Praising the achievements of the education sector, the President expressed his sympathy to many families of teachers and students, especially those in Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces, whose lives have been disturbed and who have lost their loved ones because of COVID-19. Teachers and students cannot come to class in the back-to-school season, the letter said.

As the new school year begins, the President wished the education sector will continue to create breakthroughs in fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training, develop high-quality human resources, and attract talents. The new school year plan needs to be developed and implemented flexibly to ensure the safety and health of students and teachers, and complete an educational program designed in accordance with the digital environment and adapt to disease developments, he said.
