Building a learning society is a major policy of our Party and State, especially in the period of industrialization and modernization associated with the development of a knowledge-based economy. Lifelong learning was initiated by President Ho Chi Minh since the founding of the country and set an example through his own example. In recent years, along with the whole country, Nghe An has implemented many solutions to promote and create opportunities for people to learn for life, moving towards building a learning society. Network21 continuing education centers (including 2 provincial centers and 19 district centers) and 480 community learning centers in the province have been gradually consolidated. These are educational institutions that create opportunities for people to learn throughout their lives to contribute to building a learning society. In the 2011-2012 school year alone, 1,373 people attended junior high school supplementary programs; 7,687 people attended high school supplementary programs; 11,406 people attended university and college programs; 6,625 people participated in work-study programs at continuing education centers and hundreds of thousands of people attended non-grade programs at community learning centers.
