Dong Nai People's Council’s 18th Congress – issues relating to social security are debated

Delegate groups are holding discussions

    Delegates’ great concerns are that environmental issues have not been satisfactorily settled and that serious environmental violations have continued to occur. Besides, illegal mining operations have still existed, which is difficult to control and causes natural resource losses and revenue losses from mining. Many delegates claimed that people have not been satisfied with complaint and denunciation settlement in terms of law enforcement. Delegates added that more “Meet the People” programs should be organized and those who meet the people should be qualified staffs. They expressed concern over an increase in the number of retrials and suggested that an improvement be made. Culturally, delegates said that there have had a lot of weaknesses in the conservation and restoration of monuments and that the education of historical monuments for the young generation has not been paid attention to. Thus, they continued that workable solutions had to be put forward in the forthcoming time in order that historic monuments would not be forgotten. Educationally, delegates claimed that premium high schools needed establishing for an educational quality improvement because the rates of high school graduation have been lower the past years than those set in the resolution. They added that the Education sector had to produce practical solutions to raise the quality of teaching and learning, that the slow progress towards implementing the second phase of “Build Concrete Schools” program has affected the education quality and that the progress was required to be speeded up. In terms of vocational training, delegates said that parents’ wanting their children to enter universities today is something easy to understand due to recruiters’ qualification preference. In addition, connected training programs between vocational schools are lacking consistencies and have failed to attract students’ enrollment. They suggested that schools’ syllabuses and lesson plans be taken into consideration and checked so that solutions could be found. In terms of basic construction, delegates said that what central sources of financing are must be defined, that civil projects should be regarded as priority constructions and that resettlement projects should be paid more attention to...
