BinhPhuoc (VNA) – The southern province of Binh Phuoc has met nationalstandards for universal preschool education for five-year-old children in 2011-2016, according to the Ministry ofEducation and Training.

Statistics showed that 98.38 percent of preschoolers attendedschool inthe period, 3.38 percent higher than the requiredstandard. Meanwhile, 99 percent of five-year-olds completed preschool education, 14 percent above requirements.

All communes and wards across 11 districts and towns of Binh Phuoc, which previouslylacked schools and teachers, now have educational institutions and pre-schools.

Representatives from the ministry suggested local authorities improve thequality of the work and invest in building infrastructure facilities for pre-schooleducation, encourage private involvement and revamp management in the field.

In recent years, the provincial Steering Committee for illiteracy eliminationand education universalisation has focused on children at the age of five, especiallythose from low-income households, disadvantaged, remote and border areas andthose from ethnic minorities.

However, ViceChairman of the peovincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tien Dung pointed outdifficulties facing the locality in generalising education for five-year-olds including overloading at preschools and inencouraging children to attend school.

Hesaid relevant sectors, especially the education and training sector, need to raisepublic awareness of the scheme, make it easy for enterprises to invest in privatepreschool development and improve the quality of teachers.

The project on universalising pre-school educationfor five-year-old children was approved in 2010. 

The project set the goal of having the majority of five-year-oldchildren throughout the country attend two classes a day for a full school-yearin order to be fully prepared for the first grade.-VNA
