Over the past time, Hoa Binh province’s education and training sector has reserved resources to carry out the National Target Programme on Building New-style Rural Areas, focusing on two criteria in the field of education and training, including criterion No. 5 on schools and criterion No. 14 on education and training.
Over the past years, schools in Doc Lap commune of Hoa Binh city have been given funding to meet teaching and learning needs.
At the beginning of the year, the provincial Department of Education and Training issued a plan to implement the national target programme in the field of education and training in 2023. Hoa Binh also instructed districts' Divisions of Education and Training to develop implementation plans, guiding units and schools to develop plans and implement the task of building new-style rural areas in 2023.
As of October 2023, the province had 74 out of 129 communes meeting criterion No.5, reaching 57.3%; 212 preschools, primary schools, and secondary schools met national standards, reaching 58.5% (preschools 106/173 schools, accounting for 61.27%; primary schools 11/11 schools, reaching 100%; secondary schools 10/12 schools, reached 83.3%; elementary and secondary schools 85/166 schools, reaching 51.2%).
Dinh Thi Huong, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Education and Training, the sector has advised authorities to strengthen the leadership and direction of the Party and administrations at all levels while joining hands to implement the new-style rural development programme.
The department has also promoted the role of agencies, unions, socio-political organisations, and members of the steering committee for building a learning society and universal education at all levels.
Huong revealed that in the coming time, the education and training sector will continue to step up communications and training to improve skills for officials working in the field of education and training while raising awareness among officials, teachers, staff and parents of students about the purpose, meaning and requirements of building new-style rural areas through conferences, seminars, website of the education and training sector, and other media means.
The province will also focus resources on building schools meeting national standards, sustainably maintain and improve the quality of education standards, helping more students pursue higher education.
The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
