Vietnam supportive of UNESCO’s role in education promotion
VOV.VN - As a member of the UNESCO Executive Council, the nation always supports the organisation’s role in promoting education globally, Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Vietnam's permanent representative to the UN, said at an ambassador-level session of the Group of Friends for Education and Lifelong Learning held on May 15 in New York.
The Vietnamese diplomat also hailed the group’s efforts in pushing ahead with contents and commitments relating to education.
He suggested launching activities between the group and UN member countries as part of efforts to step up dialogues and share information, initiatives, and experience in education.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J.Mohammad underlined the need to focus on ensuring finance for education and rights for teachers, whilst also working to optimise digital transformation in this field.
Launched on January 24, 2019, the group champions advocacy and outreach relating to global commitments on education, including through concrete contribution to intergovernmental processes, as well as the organisation of high-level and expert-level meetings.
