The club was established to help reporters meet, exchange experiences, support each other in professional work, and at the same time carry out information and propaganda work on issues related to the field of education. Through this, the club will create a reliable bridge between authorities, schools and parents in informing about issues related to education and training.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tan Phong, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Journalists Association, education is a very important field of Ho Chi Minh City, so education reporters are required to be sensitive and have depth. Many hot issues have been reported by the team of reporters in recent times. The Education Reporters Club aims to gather and connect specialized reporters to better perform the propaganda task. Currently, the Journalists Association has 7 affiliated reporter clubs and this is one of the special activities of the Ho Chi Minh City Journalists Association that is highly appreciated by the Vietnam Journalists Association.
