Hanoi (VNA) - The Ministry of Education and Training held a press conference on August 4 to launch the ninth National Press Awards for the Cause of Vietnamese Education.
The awards are jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and Training, the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Vietnam Journalists Association, with the Education and Times newspaper serving as the standing agency.
Nguyen Duc Loi, Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association and Deputy Head of the organising committee, said the awards not only honour outstanding journalism on education but also recognise journalists’ commitment and dedication to the sector.
The organisers hope the awards will promote the sector’s achievements, honour outstanding collectives and individuals, and highlight inspiring stories, innovative initiatives and people dedicated to students and the country’s development.
“Diverse perspectives and well-founded recommendations from the press not only help build social consensus but also provide valuable practical input for management agencies to improve mechanisms and policies, thereby enhancing the quality and effectiveness of education and training,” Loi said.
