After 3 hours, more than 66 opinions of children were sent to the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City. Student Huynh Ngoc Huong Giang (Quang Trung Secondary School, Tan Binh District) said that recently, the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City have paid attention to educational innovation, applying digital transformation to teaching and learning methods.

Currently, students are learning new textbooks and new curriculums, but the facilities and some teachers have not been upgraded to keep up with the changes in the education sector. I hope that the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City will pay attention to developing facilities for schools, adding more laboratories, and researching more creative and attractive teaching methods to suit the development of children.

Hoang Ngoc Minh Uyen (Lam Son Secondary School, District 6) said she was very happy that recently Ho Chi Minh City has paid attention to building and renovating many museums and relic sites to honor the historical values ​​of the nation, creating an environment for students to learn and study history and culture. Ho Chi Minh City has also built Ho Chi Minh cultural spaces in many places, organizing many impressive cultural activities such as the bread festival...

However, Hoang Ngoc Minh Uyen pointed out that the current situation of exploiting museum space is not effective, many students go to museums mainly to take photos to post on social networks. Meanwhile, teaching and learning History at school is not creative enough, not creating interest for students. Therefore, she thinks that it is necessary to innovate History education, effectively organize history lessons at museums, create short historical films to show in classrooms, and increase art performances and musicals about history.

At the program, children also expressed their concerns about environmental protection, traffic jams, flooding, health care, innovation among teenagers, skill training and talent development...

Young age but not young thinking

After listening to the opinions of the children, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen expressed his pride at the intelligent and responsible statements that the children sent to the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City. Secretary Nguyen Van Nen said that despite their young age, the children have a lot of thoughts, and their statements are all concerned about society and the community, and they want to build Ho Chi Minh City into a more civilized, modern, and humane city.

The Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee asked delegates to listen to and absorb children's opinions in order to have appropriate measures to care for and develop children.

“We must listen to children with all our hearts and turn it into the most responsible actions,” said the Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.

The Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee also said that when social networks develop rapidly, children will face many complex challenges. It will be difficult for them to distinguish and evaluate information when accessing through social networks. Comrade Nguyen Van Nen requested that relevant levels and sectors must intervene early, prevent bad and toxic information, and correct deviant behaviors in cyberspace.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City is asking for special policies and mechanisms for development. Secretary Nguyen Van Nen suggested that when the National Assembly passes a resolution to replace Resolution 54, policies for children's development must be promptly issued.

Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen shared that Uncle Ho once advised: “Raising children is like planting young trees. If you plant young trees well, they will grow well in the future. If you teach children well, they will become good people in the future.”

Comrade Nguyen Van Nen called on parents to continue to accompany schools, unions, teams, and associations to create the best conditions for children to study, play, and practice. Parents need to create a warm, loving family environment for their children.

Adults should respect children's interests, give them the right to decide, praise and encourage them when they do well and thank them when they help them. They must raise their self-esteem and sense of responsibility.

Speaking at the program, Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council Nguyen Thi Le asked the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to accept the opinions and ask relevant units to remove the problems raised by the students.

Comrade Nguyen Thi Le also hopes that Party committees, authorities, organizations and localities will increase funding, equip facilities and mobilize resources to effectively carry out the work of protecting, caring for and educating children. In particular, she proposed expanding schools and playgrounds for children, creating a favorable, safe and healthy environment for children to develop.

The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council also hopes that the Department of Education and Training and the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union will improve the quality of teaching, learning, and entertainment for children, and allocate time reasonably so that they can both study and participate in team activities.

Comrade Nguyen Thi Le called on parents to spend time caring for their children, creating conditions for them to study, play, entertain, and improve their health.

"Every family is a progressive, prosperous, and happy home. Every adult is a shining example for children to learn from and follow," said comrade Nguyen Thi Le.

The Chairman of the People's Council of Ho Chi Minh City believes that the children of Ho Chi Minh City will promote the spirit of vanguard, training, diligence, overcoming difficulties to study well in knowledge, culture, history and creative skills. At the same time, the children of Ho Chi Minh City will be pioneers in integration and development and always deserve to be good children, good students, good grandchildren of Uncle Ho.

Over the years, Ho Chi Minh City has always paid attention to investing in infrastructure for the education sector and will continue to do so in the future.

The Department of Education and Training has also coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to have extracurricular lessons to help students experience historical works, while continuing to innovate the form of teaching and learning this subject.

Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy :

Welcoming the children who have shown interest in building Ho Chi Minh's cultural space, we hope that the city's children will promote learning and following Ho Chi Minh's moral example in studying, training and living.

In the coming time, the Department of Culture will coordinate with relevant units to promote historical education activities through various forms of literature and art.
