Persistently build a culture of quality associated with school culture

The Ministry of Education and Training issued a Notice of Conclusion by Permanent Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong at the Conference to review the work of assessing the quality of educational institutions and building schools that meet national standards in the 2019-2025 period, and directions for implementation in the 2026-2030 period.

Gradually forming a culture of quality

After listening to the report of the Department of Quality Management, comments and discussions at the Conference, Permanent Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong concluded:

In the 2019-2025 period, the work of assessing the quality of education and recognizing national standards for preschools, general education institutions, and continuing education institutions has achieved important results, contributing to improving the quality, equity of education, and sustainable development of preschool and general education in Vietnam.

Through the work of assessing the quality of education and building schools that meet national standards, educational management levels and schools have access to and apply progressive, quality-oriented, advanced and effective management models. Schools identify the current quality status, strengths and weaknesses, and develop and implement quality improvement plans that are more appropriate, feasible and effective.

From there, it contributes to improving school management capacity, implementing educational programs, innovating teaching, learning and assessment, familiarizing and forming a "quality culture" of managers, teachers, staff and students in the school.

The results of education quality assessment and recognition of national standards contribute significantly to increasing the interest and trust in investment of resources for education by central and local levels.

In addition to the achieved results, in the recent period, the work of assessing the quality of preschool education, general education, continuing education and recognizing schools that meet national standards is still limited due to subjective and objective reasons: Uneven awareness and implementation capacity of some managers and teachers; professional processes are still formal, heavily administrative, time-consuming; limitations in monitoring and supporting quality improvement; difficulties in mobilizing and allocating resources to invest in facilities, ensuring conditions to achieve and maintain national standards...
