This is also a step from the preparation process to the implementation phase of major decisions that have been issued. 2025: Creating a foundation for a new journey After summarizing Resolution 29-NQ/TW and issuing Conclusion 91-KL/TW, the Politburo issued Resolution 71-NQ/TW on breakthrough development of education and training. The resolution redefines the position and role of education in the new context, emphasizing education as a factor determining the nations future, and at the same time posing a requirement to innovate thinking about the role of the State in the direction of playing a leading and leading role, in parallel with mobilizing social resources and strengthening international cooperation. From that orientation, the most outstanding mark of the last year of the term is the completion of the institutional system for education and training. In 2025, based on the Partys orientation, especially Resolution 71, the National Assembly simultaneously passed four laws and four resolutions directly related to the field of education. The four laws include the Law on Teachers; Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Education Law; Law on Higher Education (amended); Law on Vocational Education (amended).

According to Minister Nguyen Kim Son, the biggest challenge of this period does not lie in promulgating policies, but in the ability to implement them synchronously and effectively in practice. 2026 is also the first year of implementing the new 5-year plan, associated with the term of the 14th Party Congress. The Education Sector must simultaneously perfect the system of by-law documents; Organize guidance and training to ensure consistency throughout the industry; Rearrange educational institutions according to the two-level local government model; and implement major investment programs approved by the National Assembly. According to the Minister, this is a period that requires initiative and determination, but also requires caution, avoiding the application of machinery, especially in arranging the school network and organizational structure. Education faces new opportunities and great challenges Looking at the strategic level, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that education is facing a new opportunity, with favorable conditions that are basic and long-term. The role of education is more clearly defined; responsibility and mission are placed at a higher level; Along with that is the increasingly clear attention of the Party, State, National Assembly, Government and the entire society. These are important premises for implementing major innovations in the coming period. However, according to the Minister, the period ahead also sets very high development requirements, with big goals and fast speed, while the inertia of old thinking, old habits, and old ways of doing things still exists. Implementing Resolution 71 therefore requires strongly innovating thinking and methods of action, while proactively identifying and overcoming obstacles in the implementation process. In addition, education also faces intertwined challenges from disparities in socio-economic conditions between regions and population groups; international integration requirements; digital transformation process; and the rapid development of the internet and artificial intelligence. While urban areas and key economic regions are under increasing pressure in terms of scale and quality, many remote areas still have difficulty ensuring learning conditions. According to the Minister, improving consistent quality and ensuring equity in education is a long-term problem, requiring sustainable investment.persistence and appropriate approaches. Along with the impact of technology, the mobilization of social resources for education also increases the influence of market factors. The challenge is to maintain a healthy and pure educational environment, not letting market factors commercialize the teacher-student relationship or negatively impact school culture.
