Human rights to be brought into national education

 

The event was held in both virtual and in-person formats under the chair of Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (HCMA), and Chairman of the Central Theory Council.

 

Addressing the event, Thang stressed the importance of the implementation of the decree after the Party Central Committee’s sixth session approved a resolution on continuing to build and perfect a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam, in which the principle of respecting, ensuring and protecting human rights has been highlighted as a key aspect.

 

In addition, Vietnam was honored and proud to be elected to the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2023-25 tenure, he noted.

 

Emphasizing that under the project, 100 percent of institutions in the national education system are expected to teach human rights by the end of 2025, so the official said there is not much time left and the workload remains large.

 

He urged agencies, localities, educational associations, sectors and the political system to make concerted efforts to implement the decree and build programs and plans to fulfill their tasks.
