Accordingly, after 10 years of implementing Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW "On fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training, meeting the requirements of industrialization and modernization in the conditions of a socialist-oriented market economy and international integration", our country's education and training have achieved many important results.

The whole country has completed universal preschool education for 5-year-old children; firmly maintained and gradually improved the quality of universal primary and secondary education; general education has positively shifted from mainly equipping knowledge to comprehensively developing learners' qualities and capacities; the quality of mass and spearhead general education has increasingly improved.

Continuing education has developed in a variety of content and forms; movements to compete in learning, encourage learning, encourage talents, and build a learning society have been implemented with attention. Vocational education has developed strongly in quantity and focused on improving quality step by step to better meet the needs of the labor market.

Continuing innovation in higher education, combined with increased autonomy, has created new momentum and strong changes in quality and efficiency in human resource training and scientific research; the number of training programs accredited and published in international scientific publications has increased sharply, and a number of higher education institutions and training groups have been ranked highly in the region and the world.

Teaching and learning methods, testing, and assessment of educational quality have been innovated in a modern direction, becoming increasingly more practical and effective. The team of teachers and educational managers has been standardized, gradually ensuring quantity. Facilities and teaching equipment have been improved, initially meeting the requirements of educational and training innovation.

In addition to the achieved results, the implementation of Resolution 29-NQ/TW still has some limitations and shortcomings; the institutionalization of some contents of the Resolution into policies and laws serving the innovation of education and training, and the planning of the network of higher education institutions are slow to be promulgated; the implementation of autonomy in educational and training institutions, the implementation of new general education programs and textbooks still face many difficulties; the connection between educational levels, training levels, and the classification of students after lower secondary school are still inadequate.

Vocational education and higher education are not really linked to the labor market, not meeting the human resource requirements for new economic sectors and high technology; foreign language proficiency, including English, of trained workers is still low, not meeting the requirements of international integration. The rate of postgraduate study, especially in basic sciences, engineering and technology, is still low. The structure and quantity of teaching staff in many localities are not reasonable, and the quality is uneven.

Financial policies and mechanisms for education are still inadequate; the rate of unconsolidated classrooms is still high; facilities and teaching equipment are still lacking, especially in mountainous areas, industrial zones, and densely populated areas. Some targets set out in the Resolution have not been completed; communication work on education and training innovation, socialization of education, and the effectiveness and efficiency of state management of education and training are still limited, and many non-state resources have not been attracted to invest in education...
