According to the Minister, going beyond the framework of a mere professional award, the Award has created a prestigious forum on education with wide influence.

This is not only a gathering place for journalists who love, understand and are passionate about the education sector, but also a living proof of the press's companionship, supervision and creation in the development of education and training that the sector is deploying and implementing.

Commenting on the quantity and quality of works participating in this year's Award, the Minister said that each article and reportage does not only reflect but also is a voice of sharing and contributes to building trust and social companionship with education and training; thereby, the press affirms its role as a companion, a profound critic and a "midwife" for the industry's innovations, helping education policies to be more closely linked to reality, while ensuring that the voices of teachers and students are fully heard and understood.

In order to meet the country's urgent development requirements, the issuance of Resolution 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development and Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology, innovation and digital transformation has created a strategic lever, providing a strong and substantial driving force for education to become a decisive factor in the future and destiny of the nation.

In particular, Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW especially emphasizes the need for innovation and change in awareness, vision and thinking about education such as: investment in education, education management and education practice. This is the decisive factor for the success of the breakthrough in education and training development.

In this regard, the Minister hopes that press agencies, news agencies, and journalists will participate and support the sector to successfully carry out the tasks assigned by the Party and State to the Education sector, making important contributions to the country's development in the face of new development requirements.
