Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ba Minh discussed at the workshop.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ba Minh - former Director of the Department of Preschool Education ( Ministry of Education and Training ) said that to implement the goal of Resolution No. 218/2025/QH15: "By 2030, 100% of provinces and centrally-run cities will meet the standards of universal preschool education for children from 3 to 5 years old" will face some difficulties and challenges.

In particular, the network of schools and classes is still limited, not meeting the needs of people for childcare; the shortage of preschool teachers has lasted for many years and has not been resolved; facilities for preschool education still have many difficulties, many schools still have to use temporary classrooms that do not ensure safety; the policy mechanism for preschool education is not yet appropriate.

The workshop attracted hundreds of experts, scientists and managers to attend.

Therefore, the solution is to continue to improve the institutions and policy mechanisms for preschool education; develop the team of management staff and preschool teachers; innovate the preschool education program; improve the quality of child care and nurturing; arrange the school network, increase investment in facilities to implement universal preschool education for children from 3 to 5 years old; strengthen the leadership of local authorities and inter-sectoral coordination...

Having worked for many years at the Faculty of Educational Management - Hanoi National University of Education, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Kiem said that our Party has issued many excellent resolutions related to education. After studying the resolutions, schools must have specific action programs in their units; at the same time, there should be a separate topic on technological innovation so that teachers can grasp the basic skills to be able to guide students.

Delegates took souvenir photos at the end of the program.

"The workshop is a meaningful forum connecting theory and practice, research and action. Many delegates agreed that innovation in educational management and leadership must put people at the center to move towards an open, modern, humane and sustainable education. Investing in people and staff is a key factor to help education develop in the new era" - Prof. Dr. Dinh Quang Bao, former Principal of Hanoi National University of Education, emphasized.
