2025 is the year the Ministry of Education and Training completes the first cycle of comprehensive and fundamental reform of education from grades 1 to 12 according to Resolution 29 of the Party Central Committee and Resolution 88 of the National Assembly. This is also the year to start implementing the Education Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
On this occasion, Minister ofEducation and Training Nguyen Kim Son shared with the press about the work the sector will focus on implementing in the new year.
- Minister Nguyen Kim Son , could you please share about the key tasks of the education sector in 2025?
Minister Nguyen Kim Son: In 2025, the education sector has many tasks and tasks to do to continue the journey of fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training.
In particular, the major task is that the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to coordinate with relevant ministries, branches and agencies to complete the Government's Action Program to implement Conclusion No. 91-KL/TW dated August 10, 2024 of the Politburo on continuing to implement Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW. After the Action Program is issued, plans will be developed and implementation will begin.
Currently, the Ministry of Education and Training is in the process of finalizing so that in early 2025 it can issue the Education and Training Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045. Together with the Action Program to implement Conclusion No. 91 of the Politburo, the Education Development Strategy will be an important basis for the next steps of education and training development.
If 2024 is considered the year marking the completion of the first cycle of implementing the 2018 General Education Program for three levels of education nationwide, then the first half of 2025 with tasks that need to be done well such as finishing the second semester, high school graduation exams, college and university admissions, etc. can close this first cycle. After 4 years of implementation in practice, in 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training will summarize the first phase of implementing the 2018 General Education Program to set goals and solutions for more in-depth innovation for the next phase.
In the first half of 2025, the draft Law on Teachers will be submitted to the 2nd XV National Assembly at the 9th Session. Determining this as a major task, the Ministry of Education and Training has been focusing on perfecting the draft after the first consultation with the National Assembly. We hope that the enthusiasm and aspirations for a draft Law that will develop the teaching force, remove obstacles for a series of issues related to teacher management over the past time... will convince the National Assembly deputies and convince society. Not only us but more than 1.6 million teachers nationwide are waiting for the time when the Law on Teachers is officially passed and put into practice. Along with that, we will review the Law on Education, the Law on Higher Education, and the Law on Vocational Education to consider amendments and supplements.
When the 2018 General Education Program completes its first cycle, the new Preschool Education Program will be piloted in 20 provinces/cities nationwide. 2025 will mark the beginning of innovation in preschool education - the most basic but currently most difficult level.
The country is entering a “new era - the era of national development,” recently the Politburo issued a Resolution on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation; previously, the Prime Minister issued a Directive on promoting human resource training for the semiconductor industry and some core digital technology industries, and many other major policies and guidelines. The education sector clearly identifies its responsibilities in this important period, because any “breakthrough” to be successful must start with people, with human resources.
Along with ministries, departments, branches and localities, 2025 will also be the year that the Ministry of Education and Training and the education sector will focus on streamlining, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of State management in the management field. In the immediate future, we are organizing the implementation of merging and receiving units and focal points according to the direction of the Central Government. And for this group of tasks, there will be a lot of work to do in 2025.
- On December 31, 2024, the Prime Minister approved the Education Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045. So what is the significance of this Strategy for the industry in the coming time, Minister?
Minister Nguyen Kim Son : The education development strategy for the period up to 2030, with a vision to 2045, is an important step to institutionalize and continue to thoroughly grasp the Party and State's guiding views on education development in the spirit of Resolution 29-NQ/TW dated November 4, 2013 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training; Resolution of the 13th Party Congress, Conclusion No. 91/KL-TW dated August 12, 2024 of the Politburo on continuing to implement Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW and the 10-year socio-economic development strategy 2021-2030.
This strategy continues to affirm the view that education and training development is a top national policy, playing a key role in national development and needs to be prioritized for investment; continuing to strongly and fundamentally innovate education and training in the direction of comprehensively developing learners' capacity and qualities, especially their capacity for innovation and creativity; implementing well the principle of learning combined with practice, theory closely linked to practice, school education combined with family and social education; promoting a learning society; proactively integrating internationally.
The strategy affirms that the goal of education and training is for people and human happiness, maximizing the human factor, taking people as the center, subject, goal, driving force and resource of development, creating the foundation for realizing the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, civilization, prosperous and happy country.
The education development strategy for the period up to 2030, with a vision to 2045, sets the general goal of developing modern Vietnamese education, promoting the nation's fine traditions, absorbing human civilization, comprehensively developing Vietnamese people, meeting the new requirements of socio-economic development in the new era. By 2030, Vietnamese education will reach the advanced level of the Asian region and by 2045, it will reach the advanced level of the world.
For the education sector, 2025 will be the starting year, the year focusing on organizing the implementation of the Education Development Strategy for the period up to 2030, with a vision to 2045, in order to soon achieve the goals set by the Strategy, contributing significantly to bringing the country into a new era.
- With so many important tasks set for 2025, on the occasion of the New Year, what message does the Minister have for officials, teachers, and students in the entire industry as well as parents and society?
Minister Nguyen Kim Son : 2025 can be considered a pivotal year, because many tasks and tasks of the year, when completed, will create a foundation and momentum for the development process in the next 5 years. With many tasks and tasks to do in 2025, I hope that the entire industry has made efforts to continue to make efforts to best complete the tasks and tasks that have been set.
The year 2024 marks the determination in investment policies and attention to education from the central to local levels; many localities have issued specific policies on tuition fees, policies for teachers, investment in facilities, etc. to promote the development of education and training. I hope that these concerns and drastic and effective policies will continue to be demonstrated in 2025 and the following years.
I also hope that the companionship, understanding and sharing of society with the education sector will increase even more.
On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to send my best wishes for health, peace and happiness to all the staff, teachers and employees who have been and are working in the education sector. I wish all the students a new year filled with joy, progress and achievements in their studies.
Thank you, Minister!
