        For preschool education alone, many classes in preschools are overloaded with 50 children each due to the urgent need to

 mobilize children to go to schools. Therefore, special attention must be focus on mobilizing more preschool classes in the upcoming time.

In addition to that, the preschools in the province still lack material facilities due to the limited expense in localities.

Changing educational form is insufficient

The meeting view

        Most of the voters reported that cadres in provincial education sector receive low salaries especially when the cost of living is getting higher. They have to face many difficulties in the inflation situation at present.

        Chairman Vo Van Mot suggested that the education sector should focus on well conducting main tasks such as improving teaching staff, upgrading classes to reduce triple shifts, and renewing education programs and so on.
