Continue to implement vigorously

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy - Deputy Director of the Department of Vocational Education and Continuing Education (Ministry of Education and Training) said: The work of eliminating illiteracy has been closely directed and resolutely implemented by the Ministry of Education and Training and other units and localities. This work will continue to be promoted when implementing the 2-level local government, which is the criterion for building a learning society.

To continue and promote the strong development of the construction of a learning society in the 2021-2030 period, on July 30, 2021, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1373/QD-TTg approving the Project "Building a learning society in the 2021-2030 period" with four goals; in which, the first goal is to eliminate illiteracy and universalize education.

The Ministry of Education and Training has issued circulars on the literacy program, evaluated students studying the literacy program; coordinated with units and organizations to sign action programs to promote literacy work; organized training on teaching the literacy program for school teachers and officers and soldiers of border posts...

The work of eliminating illiteracy has achieved many positive results, but the implementation process has also encountered many difficulties due to the limited awareness of the people, who have not clearly seen the meaning, role and benefits of literacy for the life of each individual and the general development of the community. The coordination between agencies, organizations and unions in the work of eliminating illiteracy in some localities is not really close, regular and effective.

The school system and facilities for teaching and learning in some mountainous and highland communes are still facing many difficulties and shortages, failing to meet the needs of learning and improving quality. Classes are mainly held at primary schools; cultural houses in villages and hamlets... Investment from the state budget is still low, and policies for teachers and those participating in the work of eliminating illiteracy still have many shortcomings.

The Prime Minister has issued a Plan to implement Directive No. 29-CT/TW of the Politburo on universal education, compulsory education, adult literacy and promoting student streaming in general education by 2030. One of the goals of the plan is to complete basic literacy and move towards functional literacy for adults, especially ethnic minorities, women and workers in disadvantaged areas.
