Meanwhile, 93 percent of the workers have engaged in vocational training, and more than 75 of them belong to the highly skilled workforce of the province’s spearhead economic sectors.

The rate of attendance at the right age for primary and secondary education reached 100 percent, with 80 percent of children with disabilities, who are in primary school age, attending school.

Quach The Tan, Chairman of the provincial Study Encouragement Association, highlighted that for adults, the movement focuses on improving the competence level of computer, foreign languages, ​​professional, and labour skills.

The lifelong learning campaign also promotes sharpening life skills, and building a better personal and community life. In the past five years, life skills teaching as part of academic education, particularly via extra-curricular activities, have attracted the participation of 94.3 percent of local students.
