Giving opinions on the draft Resolution, delegates affirmed that the issuance of the Resolution is necessary and urgent. Delegates suggested that the drafting agency should review the subjects of support to ensure that they are correct, sufficient, and close to the subjects; at the same time, the implementation process should be assigned to the Provincial People's Committee to implement closely and consistently, avoiding the situation of taking advantage of the policy for personal gain.

Concluding this content, the Head of the Culture - Social Affairs Committee, Provincial People's Council, stated that this is an urgent and necessary issue. Currently, the province is lacking about 5,000 preschool teachers. To solve this situation, many localities have applied and integrated forms to sign contracts with teachers.

The Head of the Culture - Social Committee requested the Department of Education and Training to absorb the opinions of delegates who discussed the technical documents to supplement and complete the content of the Resolution for submission to the Provincial People's Council for consideration.
