On the morning of December 10, at the 5th session of the People's Council of Quang Tri province for the 2021-2026 term, Head of the Department of Culture and Social Affairs of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Thi Mai said that in the 2021-2025 period, Quang Tri province (including Quang Tri and Quang Binh before the arrangement of administrative units) will deploy socio-economic development tasks in the context of being affected by the Covid-19 epidemic at the beginning of the term and implement the arrangement of local governments at all levels, reorganizing the political apparatus in a streamlined, effective and efficient manner.
Despite many difficulties, the province's cultural and social fields have achieved many important results. The work of fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training has been effectively implemented; the system of basic schools meets learning needs; the quality of mass education remains stable.
However, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai pointed out that building a national standard school still faces many obstacles due to lack of resources for investment in facilities. The national standard school ratio is expected to reach 66.9% by the end of 2025, while the target by 2030 is 80%.
The educational institution is lacking. The whole province still lacks about 3,500 positions compared to the quota prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training. Many schools lack foreign language teachers, IT, new subjects such as music, art, experiential activities - career guidance, local education; lack of student counselors and staff to support students with disabilities. Meanwhile, the situation of local surplus and shortage of teachers in some subjects has not been completely resolved.
Although the education sector is assigned to supplement the payroll every year, it does not recruit to reserve resources for streamlining the payroll. To date, there are still 448 targets in 2025 that have not been recruited.
Ms. Mai also proposed plans for 2026 - 2030, to recruit enough assigned positions that have not been recruited, and at the same time, review the number of teachers at each level of education and the subject that is still lacking to prioritize contract implementation according to Decree 111/2022/ND-CP. There is a plan and measures to complete universal preschool education for children aged 3 to 5 and secondary education by 2030.
