Mr. Vo Cao Long, Head of the Department of Education and Training of District 1, said that one of the key tasks of the 2024-2025 school year is to continue to effectively implement the Project to popularize and improve English proficiency for students, the teaching and learning program of math, science and English integrating the British and Vietnamese programs, and continue to expand the teaching of other foreign languages such as Chinese and Japanese.

Mr. Duong Anh Duc, Secretary of District 1 Party Committee, spoke at the conference.

Acknowledging and appreciating the efforts of the Education and Training Department of District 1 in the past year, Mr. Duong Anh Duc, Secretary of the District 1 Party Committee, acknowledged that the district has an advantageous central geographical location and always receives attention from leaders at all levels as well as the people of the city.

However, according to Mr. Duc, the favorable geographical location also comes with higher pressure from public opinion, demands and needs of parents. In recent years, the locality has not only provided educational services for children in the area but also for neighboring areas.

"I hope that the Department of Education and Training in particular and educational institutions in general in the area will regularly raise their sense of responsibility, ensuring that the achievements have real meaning and not just slogans," said Mr. Duong Anh Duc.

In addition to implementing the national education program, the entire sector needs to focus on improving the quality of foreign language teaching, specifically English and information technology skills for learners, striving to achieve the goal of being one of the leading localities in the quality of teaching and learning foreign languages and information technology.

The Secretary of District 1 Party Committee added that to achieve that goal, educational institutions create maximum conditions for joint investment units and diversify teaching methods on the basis of ensuring fairness and responsibility to students.
