Lawmakers highlighted the significance of education in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas when the 15th legislature discussed adjustments to investment policies in the national target program for socio-economic development in these areas for the 2021 – 2030 period at its ongoing 7th session on June 17.
Deputy Nguyen Thi Lan Anh from northern mountainous Lao Cai province said that education and training for students, and laborers in the areas have always received due attention from the Party and State as many relevant policies have been promulgated and carried out.
According to the NA deputy, vocational education establishments in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas still lack facilities and training equipment, while investment sources for education and training are limited and cannot meet demand.
Therefore, she proposed including these training facilities in the list of those benefited from the national target program.
Deputy Truong Xuan Cu from Hanoi emphasized the importance of investing in education for talented ethnic minority students. He suggested using budget funds or having training "contracts" with high schools for the gifted under universities in major cities.
Lawmakers also proposed a policy to send qualified individuals and excellent ethnic minority students to study in countries that share borders with their localities to create human resources to contribute to the goal of international integration in border provinces.-(VLLF)
