The request was made in a recent directive, which was part of the Politburo's conclusion regarding the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s Resolution 29 from 2013.
This resolution focuses on comprehensive and fundamental reforms in education and training, to meet the demands of industrialization and modernization in a market-oriented socialist economy, and international integration.
The conclusion highlights that, after ten years of implementing the resolution, significant progress has been made in education and training.
To build on these achievements and address existing shortcomings, the Politburo has asked relevant parties to promote international integration in education and training, to meet the needs of developing a high-quality workforce for the country's new development phase.
It noted that, efforts should be concentrated on enhancing students' foreign language proficiency, gradually making English the second language in schools.
The Politburo has also suggested creating breakthrough mechanisms and policies, to attract foreign experts and scientists, as well as overseas Vietnamese, to teach, conduct research and work at educational institutions in Vietnam./.
