Nearly 26 million students from kindergarten to university across the nation, along with some 1.6 million teachers, attended ceremonies on September 5 for the start of the new academic year with breakthrough policies for education and training. The Ministry of Education and Training’s back-to-school celebration from 8 am to 9:30 am at the National Convention Centre in Hanoi was broadcast live on VTV1 and connected online to some 52,000 education establishments across the country. For the first time, all education institutions nationwide simultaneously held a flag-salute ceremony and sang national anthem at the opening ceremonies. This year, the education sector has set targets of a 99.7% enrollment rate of six-year-olds in grade 1, a 99.5% primary completion rate, and improvements in teacher qualifications. VNA Photo
