Speaking at a working session with communal authorities,
Nguyen Van Quang, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman
of the provincial People’s Committee, said the province always pays attention
to investing in building infrastructure, promoting socio-economic development,
and improving living standards for people in mountainous communes. In the field
of education and training, the province prioritises investment in reinforcing
and building schools and providing teaching and learning equipment for disadvantaged
and remote areas, as well as creating the most favourable conditions for these
areas to develop education comprehensively.
He praised efforts made by Bac Son’s
authorities, people, officials, teachers and students in raising the quality of
teaching and learning. He reminded the commune to focus on improving the
capacity of the managerial and teaching staff in the coming time. The staff
should raise responsibility and actively improve knowledge and professional
capability to develop education in the mountainous areas. He also suggested
enhancing communication campaigns and encouraging the private sector to involve
in educational development. He also directed the provincial Department of
Education and Training and the People’s Committee of Tan Lac district to study
the school infrastructure building proposal of Bac Son commune and realise it
in 2018.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
