VTV.vn - The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) held a conference on June 18 to review the implementation of its learning society programme during the 2012-2020 period.

According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Huu Do, after 8 years, the network of educational facilities, with the core being those for continuing education, has been developed and expanded.

Vietnam currently has over 17,000 continuing education facilities, including 71 province-level centres, 619 district-level centres, over 10,000 community learning centres, 5,642 foreign language and computer literacy centres and 658 life skill education centres.

The number of private centres has been growing rapidly, helping enhance foreign language and computer skills for students, teachers, civil servants and all citizens.

In its report, the MOET stated the learning society programme has made an important contribution to universal education and illiteracy eradication results.

Specifically, all 63 provinces and cities have achieved universal nursery education, universal level-two primary education and universal level-one secondary education.

Literacy courses have also been held across the country to help over 300,000 people aged between 15-60 learn to read and write.

Over the next ten years, the learning society programme will focus on enhancing public awareness of the benefits of life-long education, stepping up the use of information technology in education.

The programme will also forge a closer link between formal and continuing education, and between education in both the family and society.

On the occasion, the Minister of Education and Training awarded certificates of merit to 71 collectives and 92 individuals for their excellent performances in implementing the programme to build a learning society during the 2012-2020 period.
