Viet Nam National Education for All 2015 Review

In accordance with commitments made to the international community at the International Forum on Education for All held in Dakar, Senegal, in April 2000, Viet Nam established the National Action Plan for Education for All (2003-2015) and the Prime Minister approved this plan on 2 July 2003. The plan focuses on three priority targets, namely: Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE); basic education (primary and lower-secondary education); non-formal education (continuing education) for the following strategic purposes: changing from quantity to quality education; universal completion of primary and lower-secondary education; providing opportunities for life-long learning; mobilizing the full participation of the community (all for education); and ensuring effective management and better use of resources than ever before. The plan also sets out specific targets regarding access, quality, relevance and effective and efficient management of Education for All (EFA). This National EFA Report 2015 was written in preparation for the international conference to review the achievements in terms of the EFA goals, scheduled for 2015. The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) assumed the prime responsibility in preparing this report and coordinated with the concerned ministries and with authorities at the local level.
