• President meets with voters in HCM City

During his meeting with voters in the central province of Ha Tinh on May 2-3 to hear their opinions on tertiary education and vocational training, the top legislator stressed that in the new stage of development, Vietnam has a huge demand for human resources.

However, in recent years vocational training work failed to meet the requirements of national modernisation, construction and development, he said.

He said the NA will consider and thoroughly assess these issues and gradually provide measures to solve them.

The NA leader asked the province to expand training models, diversify teaching methods and renovate curricula in order to improve the quality of training.

Voters contributed many ideas on solving shortcomings in the educational sector of the country and the locality in particular.

They proposed giving allowances to people who do not directly deliver lectures, providing a preferential treatment for non-State educational establishments and improving the quality of teacher training.

They also suggested the State encourage businesses to invest in vocational training and ensure sufficient material conditions for vocational training facilities.
