He was asked about solutions to overcome limitations in the quality of judicial activities and measures to strengthen supervision in order to limit judicial corruption. Mr. Binh put forth ‘a solution that the Judges’ Council work overtime on Saturday to reduce the number of unsettled cases. But in the long term, we should improve the quality of judgments to minimize the number of appeals. We’ll reconsider regulations of the procedural law to propose appropriate adjustments. Another solution is to set up smaller councils of full time judges to deal with appeals. Improving the qualification of court staff needs to be a priority. Training courses will be held for managers, judges, and court secretaries.’

Chief Judge Binh promised to guide the implementation of a National Assembly resolution on judicial activities to minimize the number of cases behind the deadlines set by law.

Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan was questioned about measures to improve the quality of teaching, government support for students in mountainous areas and the planning of university and college network.

Asked about the teaching of Vietnamese for foreigners, Minister Luan said: "Vietnam's project on teaching Vietnamese for foreigners have been carried out for 5 years and expired. I propose the NA to let the project continue. Under this project, textbooks will be provided to teachers and students and there will be training programs via TV, radio and the internet. Teachers of Vietnamese from some countries will be sent to Vietnam for further training. We aim to implement this project aggressively."

Regrading education in disadvantaged areas and areas inhabited by ethnic minority groups, Luan said specific curricula have been adopted to teach local children Vietnamese language and their ethnic culture uniqueness.
