Teachers believe Resolution 71 will remove many bottlenecks in education

Resolution 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training development brings great opportunities for the education sector to break through and create breakthroughs in the new era of development.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Huyen Thao, teacher at Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted (HCMC), assessed that this resolution brings many great opportunities for the education sector, so it should be grasped, and is considered the door to bring Vietnamese education into a new era.

On the other hand, Resolution 71-NQ/TW sets out specific and clear goals and directions such as: by 2045, Vietnam must have 5 elite universities and be in the top 100 universities in the world .

In terms of institutions and policies, Resolution 71-NQ/TW has proposed solutions to remove bottlenecks in education such as: increasing preferential allowances to 70% and 100% for disadvantaged areas; committing to spend 20% of total state budget expenditure, of which 5% is for investment, 3% for higher education; building elite universities; attracting international experts; focusing on STEM and promoting strong digital transformation; considering artificial intelligence (AI) as a turning point to create breakthrough changes, bringing education into a new era.

According to Dr. Thao, Resolution 71-NQ/TW sets clear and specific goals in training human resources to become global citizens, good at foreign languages, technology, critical thinking and preserving cultural identity.

To achieve this goal, the State strongly mobilizes resources from society, businesses, funding funds and pays attention to non-public education. All are specified by clear targets and roadmaps, no longer general as before.

"This shows the determination and efforts of the Party and State in realizing the goals before the new school year, and is completely consistent with the general development context of the region and the world. The explosion of science and technology applications in all fields along with the transformation in thinking and perception of the world in the context of integration and cooperation at a new level. There, all citizens and countries aim for a common goal, but still have to preserve their own national identity," Ms. Thao shared.

The key opening point for Vietnamese education to approach and integrate with the region and the world?

According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Huyen Thao, Resolution 71-NQ/TW clearly states that international cooperation in the field of education and training is focused on and expanded in many forms to mobilize investment resources from developed countries, corporations and foreign enterprises. At the same time, training of high-quality human resources is promoted through the establishment of scholarship funds.

According to Ms. Thao, along with that is the expansion, diversification and deepening of international cooperation mechanisms in education, training and scientific research. The increased application of international standards in the national education system is carried out in a manner appropriate to the conditions and circumstances of Vietnam.

At the same time, according to Ms. Thao, it is necessary to promote negotiations and signing of agreements and treaties on cooperation in the fields of education, training, science and technology; actively participate in organizations to ensure quality and develop international education.

In addition, it is necessary to improve mechanisms and policies to effectively support higher education institutions in cooperating and linking with prestigious universities and large enterprises abroad, especially in key areas and emerging technologies. Encouraging cooperation and training links according to digital education models and across borders is also an important direction.

"This is considered a key opening point for Vietnamese education to approach and integrate with the region and the world. Resolution 71 has clearly and specifically pointed out the forms of cooperation, allowing the application of international education models suitable to the conditions and circumstances of our country," Dr. Nguyen Thi Huyen Thao assessed.
