The project received comments from the National Education and Human Resources Development Council members at a conference held in Hanoi on July 24.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, who chairs the Council and Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, the council’s Vice Chairman, co-presided over the event.

Under the project, prepared by the Ministry of Education and Training and the Party Central Committee’s Information and Education Commission, by 2030, Vietnam’s education would meet regional standards.

With specific targets for preschool, high school education, vocation training, and tertiary education introduced, basic changes in education quality would be created to meet requirements for the nation’s industrialisation and modernisation in the context of developing the socialist-driven market economy and increasing international integration.

According to PM Dung, the project should give critical evaluation on the education-training sector’s achievements and contributions to the country’s socio-economic development while pointing out the existed shortcomings for correction.

Deputy PM Nhan, for his part, emphasised the need to reform the organisation of examinations as well as the assessment of students’ study records as an important measure to make a drastic change in the whole country’s education and training system.

The project will be submitted to the Party Central Committee for approval.
