UN Summit: Vietnam highlights need to ensure fairness in quality education access
Vietnamese Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son has highlighted a need to ensure fairness in access to quality education, integration and equality at all school levels in the next period.
Addressing the Transformation Education Summit in New York on September 19, the first day of the High-Level Week of the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Son said following two years of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, the education sector needs to equip today and future generations with knowledge and skills to overcome challenges facing the world, thus contributing to fulfilling all UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Teaching methods and curricula may change, but the key is to help students with personal orientations, thus building a solid foundation with fundamental values throughout their lives, he said.
At the event, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres stressed the need to protect the right to quality education for everyone, especially girls, everywhere; and to give a new focus on teachers’ roles and skillsets. Schools must become safe, healthy spaces, with no place for violence, stigma or intimidation.
The digital revolution must benefit all learners, he said, adding that none of the above will be possible without a surge in education financing and global solidarity.
He said development partners should reverse cuts and dedicate at least 15% of official development assistance to education. International financial institutions should make resources and fiscal space available for developing countries to invest, he said.
Guterres urged international financial institutions to draw on the newly-launched International Finance Facility for Education, a new tool that aims to mobilise 10 billion USD to help 700 million children in lower-middle-income countries to access quality education.
According to the UN data, some 70% of 10-year-olds in poor countries are unable to read a basic text. Either they are out of school, or in school but barely learning.
The summit was chaired by the UN Secretary General on September 16, 17 and 19./.

Education always is the highest concern of young people, teachers, parents and all countries
Without education, where would I be? Where would any of us be?
education transforms lives, economies and societies
education is in a deep crisis and we must join hands to transform education
Instead of being the great enabler, education is fast becoming a great divider. Some 70 percent of 10-year-olds in poor countries are unable to read a basic text.
Even in developed countries, education systems often entrench rather than reduce inequality, reproducing it across generation
The rich have access to the best resources, schools and universities, leading to the best jobs, while the poor – especially girls – face huge obstacles to getting the qualifications that could change their lives.
Displaced people and students with disabilities face the highest obstacles of all.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on learning worldwide, and dealt a hammer blow to progress on SDG4.
Now is the time to transform education systems.
we need a big change in education system
the world’s young people and future generations are calling on you to act with vision and purpose.
quality education must support the development of the individual learner throughout his or her life.
Education must help people learn how to learn, with a focus on problem-solving and collaboration.
Education also must provide the foundations for learning, from reading, writing and mathematics to scientific, digital, social and emotional skills.
In Vietnam, Education and training have the missions of raising people’s intellectual level, developing human resources and fostering talents, making important contributions to building the country and developing its culture and people
Vietnam has set the orientation: “Development and quality improvement of human resources, especially high-quality ones, are a strategic breakthrough.”
Vietnamese education scale and network of educational institutions developed and better met people’s learning needs.
The country achieved the targets of eradicating illiteracy and universalizing primary and lower secondary education
Comprehensive education to develop Vietnamese people in “morals, knowledge, good health, aesthetic sense” has always been the throughout thought of Vietnam Party and State.
