Son said that over the past years, the Government has worked out various policies for the benefit of preschool teachers. However, he acknowledgedthat their wage remains low compared to the general income and theefforts they make.

The official expressed his hope that small as it is, the increase can serve as anencouragement for the teachers.

The education sector has a very large number of salaried civilservants and public employees, accounting for more than 70% of the country’stotal number, he said. Therefore, each adjustment policy, no matter how small it is, needs tocalculate resources and conditions, the adjustment must be made stepby step and reasonably.

Although there is little publicly available documentation confirming exactly when Place Ho Chi Minh was established, French urban historians suggest that most streets and public spaces named after the Vietnamese leader in France emerged between the 1960s and 1980s, during the height of anti-war movements and solidarity campaigns supporting Vietnam across working-class towns and left-leaning suburbs around Paris.
