In particular, the conclusion underscores the necessity to review, amend, and perfect relevant mechanisms, policies, and laws, including the expedient building of a law on teachers, a law on lifelong learning, an education development strategy, and regulations on education management and school governance reform.
Investment in education, described as "the top national policy," will be put at the top in socio-economic development plans. The focus will be on enhancing comprehensive education quality at all levels, modernising vocational and higher education, and boosting scientific research capacity within educational institutions. Emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, and semiconductors will be key areas of focus, serving the knowledge-based, digital, green, and circular economy.
To achieve these goals, the state budget allocated for education-training should account for at least 20% of the total state budget expenditure, as stipulated in Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW. Ethnic minority, mountainous, border, and island areas will also be given priority./.
