Spreading the lifelong learning movement.
According to the report presented at the conference, in the first six months of 2026, despite many changes in organizational models, the Associations for the Promotion of Learning at all levels in the province effectively maintained activities promoting learning and talent development and building a learning society, contributing to spreading the lifelong learning movement among all segments of the population.

The work of advising Party committees and authorities on promoting learning and talent has been implemented comprehensively. The Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning has held a review meeting on the five-year implementation of programs to build learning families, learning clans, learning communities, learning units, and learning citizen models; and continues to disseminate and implement the Party and State's policies on lifelong learning.
The movement to build learning models continues to develop extensively.

For the "Learning Citizen" model, the annual recognition rate continues to increase. Specifically, 43% of rural workers, 51% of factory workers, small-scale industrial workers, and self-employed individuals, along with 62% of officials, civil servants, and businesspeople, have been recognized with the "Learning Citizen" title.
Propaganda efforts have been intensified through press agencies, local radio systems, websites, and educational promotion newsletters. Since the beginning of the year, the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning has collaborated on dozens of news articles, reports, and documentaries promoting the movement for encouraging learning and talent development, and building a learning society.

Activities aimed at caring for and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds continue to receive attention. Through the "Tet Scholarship" movement and programs in coordination with businesses and philanthropists, the Provincial Scholarship Association has awarded scholarships and grants totaling over 1 billion VND to students, university students, and teachers in the province.
Besides the achievements, the conference also frankly pointed out some difficulties such as limited awareness of lifelong learning among some people; uneven application of information technology at the grassroots level; and limited resources for promoting education in some localities...
Mobilizing social resources to care for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
In the last six months of 2026, the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning will focus on organizing the 6th Provincial Congress of Delegates for the 2026-2031 term; promoting the "Nghe An Month for the Promotion of Learning" movement; organizing the "Learning Never Ends" program; strengthening the mobilization of resources to build the Scholarship Fund; continuing to expand effective learning models and implementing the lifelong learning movement in the community.
