Patriotic emulation has become a practical and regular activity.
On the morning of November 17, the Ministry of Education and Training held the 43rd Anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers' Day and the 8th Patriotic Emulation Congress. This is a festival of the education sector, aiming to honor teachers, those directly involved in teaching, educational administrators and those who support and care for students in educational institutions.
More than 300 excellent and typical advanced delegates were elected from the Advanced Model Conferences at all levels and typical advanced collectives and individuals in patriotic emulation movements, especially the emulation movement "Innovation and creativity in management, teaching and learning" in the period of 2020 - 2025 to attend the Congress.
Imbued with the teachings of President Ho Chi Minh: "Emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation", after 80 years of striving to grow up, contributing to the development of the country, especially in the past 5 years, the Education sector has promoted the implementation of: Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, Resolution 29 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training, Conclusion No. 91 on continuing to implement Resolution 29, Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation, Resolution 71 on breakthroughs in education and training development, Resolution on universalizing preschool education for children from 3 to 5 years old, the policy of building 248 boarding schools in border communes; actively perfecting new breakthrough policies on developing the teaching staff to implement the Law on Teachers... and many other new policies with many efforts and determination to contribute to emulation to follow Uncle Ho's teachings.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said: In recent years, patriotic emulation movements have become practical and regular activities in the whole sector. There are emulation movements that have been consistent throughout the development process of the sector such as: Emulation "Teach well, Learn well"; Emulation "Innovation and creativity in management, teaching and learning"; "The whole country joins hands to build new rural areas"; "The whole country joins hands for the poor, leaving no one behind"; "Eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses"; "Promote the development of synchronous and modern infrastructure; practice thrift and fight waste"; "The whole country competes in innovation and digital transformation" and "Digital education for all"
In particular, the movement "The whole country competes to build a learning society, promote lifelong learning in the period 2023-2030" is an important Strategy of the Government and the Education sector, launched by the Prime Minister. This movement is not only a competition, but also a real upgrade in terms of awareness and action for the construction of a learning society, which has been implemented through many previous stages (since 2005). Thereby, many typical advanced examples of the sector have been honored and rewarded.
Sharing about the recent period, Minister Nguyen Kim Son emphasized that the education sector has a special emulation movement, when the whole country responded to the COVID-19 pandemic; the Prime Minister launched a special emulation movement; the whole country united, joined hands, and competed to prevent and defeat the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Education and Training has deployed tasks and solutions to organize safe teaching and learning, ensure the program and quality goals of education and training, respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and guide educational institutions to proactively and flexibly develop school education plans suitable to the local epidemic situation. One of the outstanding results in the past 5 years at the general education level is that the education sector has completed the implementation cycle of the new 2018 general education program, in which there is a strong shift from knowledge-equipping education to developing learners' capacity.
Up to this point, the important goals of the program implementation have been completed, creating fundamental changes in general education. During the past time, in the excellent student competitions, especially in the international Olympic competitions, we have maintained our position in the top 10 countries with the best exam results in the world. There are teams, groups, and subjects that have reached the top 5 and top 3 countries with the best exam results in the world. The national excellent student competitions and participation in international competitions have increasingly been innovated and achieved many positive results. This shows the efforts of the whole industry and the capacity of Vietnamese high school students.
Higher education has made progress, many universities are present in prestigious ranking groups in the world. Some schools and training programs are present in the top 150 in Asia. Many new training programs, new fields, especially in new cutting-edge engineering technology have been deployed in recent years.
Vietnam's vocational education has been integrating more and more deeply and widely in the region and the world through the organization and participation in national vocational skills competitions, ASEAN and world vocational skills competitions with increasingly high scale and results. Vietnam has formed a team of vocational educators, vocational skills experts, and vocational skills ambassadors of national, regional and international level throughout the country.
Developing the teaching staff as the focus and goal
Minister Nguyen Kim Son said: Over the past 5 years, the Party and the State have paid special attention to policies for teachers. Many policy mechanisms have been built, especially the Law on Teachers passed by the National Assembly, in which the development of the teaching staff is the focus and goal . The teaching staff has become more confident, excited and committed to the profession. It is encouraging that there are more candidates applying to pedagogical majors and the scores for admission to pedagogical schools are among the highest as in recent years. This is a positive change in the depth of developing the teaching staff, towards the future of the industry and the country.
Increasing learning opportunities and lifelong learning for people and building a learning society have also promoted the scale of the entire education and training system to increase sharply in recent years. The work of promoting learning, promoting talents, the movement to build community learning models has developed strongly, and the work of eliminating illiteracy has achieved good results...
Over the past 5 years, the typical advanced examples of the Education sector are groups and individuals with outstanding achievements, recognized through patriotic emulation movements. These are examples of good people, good deeds; in management, teaching, learning, scientific research, having positive impacts, spreading in the community and society. The excellence, dedication, creativity of typical groups and individuals, a part of which are present at today's event, have contributed very positively to the development of educational institutions and the whole sector.
Over the past 5 years, many collectives and individuals in the education sector have been honored to receive awards from the President. In particular, the First Class Labor Medal was awarded to the Ministry of Education and Training, the Second Class Independence Medal to 1 individual, the Third Class Independence Medal to 1 individual and many Labor Medals of various classes; The Prime Minister signed a decision to award the Government's Emulation Flag to 37 collectives, the National Emulation Fighter to 15 individuals, and the Prime Minister's Certificate of Merit to 48 collectives and 269 individuals. In the 15th awarding period in 2020, the President signed a decision to award 18 People's Teachers and 919 Meritorious Teachers; In the 16th awarding round in 2023, the President signed a decision to award the title of People's Teacher to 21 teachers, the title of Excellent Teacher to 1,167 teachers, along with many other emulation titles and forms of commendation to teachers.
"To achieve today's achievements, over the past 80 years, the education sector has always received special attention from the Party, the State, the Government, and the entire people and has been oriented as a strategic breakthrough, a top national policy with the important task of developing people, training human resources and nurturing talents to serve the country's development," Minister Nguyen Kim Son shared.
At the same time, the head of the education sector emphasized: This year's November 20 anniversary has many special features, with many new policies issued by the Party and the State to develop the teaching staff. That is a great joy, an encouragement for those working in education.
This year, for the first time, the teaching profession has been institutionalized by the Law on Teachers. From the past to the present, the teaching profession has been respected as a noble profession, respecting teachers is a traditional value. Up to now, with the promulgation of the Law on Teachers, the elevation of educators, the development of the teaching staff, the responsibilities and obligations of teachers, the protection of teachers... have been legalized. Ethics, culture, and customs have now been codified, creating legitimacy, sustainability, and transparency for the teaching profession. This is an honor and a legal condition for teachers to promote their social role.
"On the part of the education sector, teachers need to be grateful to society for bringing nobility to the profession; there needs to be a reward worthy of the trust, care and expectations. All teachers need to strive to cultivate, practice, and study continuously, to always be a bright example for students to follow, bright enough to shine and guide students, valuable enough to inspire and persuade, especially exemplary in personality, spirit of learning and creativity, love and fairness. With the good tradition and with the efforts of teachers, I deeply believe that we will do those things well," said the Minister of Education and Training.
