Besides the achieved results, through the questioning session, the Provincial People's Council realized that there are still some shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome in the State management of the cultural field.

The quality of village, hamlet, block, and cultural unit titles in some places is still not sustainable. Cultural and sports institutions in some rural and mountainous areas in localities where administrative units have been merged are still lacking in uniformity; the scale and facilities do not meet the needs of the people; in some places, the use of cultural institutions is ineffective and wasteful.

Crime, social evils, school violence, child abuse, uncivilized behavior in public places... still exist and pose serious problems. Many tangible and intangible cultural heritages have not been properly preserved and promoted; among them, some cultural identity values ​​of ethnic minorities are at risk of being lost.

Cultural industry is still facing difficulties, has not built strong brands to better exploit the potential and strengths of the locality and contribute better to socio-economic development. Cultural tourism activities still lack close connection between localities and enterprises, between enterprises and enterprises; lack of connection between destinations inside and outside the province.
