The report at the conference assessed: With the close direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, together with the effective coordination of central ministries, branches, party committees, and local authorities; the support of the majority of people and parents; especially with the determination and responsibility of the team of teachers, education managers, and the efforts of students, the entire education sector has completed the 2023-2024 school year plan, with many positive results. The work of universalizing preschool education, primary education, secondary education, and illiteracy eradication continues to receive attention. The 2018 general education program with many new points has been implemented synchronously and fully in all subjects and educational activities of all classes nationwide. The quality of mass and key education continues to be improved. The Ministry of Education and Training has successfully organized the 2024 High School Graduation Exam. Autonomy in higher education is gradually becoming a reality.
In addition to the above achievements, the implementation of the 2023-2024 school year plan still has some shortcomings and limitations. The shortage of teachers is still common in most localities, local recruitment is slow, and the assigned number of positions has not been fully recruited, affecting the assurance and improvement of education quality. The network of preschool and general education facilities is not distributed reasonably in some places, and there is still a shortage of schools and classes in big cities, industrial parks, densely populated areas and mountainous areas. The work of ensuring safety for preschool children in independent and private preschool facilities, especially in urban areas, industrial parks and export processing zones, is still limited. The quality of university education has not met the human resource requirements for new economic sectors and high technology.
