However, there are still many difficulties: teaching equipment according to the 2018 General Education Program has not been provided in time; some classrooms are degraded, the current classrooms have small areas, not ensuring teaching and learning for primary school with 35 students/class, secondary school with 45 students/class; vocational education, educational quality assessment, and building schools that meet national standards still face difficulties. The teaching staff is still surplus and lacking locally; the contract and recruitment of additional teachers have not met the actual requirements at school units. A number of teachers are still limited in using electronic applications, the information technology infrastructure is not really synchronized...

Mr. Ta Thanh Vu, Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Education and Training, reported on the difficulties and obstacles at the beginning of the school year as well as the progress of the project to teach 2 sessions/day, organize boarding schools, invest in clean drinking water systems and toilets up to this point.

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Minh Luan requested: "The recruitment and selection of education officials must be carried out in accordance with regulations. In the meantime, units need to be flexible in contracts and increase hours to ensure that teaching and learning are not interrupted. Vocational education will soon be rearranged in accordance with the direction of the Central Government. The appointment of education management officials will be carried out according to the roadmap of the two-level local government. At the same time, localities need to review and rearrange specialized education officials at the commune level, and reasonably arrange school staff such as security, medical, and sanitation to ensure stable educational activities."
