On this solemn and sacred anniversary, we express our most sincere feelings and deepest gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, National Hero, World Cultural Celebrity, Great Teacher who devoted his life to the Fatherland, to the people, including the Education and Training sector.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, with all my deep affection and gratitude, I would like to send my respectful greetings, warm regards and best wishes to generations of teachers and educational administrators across the country.

Dear teachers!

Tradition of loving learning, respecting teachers, and valuing talentare profound human values ​​of our nation; are an important factor in creating Vietnamese intelligence, Vietnamese morality, Vietnamese culture and people. Each of us remembers the folk songs and proverbs about respect and gratitude to teachers: "My child, remember this sentence - Don't forget your father's grace, mother's kindness, and teacher's work."; "A treasure trove of gold is not worth a bag of letters".

President Ho Chi Minh - "The great educator" who gave birth to and laid the foundation for the new Vietnamese education system always paid attention to building and developing the country's education system. He pointed out that ignorance is one of the three enemies.,and affirmed: "An ignorant nation is a weak nation.".

During the fierce and arduous war years, but with the spirit of "Where there are people, there are classes.", "Where there is liberation, education develops there."Revolutionary teachers with passion and responsibility have overcome many hardships and dangers to build schools, open classes, and care for the cause of educating people. In the process of innovation, determining education and training as the top national policy, our Party and State have always paid special attention, issued and implemented many policies and laws and have achieved important results in thinking, awareness, approach and implementation; in mechanisms and policies for training human resources, contributing to building and protecting the Fatherland.

The quality of general education in our country in recent years has been recognized and highly appreciated internationally. Vietnamese students have won many high prizes at international Olympic competitions. University management and administration have been innovated, university autonomy has been promoted, a number of Vietnamese schools are ranked in the top 500 best universities in Asia and the top 1,000 best universities in the world. Vocational education has been increasingly developed in terms of scale, quantity and quality, for many consecutive years Vietnam has been in the TOP 3 countries with the highest achievements in the ASEAN Vocational Skills Competition.

Over the past two years, despite being heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, many flexible and creative teaching models and methods, especially online teaching, have been implemented in the spirit of "stop going to school, not stop learning"; successfully organized high school graduation exams, university and college admissions, recognized by the people and highly appreciated by society.

The 40th anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers' Day is an opportunity for us to express our gratitude to more than 1.6 million teachers nationwide and to countless generations of teachers who have silently and persistently devoted themselves to the cause of educating future generations. Many teachers have overcome difficulties and become shining examples of morality, dedication, sacrifice, and passion for their profession; some have devoted their youth, becoming second fathers and mothers to their students.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders and with my personal feelings, I would like to once again express my respect and deep gratitude to generations of teachers across the country, those who have shouldered the noble and glorious cause of educating people.

Dear comrades and teachers!

We are living in the era of globalization, deep international integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution with many opportunities and opportunities, but also posing many new difficulties and challenges. Our education and training career has achieved many important achievements but there are still many shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome soon.

The 13th National Party Congress determined: "Create breakthroughs in fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training, develop high-quality human resources, attract and utilize talents..."; "Continue to synchronously innovate goals, contents, programs, methods, and approaches to education and training in the direction of modernity and international integration..."; "Combining knowledge, ethics, aesthetics, and life skills education with physical education to improve the stature of Vietnamese people.".

To achieve these goals, it is necessary to clearly define that education and training is the cause of the Party, the State and the entire people. Developing education and training is to improve people's knowledge, train human resources and nurture talents. Education and training must be linked to the needs of socio-economic development and national defense; with scientific and technological progress; in accordance with objective laws. I would like to share and note the following contents:

For the teaching staff

- Besides, teachers must be like second fathers and mothers, constantly caring about the psychology, physiology, and legitimate aspirations of the children; inspiring, nurturing, molding, and transmitting to the young generation ideals, ethics, values ​​of truth - goodness - beauty, the quintessence of national and human culture, contributing to the formation of good qualities of Vietnamese people, creative capacity of students suitable for the development of the country and social progress in new conditions.

From ancient times, our ancestors have a saying: "If you want to cross, you must build a bridge - If you want your children to be good at reading, you must love their teachers."to remind us to always respect, care, share, and accompany teachers; at the same time, closely coordinate with the school to teach children to become good children, good students, and good citizens of society. For students, I hope that they understand the feelings, sacrifices, hardships, and dedication of teachers to try harder in studying, cultivating virtue, practicing talent, and improving knowledge to bring joy, pride, and happiness to teachers.
