The Deputy Prime Minister also requested that departments and branches pay attention to education work.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the concept of culture in education. Education must involve the whole population and everyone must participate in education, especially education outside of school. The Deputy Prime Minister reminded the whole industry to understand: When people are still interested in education, the country will be blessed. Therefore, praise and criticism mean that people are still interested in education.

In the coming time, education also needs to move towards international integration. The State is responsible for ensuring enough schools, enough classes, and enough teachers for students. It is not because of streamlining the staff that schools lack teachers. Moving towards diversifying general education, we must implement equality in education; not have too many specialized schools and selective classes; gradually eliminate cramming, passive learning, lack of critical thinking, formality, and hassle in education...
