Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son speaks at the ceremony to commend and award certificates of merit to 200 outstanding teachers nationwide.

Will do everything, every measure to improve the status of teachers

Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son affirmed that each teacher honored today is a typical example, selected from more than 1.6 million teachers nationwide. These are teachers in remote areas of the country, who have achieved many successes in teaching, and have creative ways of implementing policies, guidelines and decisions of the education sector in recent times. In particular, many teachers have overcome difficulties and challenges, successfully and excellently completing their assigned tasks.

Among them, many teachers have overcome difficulties, stayed with their schools and classes, volunteered to work in mountainous areas, remote areas, especially difficult areas, border areas, and islands, and devoted their youth to their beloved students.

"The education sector and the Ministry of Education and Training always respect, recognize, commend and thank teachers for what they have, are and will contribute to the cause of educational innovation in our country," Mr. Son emphasized.

The Minister of Education and Training also pointed out that the education and training sector is implementing fundamental, comprehensive and unprecedented education and training innovation for all levels from preschool to university, focusing on implementing extensive innovation for general education, specifically implementing the 2018 General Education Program. To successfully carry out this task, it is necessary to implement many different factors, in which the teaching force plays a decisive role.

"The Ministry of Education and Training identifies the development of the teaching staff as an important factor, a sustainable foundation, and a decisive factor for all successes of education and training. The leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training have been, are, and will be trying everything to improve the position and develop the teaching staff in both quantity and quality," the head of the education and training sector pledged.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son also said: "Innovation is both an opportunity and a challenge for teachers. The innovation process is an opportunity for each teacher to change themselves, innovate, equip and accumulate new and more advanced knowledge and skills, and successfully implement teaching work. In that process, the biggest challenge and opportunity is to innovate themselves and overcome the limitations of each teacher. Therefore, to the extent that teachers' innovation is achieved, the innovation of the education sector will be achieved."

Not just "overcoming hardship education"

Mr. Nguyen Kim Son also said: "In addition to recognizing the very meaningful contributions of teachers, we also have to look together in another direction, which is the story of overcoming difficulties. If we only overcome difficulties without overcoming ourselves, our education will still only stop at overcoming difficulties. The horizons of human development do not stop at overcoming difficulties. Therefore, there is still a lot of work we have to do ahead, although overcoming difficulties is extremely valuable."

Also according to the Minister of Education and Training: "The country's educational innovation begins with the Party's policies, with institutions, with policies, with directives and regulations, but theory cannot be as green as life.

Innovation is a process, from policy to practice there is always a gap. The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued policies and listened to teachers to continue to adjust so that our innovation, innovation in a theoretical and oriented way, cannot replace the change in reality of the teachers themselves. Therefore, the dissemination of advanced people, of typical people is extremely important."

Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son presented certificates of merit to outstanding teachers.

"We always keep in mind that teaching is a noble profession and always needs to maintain its dignity. But to have dignity first of all for teachers, we need to do our job well, so that we have the spirit and full awareness to preserve the dignity of the profession. This is a prerequisite for us to affirm the sustainable value of the profession, the good values ​​of the profession spreading to society," Mr. Nguyen Kim Son shared.
