The report presented at the conference stated that, in recent times, guided by the principles of "good life - beautiful faith" and "religion accompanying the nation," religious organizations in the province have actively participated in the movement to promote learning and talent, build a learning society, promote national cultural identity, build a civilized lifestyle, strengthen national unity, and contribute to the province's socio-economic development. Currently, the province has 261 Education Promotion Boards in religious establishments; 713 religious dignitaries, officials, and clergy participate in the work of the Education Promotion Association; and 161,052 members of the Education Promotion Association are followers and believers.

From 2022 to the present, religious institutions have coordinated with social organizations and schools to raise over 40.3 billion VND to support the construction and repair of 15 classrooms and 90 auxiliary facilities, donate 1,007 bicycles and 37,533 gifts to students, provide scholarships and support for poor students to overcome difficulties and attend school; and raise over 3.4 billion VND to support 2,401 families in overcoming difficulties, creating conditions for their children to study and not drop out of school prematurely…

Chairman of the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning, Pham Dang Khoa, delivered a speech at the conference.

In order to promote emulation movements to build a learning society and encourage lifelong learning, 166,765 religious followers and believers have registered to become "Learning Citizens"; 72,723 families of religious followers and believers have registered to become "Learning Families"; and 224 religious establishments have registered to become "Learning Religious Communities"...

Besides the achievements, the work of building a learning society and lifelong learning still faces some difficulties such as: the dissemination of the Party and State's guidelines and policies on promoting learning and talent development, and building a learning society has not been implemented promptly in some localities; the results of developing learning promotion organizations and members in religious establishments in localities and religions within the province still show a large disparity; the results of building learning models in religious communities are still low compared to the overall results of the province…

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee H'Yim Kđoh spoke at the conference.

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee H'Yim Kđoh acknowledged and praised the positive and effective contributions of religious organizations in promoting education and talent development, and building a learning society in the province.
