot in Da Nang’s primary education system but also a lasting symbol of international friendship, representing the strong and humanistic bond between Vietnam and Japan.
Kadokawa Corporation – A Partner in Education and Culture
On this special occasion, representatives of Kadokawa Corporation, Japan, together with N&V Bridge Group, attended the celebration and extended heartfelt congratulations to the teachers and students.
Kadokawa is one of Japan’s leading corporations in publishing, media, education, and entertainment. It is widely known for producing books, manga, films, and organizing cultural and academic exchange programs. Guided by the philosophy of “inspiring knowledge and nurturing creativity”, Kadokawa places education and international collaboration at the heart of its sustainable development strategy.
Kadokawa’s presence at the anniversary was not only a gesture of goodwill but also a reaffirmation of its commitment to accompany Vietnam in enhancing educational quality, promoting cultural exchange, and creating more opportunities for young generations to learn and connect globally.
30 Years – Gratitude for the Past, Aspirations for the Future
The anniversary celebration was an occasion to honor the tireless efforts of generations of teachers, students, and parents. From the early days of limited resources, Junko has grown into one of Da Nang’s exemplary primary schools, contributing to the education of many outstanding graduates.
The 30th anniversary served as a moment of gratitude for the school’s past achievements while opening new aspirations for the future: maintaining the tradition of excellence, innovating teaching methods, applying technology in education, and building a modern, internationally integrated school.
N&V Bridge Group – Connecting and Spreading Values
With its mission of Connect – Cooperate – Develop, N&V Bridge Group is proud to accompany meaningful educational and cultural initiatives.
