In recent years, Nghe An has had many solutions to promote teaching and learning.Englishin school. However, compared to other subjects, the quality of English is still limited and there is a large gap between regions.

Meanwhile, English teaching conditions are not guaranteed, lacking, and inconsistent, with more than 100 schools not having foreign language classrooms. Many classrooms equipped before 2020 are not suitable for the new program.

In addition, there are also shortcomings in the curriculum, learning materials and teaching methods. Testing and assessment do not accurately reflect capacity, are too theoretical, and do not comprehensively assess the four skills.
