Children - the blossom of the country

"Children are like buds on
the branches
It’s very good to know
how to eat and study”
The verse, which was
filled with love of Uncle Ho for children, has shaken every hearts of
Vietnamese people. As we all knows, whenever the international children day
(May 1st) came, Uncle Ho would visit or greet children to the Presidential
Palace and his house. Uncle’s heart for children is also the soul and feeling
of the nation for the young generations.
In the history, wars,
invasions, floods and famine have deprived our country from having enough food
for everyone, but the elders have always spent the last rice for children. In
the war time, all goods were strictly provided by bills, but the children were
among subjects that are easy to access food. In the beginning of the country’s
independence, our Party and State had decided that besides combating hunger,
backwardness, invaders, we have to build a new education system to raise young
generations to global elite levels. For 30 lingering years of war, which was
full of sacrifice and difficulties, the education system had been developing
and training many brave and patriotic people who had enough strength and
knowledge to protect and build up the country.
When the country is at
peace, the education system and a lot of policies to protect and take care of
children have been created uniformly all over the country. Various forms have
been set up to implement children educational polices likes schools, pioneers
clubs, cultural houses, funds... with the participation of the youths, women,
elders. At the time of the market economy, the children education has also been
developed quickly with a lot of entertainment, health care and education forms.
Despite lost of
improvements, the changes of social conditions and demands of children have
shown gaps and shortcomings in policy system that needs to be filled and
renovated. Especially, at the moment, places for children to study and play are
very few. Not only in cities, but also rural and remote areas are seriously
lacking of standard infrastructures and teachers. Even we haven’t balanced our
investment in education, sometimes we buy more computers but narrowed the
school yard and garden. In cities, citizens and children are getting crowded
day by day and the demands for entertainment are higher, but there are not much
places for us to build schools and parks for children.
“Children are like buds
on the branches”, this narrowly means that we have to satisfy every demands of
children, but it’s a big mistake and a lot of people are involved in this one.
There are many reasons for this, such as the pressure of earning money to
parent, social competition… and the pressure on children about results of their
study at the school. Children must have rights and conditions to play, to learn
skills and what they are interested in.
In Vietnam, the social educational
services are developing quickly with a lot of forms with high quality, which
are prior to study along with play, closeness to environment and other needed
skills. The Government is also playing an important role in implementing these
activities. Da Nang has just spent its golden
area for building school and park; Ha Noi is creating playing grounds for
children like fairs or festivals are among typical evidences of Government’s
care for children in Vietnam…
Vietnam
is doing its best to create favorable conditions for the development of
Vietnamese children./.

Life is much better for the 26 million Vietnamese children today than it was just two decades ago.
children’s basic needs are being satisfied
Viet Nam recently developed its own child-specific approach to poverty, based on basic needs like education, health, shelter, social inclusion and protection
Vietnamese children are now having good conditions to develop and study as much as foreign children.
The Government will soon introduce regulations that encourage more Vietnamese families to provide foster care for disadvantaged children
Viet Nam is in the process of completing its legal framework on childcare and protection, and plans to add regulations on provision of foster care.
Children are the future of country, they need to be taken care and taught well to be ready when they will be the owners of the country
About 22,000 children are under institutional care and 170,000 under foster care. About 6,000 Vietnamese children are adopted each year.
the country needs to develop more effective monitoring and supervising systems for alternative care delivery so as to ensure the safety and well being of the disadvantaged children.
Successfully nurturing a child into adulthood is one of the most important functions of family life and one of the foundation blocks of any good society, anywhere in the world
