In the field of education, Resolution 29/NQ-TW of the Central Committee sets out the requirement to build a learning society, however, the process of approving the school network planning is focusing too much on the public school system and not on the non-public school system. This is going against the spirit of Resolution 29 and the province's policy. Therefore, the Committee will also conduct a survey on the school network planning and the activities of non-public schools.
