(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Learning Promotion Association recently held a conference to review the 3-year implementation of Project 281/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on promoting the lifelong learning in families, clans and communities from 2016 – 2018.
The event also reviewed results of
the programme to promote education, talents and a learning society among administration
officials in the province from 2012 – 2018 and of the local learning promotion
works this year.
Present at the conference were
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Cuu, leaders of the
Vietnam Learning Promotion Association and the Vietnam General Confederation of

Under the project, the province
has seen notable progress in the quantity and quality of its learning models.
This year, there are close to 125,000 learning families, 914 clans, over 1,200
village-based communities and 562 units across the province. These models have
helped improve people’s educational background and human resources training to
boost socio-economic development.
Over the past five years, all
administration officials at the provincial and district levels have received further
training to meet new standards; over 90 percent of workers at local industrial
parks are high school graduates or have obtained equivalent diplomas; about 40
percent of civil servants have attained Grade-2 foreign language proficiency
degrees and 20 percent have Grade-3 degrees.

Vice
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Cuu awards certificates
of merit to organisations and individuals in recognition for their outstanding
work in local learning promotion.
Regarding the education, talent
and learning society promotion in 2018, so far all the villages, hamlets and
residential zones in the province have had a promotion unit. Hoa Binh now has
over 1,500 promotion committees and over 7,270 new members this year, bringing
the rate among the local population to nearly 24.2 percent.
The province has also maintained
great focus on developing the fund for learning promotion which now totaled
25.39 billion VND.
This year, the province’s
Association has awarded scholarships totaling more than 9 billion VND to
impoverished students.
Representatives of the association,
the provincial People’s Committee and the provincial Confederation of Labour
took the occasion to present certificates of merit to organisations and
individuals in recognition for their outstanding contribution to local
education and talent promotion works. The association also honoured creative
workers in 2018./.

The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
