Concretize the ethnic policies of the Party and State

The 2019 Education Law identifies cultural knowledge training in vocationally oriented subjects as an important part of the education system of specialized schools, aiming to develop the qualities and capacities of ethnic minority students in a number of subjects on the basis of ensuring comprehensive education, creating a training source for admission to universities to meet the development requirements of the locality and the country.

However, there is currently no separate legal document specifically regulating the content of the cultural knowledge training program for ethnic minority students at vocational schools, ensuring consistency in teaching organization among vocational schools.

The country is promoting innovation, digital transformation and deep international integration, the development of high-quality human resources, especially human resources for ethnic minority and mountainous students, is becoming increasingly urgent. DBĐH is a source, a place to train ethnic minority students who are capable of studying at universities nationwide in many different majors.

Therefore, the amendment and supplementation of Circular 44/2021/TT-BGDDT together with the DBĐH knowledge training program is the foundation to ensure quality, consistency and long-term strategic orientation for education in DBĐH schools.

The issuance of the Circular amending and supplementing Circular 44/2021/TT-BGDDT together with the DBĐH knowledge training program aims to concretize the ethnic policies of the Party and State for children of ethnic minorities.
