ABSTRACT
Educating children's rights and responsibilities for Tay and Nung elementary school students is an important educational content contributing to the implementation of comprehensive educational goals for ethnic minority pupils of primary schools who are living in the mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam. The rights and duties of students are mainly carried out in life and are greatly influenced by cultural characteristics of the nation such as customs, ways of life, communication, festivals, beliefs, spirituality, etc. The problem is to clarify the theoretical basis for using local knowledge in educating students' rights and responsibilities, analyzing the reality of exploiting local knowledge in educating Tay and Nung elementary school students. Since then some measures are proposed to educate children's rights and responsibilities through the use of local knowledge in the Northern Upland region. In this paper, the author has used a paper-based survey method and direct interviews with students and teachers in 6 mountainous provinces in Northern Vietnam. The survey was conducted by the support of 618 Tay-Nung ethnic minority students and 245 teachers and administrators. Through the results achieved in this study, we need to integrate the education of children in this mountainous area by incorporating real life. The habits and culture of mountainous children need to be emphasized in education because this combination makes sense for educating students' rights and obligations. Besides, we can preserve the cultural identity of the Tay and Nung ethnic groups. This is of great significance in designing a complete educational program that aims to educate the children.
