According to the report, in the 2024-2025 school year, the Education sector will complete an important legal corridor by consulting the National Assembly to pass the Law on Teachers and two Resolutions related to universalizing preschool education and exempting and supporting tuition fees for children and high school students.

The 2024-2025 school year also marks an important step forward in implementing the 2018 General Education Program, with the full implementation of subjects and educational activities from grades 1 to 12. The model of "one program, many textbooks" is effectively applied, contributing to innovation in teaching methods towards developing students' qualities and abilities.

Also according to the Ministry of Education and Training , by the end of the 2024-2025 school year, the whole sector will have nearly 1.28 million teachers (public and non-public), an increase of 21,978 people compared to the previous year. The Ministry of Education and Training, in coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs, has proposed adding 10,304 more teachers to overcome the shortage of teachers, especially in difficult areas, while gradually ensuring a reasonable subject structure.

The Ministry of Education and Training focuses on training teachers; the Law on Teachers passed by the National Assembly has created an important legal basis for policy care for teachers. At the same time, the school and class system continues to be invested in and upgraded. Localities proactively review and rearrange school locations, consolidating small-scale schools to concentrate resources. The number of solid classrooms increases, while temporary and borrowed classrooms decrease.
