Speaking at a working session with communal authorities,
Nguyen Van Quang, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman
of the provincial People’s Committee, said the province always pays attention
to investing in building infrastructure, promoting socio-economic development,
and improving living standards for people in mountainous communes. In the field
of education and training, the province prioritises investment in reinforcing
and building schools and providing teaching and learning equipment for disadvantaged
and remote areas, as well as creating the most favourable conditions for these
areas to develop education comprehensively.
He praised efforts made by Bac Son’s
authorities, people, officials, teachers and students in raising the quality of
teaching and learning. He reminded the commune to focus on improving the
capacity of the managerial and teaching staff in the coming time. The staff
should raise responsibility and actively improve knowledge and professional
capability to develop education in the mountainous areas. He also suggested
enhancing communication campaigns and encouraging the private sector to involve
in educational development. He also directed the provincial Department of
Education and Training and the People’s Committee of Tan Lac district to study
the school infrastructure building proposal of Bac Son commune and realise it
in 2018.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
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.
