Earlier on September 4, Party General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong extended his sentiments and best wishes to teachers, educational managers and employees who are working in the educational sector, along with all students and parents nationwide in a letter sent to all in the educational sectors.

In the letter, he wrote that in the 2019-2020 academic year, although the Covid-19 epidemic has directly and seriously affected the activities of the education sector, with the spirit of "Pause going to school but do not stop studying", the education sector has actively and successfully implemented epidemic prevention and control as well as ensuring the completion of the school year plan.

In the new school year 2020-2021, as the Covid-19 epidemic may still witness new developments, the education sector should continue to thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the Party and State's undertakings and policies on education and training; overcome all difficulties to implement both epidemic prevention and control as well as organizing learning for students as best as possible, he suggested.

Meanwhile, the education sector also should focus on improving the quality of education and training, especially the training of high-quality human resources, to meet the demands of the cause of national industrialization and modernization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Nhan Dan online reported.
