Of which, the central budget capital for direct support for implementation is arranged at least 77,000 billion VND (accounting for 63%); local budget capital is about 30,250 billion VND (accounting for 24.6%); other legally mobilized capital is about 15,000 billion VND (accounting for 12.4%).

It is expected that the total resources mobilized to implement the program in the 2031-2035 period will be 134,000 billion VND.

The program includes 7 general goals.

Second, improve people's spiritual life, access to and enjoyment of culture, and their need for exercise and entertainment, narrowing the gap in cultural enjoyment between regions, social classes, and genders, thereby improving labor productivity and work efficiency.

Presenting the review report on this content, Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh said that the Committee basically agreed with the plan on total investment and capital sources to implement the program.

According to some opinions, the total investment of the program is very large; it is necessary to carefully study and evaluate the scale, structure, ability to mobilize and arrange resources to implement the program to ensure feasibility, suitability with the response capacity of national resources, and effective use of the budget.

The review agency believes that it is necessary to consider the feasibility of two specific goals by 2030.

Firstly, the goal is to strive for 100% of cultural and artistic units to carry out digital transformation and apply achievements of the 4th industrial revolution.

Second, consider the feasibility of the goal of 100% of students in the national education system having access to and effectively and regularly participating in arts education and cultural heritage education activities.

There are opinions suggesting that the Government should carefully consider the investment policy to build a number of Vietnamese cultural centers abroad, ensuring feasibility, efficiency, avoiding waste and being consistent with existing resources.
