The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just decided to approve the city's education development strategy from now to 2030, with a vision for 2045. As per the city's education development strategy, the city aims to develop each student’s potential and creativity and improve the quality of education and training which means to raise the quality of its human resources.
The education sector strives to train a young generation with the ideals of national independence and socialism. Moreover, young people must have ethics and a strong will to build and protect the Fatherland and they have a healthy lifestyle, a sense of social responsibility, creative thinking, and practical skills for the city’s growth in the future.
Along with that, the southern metropolis will innovate state management of education and training in a streamlined and effective direction by perfecting the organizational structure, functions and tasks of education management agencies at all levels. Educational management between quality of its human resources educational institutions will be connected.
In particular, Ho Chi Minh City will build specific mechanisms and policies in the education sector to attract high-quality human resources. School leaders will have autonomy but they will be held accountable to society, learners, and management agencies about the training quality.
To achieve those goals, from now until 2025, the city will reduce an average of at least 10 percent of public schools and 10 percent of teachers on public schools’ payrolls who receive salaries from the state budget compared to 2021.
Furthermore, labor contracts of employees working in public schools that do not comply with regulations will be terminated but their peers in self-financing schools can continue working depending on schools' demand. Additionally, the city will continue to reduce on average 10 percent of direct spending from the state budget in public schools compared to the period 2016-2020.
