Concluding the conference, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son emphasized that the 2021-2025 term is a "term of change", with rapid speed, large scale, depth and profound impact on the entire sector.
Looking back at the past 5 years, the Minister emphasized that the position of the Education sector has never been so clearly concerned and positioned as it is today. The sector has received deep attention from the Party, State, Government and people, and is placed in a position of particular importance to national development.
Stepping into the new term, the Minister said that the Education sector needs to pay special attention to three key issues. First of all, it is necessary to clearly identify the development opportunities that are present, not to miss opportunities, not to miss the rhythm and not to disappoint the expectations of the Party, State and People. Secondly, it is necessary to maximize the advantages of the newly established institution, consider the institution as an important competitive resource, and soon bring the provisions of law and specific mechanisms and policies into life. Thirdly, it is necessary to prepare well to absorb and effectively transform large investment resources for education, turning resources into a real driving force for development.
In particular, the Minister affirmed that the fundamental and decisive factor for the quality and operation of the entire education system is the teaching staff. The promulgation of the Law on Teachers and the continued improvement of staff development policies demonstrate the industry's steadfastness in caring for the "subject" of education.
According to the Minister, where there are good teachers, there is good quality education; this is a big lesson of the term and also a consistent direction for the coming period.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
