"This is a major policy of the Party, so it must be implemented seriously, urgently, and resolutely. This arrangement affects many people's minds, so it must be implemented carefully, but also scientifically, methodically, and resolutely," said the Deputy Minister of Education and Training.

According to him, the Ministry is fully aware of its responsibility in this important matter, but it cannot do it alone. It must have the cooperation and consensus of central ministries, branches and localities, especially universities and vocational training institutions.

Deputy Minister Dung said that the Ministry of Education and Training, as assigned, will develop a project to rearrange and reorganize educational and vocational training facilities; the second project is to transfer a number of educational and vocational training facilities to localities.

"We will soon submit it to the Prime Minister for decision and will implement it in 2026," said Mr. Dung.
