Nghe An's 2018 National High School Exam results are lower than previous years.

In order to continue to preserve and develop sustainably, improve the material and spiritual life of the Dan Lai people, on December 16, 2006, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 280/2006/QD - TTg approving the Project on conservation and sustainable development of the Dan Lai ethnic minority in the core zone of Pu Mat National Park (referred to as Project 280).

After more than 10 years of implementation, the results are still quite modest when by the end of 2017, only 42/146 households (23.9%) were relocated and resettled. Although infrastructure and facilities have been invested, the efficiency is not high. In fact, Project 280 was approved by the Government for implementation in 3 years 2007 - 2009, but after 10 years of implementation (2007 - 2017) it has not been completed.

Due to the above shortcomings, at the meeting, all opinions agreed to request the Government to continue to implement the project in the next phase. Based on the opinions of the committee members, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested the Ethnic Committee to complete the summary report, clearly stating the results achieved and the difficulties and shortcomings.

In addition, comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong said that it is also necessary to filter and propose specific problems that are stuck, in order to complete unfinished projects and have specific projects to propose to the Government for support, paying special attention to the issue of building resettlement areas, unfinished construction items, supporting socio-economic development, converting forest land...

On the same afternoon, the meeting listened to the Department of Education and Training report on the assessment of the results of the 2017-2018 school year, the direction of tasks for the 2018-2019 school year; the report on the 5-year review of the implementation of Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW dated November 4, 2013 of the 11th Party Central Committee, and Action Program 33-Ctr/TW dated October 27, 2014 of the Provincial Party Committee on the implementation of Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW.

At the end of the 2017-2018 school year, Nghe An is still one of the localities highly appreciated in teaching and learning with many outstanding achievements. However, besides that, there are still some problems such as excess teachers, arbitrary teacher recruitment, revenue and expenditure issues, the issue of building innovative models, the issue of building national standard schools... These are also the issues that the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested delegates to analyze and request the Department of Education and Training to respond in order to have a solution in the coming time.

Concluding these contents, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that in the coming time, the education sector needs to continue to implement innovation throughout the sector.

To do so, the Department needs to absorb the opinions of committee members and complete two reports before submitting them to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee for comments; advise the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to issue directives before the new school year in order to promptly direct urgent contents and deploy tasks for the new school year earlier and more systematically.

For existing problems, the education sector must have solutions to end them, state the determination to implement them and clearly state each content that needs to be implemented in the 2018-2019 school year. The Provincial Party Standing Committee will be responsible for accompanying the education sector to enter a new phase in the spirit of comprehensive innovation in education and training.

At the meeting, Director of the Department of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Kim Chi also gave a preliminary report on the results of the National High School Exam at the 28th examination cluster of Nghe An. Currently, the Department is continuing to implement Official Dispatch No. 3060 of the Ministry of Education and Training on reviewing the exam. It is expected that by July 28, the Department will have an official report.

The leader of the Department of Education and Training also said: According to the results of the National High School Exam, this year Nghe An ranked 42nd out of 63 provinces and cities and in general the results were lower than previous years.

Through the synthesis of candidates with high scores, the number of candidates from district schools accounts for the majority and are all capable students with difficult economic conditions. Up to now, on the part of the Examination Steering Committee, in examination cluster 28, there has been no sign of interference in the exam. After reviewing, if any violations are detected, we will coordinate with the relevant authorities to handle them seriously in accordance with regulations.
