The General Secretary affirmed that the Party, the State, teachers, parents and the whole society always accompany, follow and support the children with all their love and responsibility.
The General Secretary called on ministries, branches, authorities at all levels and the whole society to take stronger action. Caring for children with disabilities must be considered a political responsibility, a humanitarian commitment and also a measure of the country's civilization and progress.
The Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health closely coordinate with relevant ministries and branches, with local authorities to replicate models of schools with similar functions to Nguyen Dinh Chieu School for the Gifted and Xa Dan School for the Gifted or other specialized schools to create "home" for children with birth defects such as deafness, blindness, intellectual disabilities, autism, product-related skin toxicity and other cases of disability... to have opportunities and conditions to integrate into the community, not left behind.
Lighting up the fire of determination, a fulcrum for children to gradually integrate into the community
For schools, the General Secretary urged that they should proactively connect with hospitals, health organizations, art - sports - vocational training institutions to build a multidimensional learning environment, helping children not only learn to read and write but also learn a trade, learn to be human, learn to live happily.
For parents, please do not feel inferior because their children are disabled, but show greater love to them, and join the community to narrow the distance for care, education, and treatment compared to other normal children. They really need to be loved, recognized, expected and most of all, accompanied. The family is a strong support for the children to confidently step out into society.
The General Secretary called on the community, businesses, social organizations and each citizen to join hands to build an inclusive ecosystem where all children - whether healthy or disabled - can live in sharing, respect and fair development opportunities.
The General Secretary emotionally expressed that for teachers - those who are silently sowing the seeds of love day and night, the work of teachers is not only a profession, but a mission. The teachers lit the fire of determination, a fulcrum for the children to gradually integrate into the community and contribute to society.
The General Secretary suggested that the Ministry of Education and Training, and related units, summarize the model of education for disabled children in Hanoi and some other localities to build special schools from primary to secondary schools for disabled students. Agencies, departments, branches, social organizations, and the business community need to have a plan to receive people with disabilities when they reach working age to do suitable jobs to help people with disabilities truly integrate into the community.
On this occasion, General Secretary To Lam presented some musical instruments to teachers and students of Nguyen Dinh Chieu School and Xa Dan School; visited the dormitory of blind students; visited the Art House and took souvenir photos with teachers and students of the two schools.
