Thang, who is also Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, addressed a national conference in Hanoi on Wednesday on implementing the Prime Minister's Directive to include human rights into the national education system.
He emphasized the need to promote the roles and responsibilities not only of the ministries or sectors participating in the Project Executive Board, but also of the People's Committees of provinces and cities and the whole political system in order to create profound changes in the awareness and actions to meet the needs and expectations of human rights education in Vietnam.
