Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh: No need for students to have schools, classes, and teachers
Chairing the conference to summarize the 2024-2025 school year and deploy tasks for the 2025-2026 school year, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh praised the achievements of the education sector, summarized in 36 words with a focus on perfected institutions, improved quality, professional exams, expanded integration, early development of science and talent.
In addition to the results, the Prime Minister also pointed out the remaining limitations: inadequate education programs, fragile vocational education scale, inappropriate professional structure, low training quality, slow innovation to meet labor market needs, and shortage of facilities. The Prime Minister emphasized the orientation of taking students as the center, teachers as the driving force, schools as the support, families as the fulcrum and society as the foundation, and at the same time required to ensure that all citizens have equal access to education.
Regarding key tasks, the Prime Minister requested the entire sector to effectively prepare to implement the new Resolution of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education development, re-planning the network of educational institutions, prioritizing the construction of schools in disadvantaged areas, especially in 248 border communes. The Ministry of Education and Training is assigned to preside over the coordination of the development of a National Assembly Resolution on specific mechanisms and the Government's Action Plan. On the eve of the new school year, Minister Nguyen Kim Son pledged to promote "36 golden words", "32 silver words", along with many key groups of tasks to create a breakthrough for the education sector.

Teacher goes to B - memories of the most brilliant years of youth
Recently, the Ministry of Education and Training organized a meeting to express gratitude to 80 teachers representing more than 3,000 "teachers going to B" - those who volunteered to leave the North and go to the South during the resistance war against the US. Since the early 1960s, responding to the call of the Party and the State, thousands of teachers and pedagogical students have written volunteer petitions, bringing their youth and knowledge to both participate in the resistance war and carry out the teaching mission in arduous and dangerous conditions.
In the memories of many teachers, their youth are a journey that is both proud and full of sacrifice. They left their families, accepted hardship, traveled for months through Truong Son, carried heavy backpacks, ate rice, slept in the forest, faced bombs and bullets and were at risk of being imprisoned. Many teachers, when arrested and tortured by the enemy, are still indomitable, even continuing to teach in prison, showing an indomitable spirit and a desire to sow knowledge.
Permanent Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed that "teacher goes to school B" is a brilliant symbol of intelligence, courage and love for the Fatherland. He hopes that today's generation of teachers will continue their tradition, be ready to take on difficult tasks, innovate, uphold ethics and inspire students. The Ministry of Education and Training will continue to review and compare records to ensure accurate and worthy honor for teachers who have devoted their entire youth to the country. See more...
