Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Nguyen Huy Can, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Promotion of Education, emphasized the importance of promoting education, talent and building a learning society and a learning city in the city.

Accordingly, in recent times, the work of promoting learning, promoting talents, building a learning society and a learning city has always received deep attention from the leaders of the City Party Committee and the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, as well as effective coordination between the Departmentof Education and Training and the Association for Promoting Learning at all levels.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Cuc, President of the District 4 Education Promotion Association, Ho Chi Minh City, mentioned the local education promotion activities. Accordingly, District 4 has built a strong education promotion association system with 100% of wards and establishments having an education promotion association branch.

District 4’s education promotion activities such as fundraising walks, reading culture days, and piggy bank opening festivals have been held regularly, attracting a large number of people to participate. This not only helps to encourage learning but also creates community cohesion.

Ms. Le Thi Thuy Trang, President of the Cu Chi District Education Promotion Association, pointed out the difficulties in implementing education promotion work in the district.

One of the major challenges is the shortage of human resources and allowances for heads of the education promotion association. Many people doing this work have to hold multiple positions, leading to overload and inability to complete the task well.

Therefore, Ms. Le Thi Thuy Trang recommended that the city should have a mechanism to support remuneration for education promotion officers.

Mr. Le Hong Son, Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, spoke at the seminar.

At the Seminar, delegates proposed many solutions to improve the effectiveness of education promotion work, especially in terms of innovating methods of propaganda, dissemination and implementation of emulation movements on education promotion. The construction of effective learning models, from family, clan to community, was also discussed.

Mr. Le Hong Son, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Propaganda Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, affirmed that the work of promoting learning and talent is not only the responsibility of the learning promotion association but requires the coordination of the entire political system.

At the same time, it is necessary to continue to raise public awareness of the important role of lifelong learning. Only when everyone is aware of the importance of learning, and then turns awareness into concrete action, can the work of promoting learning truly be effective.

Party committees and local authorities need to continue to direct, closely monitor and introduce appropriate policies to promote the movement to encourage learning.
