During the meeting, voter Nguyen Thi Chau Loan, Principal of Mau Duc Primary School, reflected on the shortage of teachers, which forces schools to reduce the number of class hours per week. This has resulted in a failure to ensure the quality of comprehensive education for students and to meet national standards. Therefore, voters hope that the competent authorities will find solutions to allocate a sufficient number of teachers according to regulations, in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

Regarding the issue of managing protective forests, voter Lo Phi Hung (from Chom Muong village) reported that since 2016, the protective forest management and protection regime has been terminated for 18 households in the area without prior notice, causing many difficulties for the people who no longer have production forests. The voter requested that the National Assembly provide solutions and guidance to help the people develop their economy and stabilize their lives.

Speaking at the conference, voter Lo Van That, Chairman of the People's Committee of Mau Duc commune, stated that the regulation limiting the weight of vehicles crossing the Thanh Nam suspension bridge to only 10 tons has significantly hampered the movement of goods and economic development in the area. Therefore, to develop the communes on the left bank of the Lam River – Binh, Don, Mau, and Thach in general, and Mau Duc in particular, he requested that the National Assembly and the Provincial People's Committee consider a project to build a permanent bridge at Thanh Nam to connect traffic with National Highway 7A.
