According to Mr. Huong, to achieve the goal of improving the quality of literacy for the people, the District Department of Education and Training proactively advised the District People's Committee to develop a plan to open literacy classes in the early stages. 2022-2025. Every year, the Department closely coordinates with the People's Committees of communes and towns to develop and implement plans to open classes. To date, the total number of classes opened is 41 classes with 746 students, of which: phase 1 illiteracy eradication classes are 10 classes, with 176 students; Phase 2 illiteracy eradication classes have 31 classes with 570 students.

Currently, the district maintains and improves universal preschool education for 5-year-old children, universal primary education level 3, universal secondary education level 2, of which 01 commune has achieved universal lower secondary education. level 3, level 1 illiteracy eradication (including 4/11 communes achieving level 2 illiteracy eradication).

“In the process of implementing illiteracy eradication work, Nam Nhun district encountered certain difficulties such as: The district area is large, some localities are not concentrated, and they are of working age so they often go to work. work away from home. Therefore, the investigation and review to develop plans to open classes and maintain the number of students in literacy classes faces many difficulties. Besides, there is a shortage of teachers who also carry out the task of eradicating illiteracy, so it also puts great pressure on teachers and schools,” Mr. Huong stated.

Discussing this issue, Mr. Doan Van Dat – Head of the Department of Education and Training of Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province, said that literacy work has long been one of the important goals in the education sector. , especially in remote areas, where people's educational level is still limited. Locally, although this work has achieved remarkable results, there are still many challenges that require the efforts and consensus of all levels of departments and learners.

Mr. Dat said that according to statistics, the local illiteracy rate has decreased significantly in recent years, currently only about 9% of the population from 15 to 60 years old. This is thanks to the drastic direction of the local government and the close coordination between the People's Committee of Than Uyen district, the Department of Education and Training of Than Uyen district and social organizations. Every year, a specific literacy plan is developed, coupled with the opening of classes for people, especially the elderly, who did not have the opportunity to study before.

However, besides the positive results, the work of eliminating illiteracy in the locality still has many difficulties. One of the biggest problems is that a part of the people's awareness of the importance of literacy is not high. Many people, especially the elderly, still believe that literacy is no longer necessary after school age, or that productive labor is more important than studying. This leads to many classes not reaching the expected number of students, wasting resources.

In addition, physical facilities at some study sites are limited. Many classrooms are temporary, lacking tables, chairs, lighting, and even insufficient teaching materials. The teaching staff also faces many difficulties when they have to work at the main school while also participating in teaching literacy. Difficult travel between schools, especially in harsh weather conditions, is also a significant barrier.

Sharing the same opinion as above, Mr. Cu Hai Hung, professional officer of the Department of Education and Training of Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province, in charge of managing illiteracy eradication classes in the district, informed that in 2024, the local has implemented 29 classes, attracting 516 students. These classes are held flexibly in time, usually in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. or on weekends, to meet the needs of students. Because they are mainly people of working age, they have to spend their days making a living and making ends meet. The team of teachers participating in teaching are all dedicated teachers, many of whom are not afraid of difficulties, traveling between remote villages to bring literacy to people.

According to Mr. Hung, in the coming time, in order for local literacy work to be truly effective and sustainable, it is necessary to promote propaganda work to raise people's awareness of the importance of literacy. Forms of propaganda can include radio, television, organizing seminars in villages, or combining with faith organizations and unions to mobilize people to participate in learning.

In addition, local authorities should call for support from businesses and social organizations to improve learning conditions for literacy classes. At the same time, there should be policies to support teachers financially and mentally to encourage them to participate in teaching for a long time.

“Eliminating illiteracy is not only the task of the education sector but also the common responsibility of the entire society. Literacy not only helps people improve their quality of life but also makes an important contribution to local socio-economic development. With synchronized efforts from the government, teachers and the community, we believe that the local illiteracy rate will continue to decrease sharply in the coming years, moving towards the goal of completely eliminating illiteracy,” said Mr. Hung expressed.

Strive to achieve the goal of completely eliminating illiteracy so that everyone can write and read

To contribute to completely eliminating illiteracy, especially in remote areas and among ethnic minorities, the Head of the Department of Education and Training of Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province proposed 4 specific solutions.

Second, there needs to be a financial support policy to help students feel secure in going to class without worrying about study costs. At the same time, the government needs to have programs to encourage teachers to participate in teaching such as increasing allowances, improving working conditions or organizing training courses to improve pedagogical skills for teachers.

Third, it is necessary to build and maintain cooperation programs with non-governmental organizations, businesses, or philanthropists to mobilize resources to support literacy work. These resources can be used to improve facilities, provide learning materials or organize extracurricular activities to encourage people to participate in learning. In addition, it is necessary to focus on applying information technology in teaching such as using software or electronic devices to create excitement for students.

Fourth, evaluating the effectiveness of implemented classes is very important. Every year, it is necessary to organize tests and surveys to measure students' progress, thereby adjusting teaching methods and program content more appropriately. In addition, local authorities should connect with teachers in charge of classes to understand the specific difficulties they are facing, thereby providing timely support solutions.

“In the future, local literacy work will not only stop at helping people read and write, but also aim to build a learning society where everyone has opportunities. Access knowledge and improve quality of life. This requires long-term commitment from all levels of government, the consensus of the community and the tireless efforts of teachers. We believe that, with the coordination and determination of the entire society, the goal of completely eliminating illiteracy in the locality will increasingly achieve greater achievements, contributing to the sustainable development of the locality. locality in particular and the country in general,” Mr. Dat expressed.

“In addition, the Department of Education and Training of Nam Nhun district has directed schools to consult with the Steering Committee for Literacy Universalization of communes and towns to organize investigations and reviews of people's learning needs; Communes and towns establish groups to mobilize students to go to class and monitor the teaching of literacy classes.

In addition, we have done a good job of digitizing the investigation process to ensure the right people and subjects; Direct schools to develop teaching programs suitable to the subjects and knowledge students need to achieve; Regularly inspect and advise to promptly resolve difficulties and problems during implementation; Monitor the learning process and update student information after completing the class program on the annual education popularization software,” said Head of the Department of Education and Training of Nam Nhun district.
