At the conference, Ms. Lam Hong Lam Thuy, Head of the Primary Education Department, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, requested that the education departments of districts and primary schools continue to pay attention to the quality of teaching math and Vietnamese. She requested that all education departments not chase after achievements but look back at the above figures, assess the number of students who need to be re-tested in the summer to consider moving up to the next grade in each grade, find solutions, tutor and remediate for them. Only students who do not really have enough knowledge should stay in the same grade.

Ms. Thuy also hopes that schools and teachers will continue to pay attention to the students' circumstances, help and support them, and make sure that there are no more students who are traumatized, have not received proper care, and have to retake tests during the summer... because education is equal and humane for all students...
