Comprehensive education and training reform project

Viet Nam needs to comprehensively reform its education and training system

The project is designed to serve the national industrialization and modernization in the context of pursuing the socialist-oriented market and boosting international integration.

All comments on the draft project should be sent to the Ministry of Education and Training before August 10, 2013 for summary before reporting to the Prime Minister, and then to the Party’s Central Committee.   

During its recent regular meeting, the Cabinet also debated on the Report on composing draft laws and ordinances in the first half and tasks for the second half of 2013; report on building and issuance of documents which stipulate enforcement of laws and ordinances in the first six months of 2013.

In the first half, the Government, ministries and agencies were active in institutional building, properly conducted the law and ordinance building program, and focused on raising quality of legal documents, according to the resolution.

However, in spite of the achievements, there were some shortcomings in which many adjustments must be made to the program on law, ordinance and decree making; quality of some projects and draft projects failed to meet requirements.

The issuance of guiding documents for laws and ordinances remains slow and the number of stagnant documents were high, especially guiding documents of the Law on handling of administrative violations.      

The Government asked every ministry and agency to assign a leader to direct the program on law making, complete the contingent of public officials who are in charge of institutional making, and submit legal documents on schedule and in good quality.

The Ministry of Justice was assigned to work with the Office of Government to supervise and investigate ministries and agencies and submit quarterly reports to the Government on the building and issuance of legal documents including stagnant ones.

The Office of Government coordinates with the Ministry of Justice to monthly publicize the reality of guiding documents of ministries and ministerial-level agencies at the Viet Nam Government Portal.

During the meeting, the Cabinet members also talked on the Law on Viet Nam People’s Army Officers (amended), Law on People’s Public Security Forces (amended), Public Investment Law, and Law on Construction (amended)./.
