To promote political and ideological education in schools, according to Mr. Nguyen Kim Luyen, Deputy Head of the Political and Ideological Department, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, party committees at all levels must maintain and promote the role of political core, clearly identifying that regular education, training, and improvement of character and moral qualities are important contents to build a clean and strong Party organization in terms of politics, ideology, organization and ethics. Along with that, schools should strengthen education on ethics, lifestyle, and civilized urban living for cadres, party members, students; improve the quality of flag-salute activities, extracurricular activities, after-school activities, and source activities to educate awareness and ideology for learners.

In particular, the requirement to promote the autonomy mechanism in educational institutions has been focused on all three factors: academics (content, teaching methods), finance and management staff and teachers.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Cong Gia Khanh, Rector of the University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University), after 10 years of implementing Resolution 29, Vietnam's higher education has changed positively in all aspects, in which the quality of education has been gradually improved, and the university governance model through the university council has been implemented. In the context of limited resources, thanks to the attention of Party committees at all levels, effective coordination between ministries, branches and localities, especially the efforts of the team of teachers and education managers, the education and training sector has fundamentally changed in quality, which has been recognized and highly appreciated by international organizations.
