Regarding the issue of district-level localities seconding teachers to work at the Department of Education and Training, Comrade Le Duc Cuong - Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department - suggested researching and advising on a definitive solution to this problem, to avoid further secondment.
