Although facing many difficulties, the education and training sector has made a great contribution to fostering personality and morality of the young generation, raising people's intellectual standards, and training human resources, contributing to national socio-economic development, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. 

“I call on all levels, branches, people, families, and parents to join hands with the education and training sector and with teachers for the cause of human growth. The education of people is not the sole job of the education and training sector or of teachers. Each of us should always be a student to learn continuously and also always be a teacher to enthusiastically participate in this noble and glorious work.”

Prime Minister Chinh extent his best wishes to teachers and educational administrators across the country and foreign teachers who are teaching in Vietnam "For the sake of 10 years of planting trees - For the benefit of a hundred years of cultivating people," as taught by President Ho Chi Minh.
