The NA will continue their group discussion on the draft Law on Education (amended).

During its fifth session, after discussing the draft law, the NA decided to expand the scope of amendments of the law so the name of the law “The law amending and supplementing some articles of the law on education” was changed  into “the draft law on education (amended)”, aiming to institutionalize Party views and orientations on fundamental and comprehensive reform of education and trainings to meet the requirements of industrialization and  modernization in the context of socialist-oriented market economy and international integration.

At the same time, the draft law was required to concretize  new provisions of the 2013 Constitution, which are related to education and training development; ensure consistency with other relevant legal documents to manage and improve the quality of education and training; ensure comprehensiveness, feasibility and suitability with the real situation; and create a legal foundation for renovating education and training and mobilizing domestic and foreign resources for educational development.-VNA
