Many important results
Reporting at the conference, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc said: In the period of 2011-2022, the Central Highlands provinces have implemented the policies of the Party, the State and the Ministry of Education and Training in the field of education and training in accordance with the practical conditions of the locality. Some localities have had specific policies to create positive changes in the scale and quality of education, contributing to gradually narrowing the gap between the localities in the Central Highlands and the whole country.
Total state budget expenditure for education and training in the region has increased gradually over the years. In 2021, total state budget expenditure for education and training was VND 12,812 billion, an increase of 56% compared to 2011... Thanks to that, the network of schools and classrooms in the Central Highlands region has been consolidated and widely developed, meeting the diverse learning needs of the people.
By 2022, the entire region will have no more communes without preschool education, all villages and hamlets will have preschool classes. All communes will have primary schools; schools and combined classes will be opened in most villages and hamlets in remote, isolated, and extremely disadvantaged areas, creating opportunities for ethnic minority children of all school age to go to school.
Most communes have junior high schools, and all districts have high schools. Many localities have built inter-commune junior high schools and high schools. By the 2021-2022 school year, the whole region will have 3,984 preschool, general education, and continuing education facilities, an increase of 494 preschool, general education, and continuing education facilities compared to the 2010-2011 school year.
Policies on human resource development, illiteracy eradication, and implementation of the Millennium Development Goals on education in ethnic minority areas have been given attention and promoted. In particular, attention has been paid to the poor, near-poor, ethnic minorities in economically disadvantaged areas and communes, and other disadvantaged groups, contributing significantly to improving people's knowledge, training human resources, and reducing poverty in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
The system of ethnic boarding schools and semi-boarding schools has been maintained and developed. To date, the whole region has 59 ethnic boarding schools with about 13,533 students and 68 ethnic boarding schools with about 12,494 students, of which 49 ethnic boarding schools have been recognized as meeting national standards.
The quality of education in ethnic minority boarding schools and schools with boarding students has changed significantly. In the 2021-2022 school year, the graduation rate of students in junior high schools reached 99.7%, and that of high schools reached 98.7%. The rate of primary boarding students completing their education level reached 98.9%; the rate of junior high boarding students completing their education level reached 92%... which has significantly contributed to improving the cultural level of ethnic minority students in the province, while creating human resources for ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, and areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions...
There are still many difficulties and challenges.
According to Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc, in addition to the achieved results, the development of education and training in the Central Highlands region still faces many difficulties, limitations and problems such as: Planning the school network is still inadequate; facilities and teaching equipment have not met the needs. The review and arrangement of the school network in some places is not really scientific and effective, not ensuring the learning environment for children and students.

The implementation of regimes and policies for teachers who are mobilized, strengthened and rotated from areas with favorable conditions to work in areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions still faces some difficulties.
