Concretize the ethnic policies of the Party and State

The 2019 Education Law identifies cultural knowledge training in vocationally oriented subjects as an important part of the education system of specialized schools, aiming to develop the qualities and capacities of ethnic minority students in a number of subjects on the basis of ensuring comprehensive education, creating a training source for admission to universities to meet the development requirements of the locality and the country.

However, there is currently no separate legal document specifically regulating the content of cultural knowledge training programs for ethnic minority students in preparatory universities, ensuring consistency in teaching organization among preparatory universities.

The country is promoting innovation, digital transformation and deep international integration, the development of high-quality human resources, especially human resources for ethnic minority and mountainous students, is becoming increasingly urgent. University preparatory schools are the source and training place for ethnic minority students who are capable of studying at universities nationwide in many different majors.

Therefore, the amendment and supplementation of Circular 44/2021/TT-BGDDT together with the University Preparatory Knowledge Training Program is the foundation to ensure quality, consistency and long-term strategic orientation for education in university preparatory schools.

The issuance of the Circular amending and supplementing Circular 44/2021/TT-BGDDT attached to the University Preparatory Knowledge Training Program concretizes the Party and State's ethnic policies for children of ethnic minorities.
