PM calls for an open education
Vietnam should renew its attitude towards education and education management to train teachers with intellectual skills and creativity, says Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
This is necessary to develop the nation’s potential to the utmost so that the best people could actively contribute to the country’s development, he said at a ceremony in Hanoi on October 2 to honour 57 excellent students.
Among the honoured were medallists at international and regional Olympiads, the International Science and Engineering Fair, and those receiving top scores at university entrance examinations this year.

Dung urged for the building of an open education, which has good teaching and learning methods, alongside the growth of a learning society, to ensure the necessary conditions for a better education system.
He asked for more attention and stronger investment in this important sector.
He conferred the Labour Order, third class, on Ngo Phi Long, a student from the northern province of Son La, who had received gold medals at regional and international physics Olympiads for two consecutive years.
He also awarded the Prime Minister’s merits to other Olympiad medallists.
All 36 Vietnamese students attending the Olympiads this year brought home medals. Of the students receiving merits on October 2, 17 topped the entrance exams of the most prestigious universities in Vietnam.
