In addition, the work of universalizing education has also achieved many outstanding results.

Up to now, 95.2% of communes, wards and towns have been recognized as meeting the standards of universal education for 5-year-old children; 100% of communes, wards and towns have achieved universal primary education and 99.8% of communes, wards and towns have achieved universal lower secondary education.

Comrade Tran Quoc Khanh, Deputy Head of the Provincial Propaganda Department, gave comments on the contents related to the draft.

At the meeting, delegates gave many comments on the draft report and pointed out the limitations that need to be overcome so that the Department of Education and Training can complete the report before reviewing the 3-year implementation. Comrade Dinh Thi Le Thanh requested that in the coming time, the Provincial Steering Committee for Illiteracy Prevention - Universal Education and Building a Learning Society should clarify the roles of units in performing the tasks, in conjunction with the responsibilities of each sector and each locality.

Strengthening inspection, supervision and implementation of projects, it is necessary to pay attention to preventing re-illiteracy and universalizing preschool education for 5-year-olds. It is necessary to focus on building a learning society, paying attention to vocational training and skills for people to "anticipate" the integration trend.
