By 2030, 65% of kindergartens and primary schools, 75% of junior high schools and 60% of high schools will meet national standards. At the same time, 100% of high schools with ethnic minority students will organize activities to learn about ethnic culture, teach their ethnic language and writing.
Regarding the teaching staff, the program aims for 100% of preschool and primary school teachers to meet training standards; teachers are trained in ethnic languages and skills in applying information technology. Management staff and teachers are trained in digital skills, modern teaching methods, associated with the requirements of digital transformation and the 4.0 industrial revolution.
The program also emphasizes 6 key groups of solutions, including: strengthening the leadership of the Party and the government in educational development; planning a network of schools to meet the needs of everyone; training, recruiting and attracting quality teachers; improving the effectiveness of literacy eradication, popularizing education and dividing students; promoting digital transformation in teaching and learning; continuing to improve policies to support students and teachers in disadvantaged areas.
