(HBO) – One of the biggest limitations of local public employees is the lack of foreign language proficiency. In the context of global integration, foreign language proficiency has received greater attention from Hoa Binh authorities.

Public employees in Lac Son district actively learn English online.

With the aim of strengthening training and improving foreign language proficiency for public employees, the provincial People’s Committee on January 3, 2020 issued Plan 02 on implementing a national programme on learning foreign languages during 2019-2030. One of the important goals of this project is building a professional and high-quality contingent of public employees who can use foreign languages proficiently at work and work in international environment.

The province aims to have 25 percent of local public employees at provincial and district levels, especially those who hold managerial posts and are under 40 years old, to gain foreign language proficiency at level 4, while 60 percent and 50 percent of officials holding leadership and management positions respectively will achieve language proficiency at this level or higher.

The development of international cooperation and building of a favourable environment for foreign language learning for public employees have been carried out in the province over the past time. The locality has stepped up cooperation with organizations, agencies and units at home and abroad to organize language training courses, as well as linking with foreign training facilities and sending employees to courses abroad to improve their professional capacity, foreign language skills, and working style in international environment./.
