Meaningful activities towards the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of National Education (now the Ministry of Education and Training)
Last week, the Education sector had many meaningful activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2; at the same time, it celebrated the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of National Education (now the Ministry of Education and Training).
On the morning of August 19, in Quang Ninh, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son attended the inauguration and groundbreaking ceremony of a number of key national and local projects. Here, the Minister attended and spoke at the inauguration and plaque-laying ceremony of Trong Diem Secondary School (Ha Long Ward), a school with a long tradition of studiousness and a pioneering position in the quality of teaching and learning in Quang Ninh province.
On August 20, Minister Nguyen Kim Son, Permanent Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, Deputy Minister Hoang Minh Son, and Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung met with former leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training. At the meeting, the Minister expressed his thanks to the former leaders of the Ministry and shared the results of the work that the Ministry of Education and Training has done in the past as well as the work that needs to be done in the coming time with the goal of developing and improving the quality of the education sector.
On the morning of August 22, the Ministry of Education and Training held a meeting to honor 80 teachers, representing 3,000 teachers who were mobilized to do educational work in the South during the resistance war against the US to save the country - teachers who went to B.
At the meeting, representatives of teachers who went to B shared stories and touching memories during their time working in education in the South during the resistance war against America to save the country.
Speaking at the ceremony, Permanent Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong said: The history of the Vietnamese nation is a history of golden pages of steadfast and indomitable struggle for independence and freedom. In which there has always been an important contribution from the education sector, specifically from teachers.
During the resistance war against the US to save the country, to gain independence, freedom and unify the country, when the people of the South asked for support from the people of the North, besides the troops going to the South to fight, there was a special force - teachers who went to B - who were also "soldiers on the cultural - educational front" in the liberated areas in the South.
Since the early 1960s, the need for education staff and teachers in the liberated areas of the South became urgent; in response to the call of the Party, the State and the people of the South, thousands of staff, teachers and newly graduated students from teacher training colleges in the North wrote volunteer applications, ready to leave their families, say goodbye to their familiar podiums, and accept the mission to go to the battlefields of the South.
According to archival documents, from 1961 to December 1974, there were many waves of education officials and teachers with a total of more than 3,000 teachers volunteering and being mobilized by the Ministry of Education to go to the Southern battlefield (coded as going to B).
With the great efforts of local teachers and the timely and prompt support of the Ministry of Education in the North, within just 4 months, all schools in the South after liberation had re-established their management and leadership apparatus, rearranged the team of teachers, lecturers and learning conditions to simultaneously open the school year as usual, and students could go to school normally. That success had an important contribution from the teachers who went to B.
Universities simultaneously announce admission benchmark scores for 2025
On August 22, after 10 virtual filtering rounds, universities simultaneously announced the 2025 benchmark scores. The total number of virtual filtering rounds was 4 times more than the Ministry of Education and Training initially expected, to ensure the most accurate results from the huge amount of data from candidates and schools. This year, nearly 850,000 candidates registered for university admission, with about 7.6 million wishes. Many schools recorded 2-2.5 times more candidates than last year.
In 2025, the number of candidates applying for admission increased; for the first time, colleges participated, there was no more early admission and the entire method was implemented in Round 1.
Therefore, to ensure accurate, fair and objective admission results, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that training institutions carefully review all data and admission methods, ensuring that no candidates are missed or incorrectly identified; and limit errors arising during the admission process. At the same time, carefully calculate the options, propose appropriate virtual rates, avoid creating a large virtual number, affecting the recruitment sources of other training institutions as well as recruiting beyond the target and training capacity of the training institution.
