Golden opportunity for Vietnamese education to transform strongly

Breakthroughs

Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Principal of Trung Hieu Secondary School (Trung Thanh, Vinh Long ) pointed out 5 breakthroughs of Resolution No. 71/NQ-TW:

Putting education and training in the national development strategy: The Resolution identifies education and training as one of the key driving forces for rapid and sustainable development of the country in the new period. This is a shift from “priority” to “strategic breakthrough”.

Focus on quality and highly qualified human resources: The Resolution emphasizes fundamental and comprehensive innovation, taking the quality, capacity and qualities of learners as the center, with special attention to high-quality human resources, digital human resources, and creative research human resources.

Breakthrough in educational autonomy: Promote university autonomy, vocational education institution autonomy, create legal corridors and mechanisms for schools to be proactive and creative.

Application of science and technology, digital transformation: View digital transformation, AI, and new technology as levers to enhance the capacity of the education system.

Linking education with the labor market and socio-economic development: From "training according to ability" to "training according to social needs", closely linking schools - businesses - the state.

“These are breakthroughs because they fundamentally solve three long-standing “bottlenecks” of Vietnamese education: uneven quality, subsidized governance mechanisms, and a large gap between training and social needs,” Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan affirmed.

Affirming the great opportunities that Resolution No. 71/NQ-TW brings to Vietnamese education, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan said: First of all, the Resolution elevates the position of Vietnamese education to become an open, modern, integrated education system, creating conditions for Vietnam to participate more deeply in the global labor market.

Stronger investment opportunities: The State will prioritize resources and mobilize socialization to develop infrastructure, facilities, and teaching staff.

Promote innovation in programs and methods: Put learners at the center, encourage creativity, innovation, and develop qualities and abilities.

Motivating teachers and managers: New policies on training, remuneration, and encouraging innovation, thereby enhancing status and career motivation.

Promoting educational equity: Paying attention to remote areas and disadvantaged groups, ensuring that “no one is left behind” in accessing knowledge.

Resolute action, synchronous solutions, transparent implementation

In order for the Resolution to come into life and be truly effective, according to Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, we need to have synchronous and drastic solutions, specifically:

Perfecting institutions and policies: Issuing a synchronous legal framework for educational autonomy, financial mechanisms, and public-private partnership mechanisms in education and training.

Key investments: Prioritize investment in digital human resource training, key industries (AI, automation, new energy, high-tech healthcare, etc.).

Developing a team of teachers and managers: Fostering digital capacity, research capacity, modern pedagogical skills; having appropriate remuneration policies to retain talent.

Innovation in teaching, learning and assessment methods: From knowledge transfer to capacity development; from memory testing to assessment of thinking and problem-solving ability.

Promoting school-enterprise-society linkage: Linking training with labor needs, encouraging the model of "school in enterprise, enterprise in school".

Promoting digital transformation in education: National learning data system, smart classrooms, open digital learning materials, AI platforms supporting teaching and learning.

Substantive monitoring and evaluation: Avoid formalities; each agency, locality, and school must have a specific action plan, assigning responsibility to the head.

“It can be said that Resolution No. 71/NQ-TW is a golden opportunity for Vietnamese education to transform strongly; but success or failure depends largely on determination in action, synchronization in solutions, and transparency in implementation,” said Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan.
