Dam made the comment at a conference held by the Ministry of Education and Training in Hanoi on August 12 to review outcomes of the past academic year and deploy tasks for the coming one.
The official requested that the sector continue with comprehensive reforms to enhance the quality of teaching and learning activities.
He noted there is a need to review and proactively propose a mechanism on tuition fees, ensure an adequate number of teachers and school facilities, and promote digital learning materials and the online learning method.
The spending on education must increase to ensure the quality of education, but the contribution of students' families should not increase, the Deputy PM said.
