The week, which will run through October 8, delivers the message: “Lifelong learning – key to every success”.
Addressing the launch ceremony, Vice State President Nguyen Thi Doan emphasized that Vietnamese people always attach importance to learning and consider learning a foundation for every victory. That valuable tradition has developed throughout the country’s history, she said.
She affirmed that the Vietnamese Party has regarded education-training and science-technology as a top national policy, creating a broad learning environment and pouring large amount of investments into education.
The State leader asked authorities at all levels and people to build a learning society, in which all citizens have equal opportunities in study and education.
UNESCO Chief Representative in Vietnam, Katherine Muller Marin, praised Vietnam’s efforts in building a learning society. UN organisations are ready to help Vietnam realise the commitment to popularise the spirit of lifelong learning to every citizen, she added.
