Total funds used: 4,461 billion VND, equal to 17.2% of the total funds to implement this Project in the period 2010-2020.

At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan commented that many localities have shown signs of negligence in directing vocational training for rural workers, lacking due attention and preparing reports that are not close to reality.

The Deputy Prime Minister requested localities across the country to complete the report on the implementation of the Project (2010-2012 period) with the most urgent and serious spirit, to complete it before the deadline of May 15 to announce at the conference to review 3 years of implementing the Project "Vocational training for rural workers until 2020". The Ministry of Information and Communications will develop and publish a handbook of questions and answers on the Project as well as introduce some good models of the Project across the country. The Deputy Prime Minister gave instructions on adjusting policies for farmers registering for vocational training, vocational training facilities and policies for vocational teachers; and clearly pointed out the responsibilities of localities in inspecting and evaluating vocational training for rural workers.
