The National Press Award “For the Cause of Vietnam’s Education” is organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in coordination with the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Vietnam Journalists Association, with the Education and Times Newspaper as the standing unit. The award is for press works published in all types of press (print, electronic, radio, television), distributed domestically and internationally from September 5, 2022 to September 5, 2023.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son delivered the opening speech at the press conference.

In his opening speech, Deputy Minister Hoang Minh Son said: Through the National Press Award "For the Cause of Vietnamese Education", we together recognize and objectively evaluate the contributions of the education sector to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. Through this, it helps society understand education correctly and fully; thereby sharing, supporting, and accompanying teachers across the country in particular and the entire education sector in general.

Last season, the Organizing Committee received nearly 800 entries in 4 types of journalism. The quality of the entries has been getting better and better, reflecting the lives of teachers and closely following current issues in the education sector. Many entries have left a deep impression, thanks to the careful investment in both content and form. The entries deeply analyze the "hot" issues of the education sector. Many entries spread beautiful stories of the education sector; examples of good people, good deeds; the noble hearts and dedication of teachers... Among them are teachers who live in remote areas, stick to schools, stick to classes, and volunteer to "sow letters" in remote places of the country.

The Deputy Minister hopes to continue receiving positive responses from journalists, reporters, and collaborators from central and local press agencies across the country.
