However, due to its own characteristics, the development of education in Nghe An is uneven and still faces many difficulties; the scale of schools is still small; the quality of education still varies between regions; the facilities, area, and campus of some schools have not met the regulations; teaching equipment is not uniform, not fully meeting the requirements of educational innovation; the capacity of some educational managers is still limited; the teaching staff is still redundant, locally lacking, not balanced and uniform in structure; the capacity to innovate teaching methods is still limited.

Nghe An education still lacks a model of key general schools to act as the core for organizing innovative teaching and learning activities; some public investment policies and mechanisms are still scattered...These are also the main reasons affecting the improvement of the quality of general education in Nghe An.

Education must come first.

The 2018-2019 school year is a year of actively preparing the necessary conditions for the implementation of the new general education program. In order to orient the strategy for the development of general education in Nghe An in the coming time, at this workshop, many opinions were put forward. In particular, focusing on issues such as the education development strategy of Nghe An, on the implementation of the new education program.

Speaking at the workshop, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Huu Do acknowledged the efforts of Nghe An education sector in recent years. He said that innovation in general education is an inevitable trend today.

However, the implementation process needs to pay attention to many issues, that is, education must be considered the top national policy, must be given priority and must receive the attention of the Party and local authorities. The new education program shifts the mindset from developing scale to focusing on quality. Therefore, how to "study properly", not only study but also be active and experience.

Preparing conditions to ensure the new general education program, the Deputy Minister of Education and Training also determined that the greatest responsibility rests on the shoulders of teachers and this is the most important factor for success. In addition, it is necessary to supplement the list of minimum equipment, to have quality, there must be conditions to ensure quality.

In the coming time, education will also shift its thinking from training based on ability to training based on labor demand. To do so, it is necessary to innovate learning methods, assessment methods, and thinking. In addition, it is necessary to build local programs within the general education program and promote communication work.

In the immediate future, he requested that schools in Nghe An need to innovate the current education program and teaching methods.

Concluding the workshop, comrade Le Minh Thong also affirmed: Developing general education in Nghe An is an urgent requirement for improving the quality of education and training, contributing to the development of human resources of the province in the period of 2011 - 2020 and is a premise for implementing fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training in the current context.

The province has also proposed groups of solutions to strengthen leadership at all levels, promote professional work, educational management, team building, infrastructure construction, and key general schools to gradually achieve the set goals./.
