In Official Dispatch No. 1581/BGDĐT-GDPT, the Ministry of Education and Training requested the provincial People's Committee to only review and identify the contents of state management of education at the district level that are being implemented to adjust and transfer to the provincial level (Department of Education and Training) or the commune People's Committee for management; carry out administrative activities related to education to operate normally, smoothly, continuously, without interruption, without affecting the normal activities of society, people, and businesses.

State management of education must be assigned to specialized agencies to ensure the implementation of tasks related to deciding on job positions, financial norms for education, assigning staff, and allocating budget for education in the province.

"Ensure strong decentralization but not laxity; do not omit, interrupt, or divide the content of professional management of education, and ensure the conditions for ensuring education quality in the national education system," the document stated.

The Ministry of Education and Training also requires unified implementation of state management of education for the sector's expertise; recruitment, arrangement, transfer, secondment, and development of teaching staff by provincial-level professional agencies (Department of Education and Training) to be implemented uniformly throughout the province to carry out general regulation and handle local teacher surplus and shortage situations.

During the implementation process at the local level, the Ministry of Education and Training requested the Provincial People's Committee: "Do not allow gaps, overlaps or dispersion of management tasks, especially in key areas such as: professional guidance, program content, staff management, finance, school facilities, inspection and examination".

The Ministry of Education and Training noted that the provincial People's Committee should assign the focal point for state management of the education sector to the level that has sufficient resources in terms of facilities, finance, and human resources to ensure the maintenance and development of education; clearly distinguish between professional tasks (directly assigned to the Department of Education and Training) and administrative and local tasks (directly assigned to the commune-level People's Committee); link decentralization with inspection and supervision mechanisms, improve the quality and effectiveness of education in the best conditions in the locality.

School Secondary , primary and preschool schools are managed by the commune level.

Regarding implementation, the Ministry of Education and Training proposed that localities maintain educational public service units and transfer to commune-level authorities the function of state management of education for secondary schools, primary schools, and kindergartens according to Conclusion No. 137 dated March 28 of the Politburo and the Secretariat on the Project to rearrange and reorganize administrative units at all levels and build a 2-level local government organization model.

The provincial People's Committee is responsible for directing specialized agencies to issue documents guiding the content of state management of education managed by the district level, transferring them to specialized agencies at the provincial level and the commune People's Committee when implementing the arrangement and reorganization of the two-level local government, ensuring that administrative activities related to education operate normally, smoothly, continuously without interruption, and do not affect the normal activities of society, people and businesses.
