(Baonghean.vn) - ''The education sector needs to pay more attention to the children of the Dan Lai ethnic group."- This is a proposal from voters in Con Cuong district to their National Assembly representatives.

On behalf of the National Assembly delegation, Mr. Nguyen Huu Cau informed voters about the planned agenda for the 3rd session of the 14th National Assembly.

During the parliamentary session, scheduled from May 22nd to June 20th, the National Assembly will continue to decide on important national issues, hear the Prime Minister's supplementary report on the implementation of the 2016 state economic and budget plan and the situation regarding the implementation of the state economic and budget plan in the first months of 2017, and hear the President's ratification of the Protocol on the border and boundary markers between Vietnam and Laos.

In addition, the National Assembly will continue to draft laws (it is expected that in the 3rd session, 13 draft laws, 4 draft resolutions, and opinions on 4 draft laws will be passed).

At the conference, voters expressed strong agreement with the proposed agenda for the upcoming session of the 14th National Assembly, and also made specific suggestions on several issues of great concern in the area.

Voter La Van Linh from Co Phat village (Mon Son district), on behalf of the Dan Lai people, petitioned the National Assembly representatives: Co Phat is located in the core area of ​​Pu Mat National Park, and land reclamation and development for production are very limited. Due to the lack of arable land, the lives of the Dan Lai people here are facing many difficulties, with many families suffering from hunger. We request that relevant authorities and departments consider and resolve this issue, creating sources of income to help the people alleviate poverty.

In addition, access to the village is difficult, and there is no electricity, which significantly affects all aspects of life. "We need to bring the light of civilization to the core area of ​​Pu Mat National Park, creating conditions for the Dan Lai ethnic group to develop," Mr. La Van Linh suggested.

Regarding policies and guidelines for the Dan Lai ethnic group, voter Le Thanh An, Principal of Muong Qua High School, stated: Dan Lai children have not received enough attention, as evidenced by the admission process to schools and the quotas for university scholarships. Therefore, in the future, the State and the Education sector need to pay more attention to Dan Lai children, including the admission process and job placement after graduation.

In addition, voters also raised many issues related to mechanisms and policies such as: loans and housing for poor households, benefits for those who participated in the civilian labor force during wartime and those who contributed to the revolution; addressing shortcomings in ethnic policies and policies for boarding students; providing tools and equipment for police officers, etc.
