Delegate Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nga ( Quang Tri Delegation), proposed   access   Government term report, in   there   focus on education and training   

Regarding the results of the term , Ms. Nga   appreciate many important results stated in section 8 part 1 of the report . That demonstrates the serious efforts, innovation and responsibility of the Government, especially the dedication.    Minister of Education and Training.   However, it is necessary to summarize more clearly the outstanding achievements that previous terms have not achieved.  

From then on, Mrs. Nga   proposed emphasis   The 2021–2025 term marks important steps forward in strategic thinking on education. Specifically   Specifically , the Government has advised the Central Executive Committee to issue Resolution 71 on breakthrough in education and training development, placing education in a strategic breakthrough position, directly linked to national competitiveness and aspirations for national development.  

Besides,   The Government has submitted to the Central Government a Resolution and submitted to the National Assembly a Law on universalizing preschool education for children aged 3-5. This is a deeply humane policy, creating a foundation for early human development .   This is a decision that few countries in the world can make.   Job   Free tuition for preschool and primary school students demonstrates the State's great determination to ensure the right to education and reduce the financial burden for millions of families .   At the end of this term, in a very busy context, the Government promptly submitted to the National Assembly the National Target Program for Education, creating a medium and long-term investment mechanism, instead of fragmented projects as before.  

Copper   time,   The Government has drafted the Law on Teachers and submitted it to the National Assembly for consideration and approval, which is very important in building and developing the teaching staff; the people who play a decisive role in the quality of education. The Government has promptly submitted and amended many laws on education and submitted them to the National Assembly.   i. Special and outstanding Resolution to create a legal corridor for the implementation of new policies in Resolution 71 of the Central Committee.  

“ These strong decisions are important.    in elevating education to the top national policy and deciding the future of the nation ," said Ms. Nga.

Beside   In addition to the results achieved, Ms. Nga   It was noted that the Government Report devoted five lines to educational constraints.   education and training , the problems are still too general.   there   need to identify the shortcomings more clearly ,   especially more thoroughly and deeply on implementation of change   new fundamental and comprehensive education and training   and implement strategic breakthroughs in human resources according to the Congress Resolution.   XIII   and Resolution 16 of the National Assembly   festival   second term 02 1- 20 26 .

Raising the great concern and also the wish of many voters , Ms. Nga said,   exam burden due to post-secondary streaming issues   basic education   There are still shortcomings in perception, viewpoint and implementation .   Project   The Government's " Career education and student orientation in general education for the period 2018 - 2025" sets a target that by 2025, at least 40% of high school graduates will have completed vocational training.   basic education   continue studying at vocational training institutions at elementary and intermediate levels.

According to   Mrs. Nga,   the stream is misunderstood ,   wrong implementation   variable   in reality   Those who fail the high school entrance exam go to vocational school ;   Streaming is tied to failure, not choice. Forced streaming   Instead, those who have strengths and a clear career orientation should choose the right path.     

“ The 10th grade entrance exam is becoming a “miniature national exam”, with heavy pressure. Meanwhile, the average   high school   is a general education level, which means that all students have the right to study. The rate of students entering secondary school   high school   The low level of access in some localities shows that in recent times we have not properly ensured the right to access 12 years of general education. Looking at the exhausted, dull faces of 15-year-old children under pressure from exams; reading the desperate letters from children when they failed to pass the high school entrance exam   high school   "It hurts my heart ," Mrs. Nga said sadly.

Another worrying paradox is taking place .   Public school exams are too stressful. Many students, despite studying well, cannot pass the competitive exams .   As a result, students from poor families are forced to attend private schools, with tuition fees beyond their families' means .   Private schools then have to provide high-quality services for families with means. This is making equity in education not guaranteed. This problem has been identified by the Government in its summary reports on the implementation of the Education Law .   However, in the mission report   period   of the Government   cover   in the section of shortcomings not mentioned   clear  

From   Based on the above analysis, Ms. Nga hopes that the Government must take immediate action such as exempting tuition fees for students.   born   general education. In the 2026-2027 school year,    open the door   high school , invest systematically   vocational high schools and respect the right to choose of learners. Improve exams, adjust the admission method of grade 10 to reduce pressure, more opportunities for students. Streaming must be based on voluntariness and capacity, not turning streaming into a "barrier" from grade 9. Build streaming based on the right to study. Ensure enough places for secondary school   public high school   Students are not forced to stream .

“ We have in our hands progressive policies, strong decisions, great expectations. But implementation is still a challenge. Reality shows that many policies cannot be implemented for two reasons : lack of synchronous solutions ;   lack of guaranteed resources. The thinking has changed, the policies have been issued, but the enforcement power must be sufficient to create clear changes. Therefore, we recommend and expect that the next term must be a term of action, to turn policies into reality; a term to turn the Party's resolutions and the State's laws into specific, clear action programs of the Government; with specific results in each classroom, each school, each teacher and each student ," Ms. Nga said.
