On the afternoon of September 6, at the regular press conference of the Government in August 2025, answering reporters' questions about Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed that the whole country was delighted when the Education and Training sector was honored to be identified as a top national policy, a decisive factor in the future of the nation.

On August 22, General Secretary To Lam, on behalf of the Politburo, signed and issued Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW (Resolution 71) on breakthroughs in education and training development.

Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong explained that educational breakthroughs start from thinking, awareness, and institutions, with very clear and specific goals; high requirements and revolutionary nature, including the following stages: 2025-2030, 2030-2045, with 8 groups of actionable, breakthrough and feasible solutions.

The meaning of Resolution 71 is like a new revolution. Educational innovation is not just reform and correction but must be breakthrough.

The Deputy Minister informed that the Ministry of Education and Training is urgently consulting and coordinating with the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission to disseminate and implement Resolution 71 as soon as possible.

Within the Ministry's responsibility, the implementation of the resolution will include amending relevant laws such as the Law on Education, the Law on Higher Education, the Law on Vocational Education, etc. to be submitted to the National Assembly in October 2025. Not only the Ministry of Education and Training, but all levels and sectors have been clearly assigned in the Resolution, with clear people, clear work, and clear objects of implementation.

Sharing about the advantages of the Resolution, the Deputy Minister said that this is a highly actionable and revolutionary resolution. For the first time, the Resolution clearly states that the National Assembly Party Committee directs agencies and sectors to allocate sufficient resources for implementation from 2025.

The Government Party Committee also directed agencies, departments, branches, provinces and cities to select tasks to be completed in the 2025-2026 school year. This shows determination, direction and strength - as the Minister of Education and Training said in his speech: "Resolution 71 demonstrates the attention of the Party and State to education and training, the concerns, wishes and special feelings of General Secretary To Lam.

The Resolution is very clear in its propositions, viewpoints, solutions, and assignments, which are action-oriented and highly motivating, a revolutionary breakthrough, not a reform or revision. From there, ministries, branches from the Central to local levels must also act at a high level."

At the year-end conference of the education sector, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated: "We must innovate management thinking, the tasks are not only of the education sector but of the whole society. Only then will it be the top national policy, the decisive factor for the future of the nation, and the destiny of the nation be changed.

We have human resources, people with full qualities and abilities to enter the new era on par with the world powers as Uncle Ho wished.

With that awareness, Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed: "This resolution is enthusiastically received by the whole society, especially the education sector, clearly demonstrating the responsibility of the sector in chairing and advising to implement the resolution with clear groups of tasks and solutions."
