To implement the agreement between VietNam Government and Unicef organization on protecting and taking care of children, in recent years, the Ministry of Education and Training has promulgated many social policies in order to socialize education, and ensure children in ages of 6 to 10 going to school.
- The state has many concrete solutions such as: building solid schools, supporting textbook and not getting school’s fee for the children who are living in remote areas …. As a result, the rate of children going to school has increased in recent years.
- However, the rate of children’s school quitting in large cities like Ho Chi Minh city is increasing. In order to understand this problem clearly, local authority carried out the social investigation in suburban area such as Củ Chi, Cần Giờ districts.
- The results of the investigation indicate that almost children left school are living in poor families at the moment. Their parents have not enough money to support children’s learning. In some special cases, the children have to work in order to earn money for their families. The concrete jobs of children are to sell lottery tickets, to clean bowls in restaurants, or to clean cars …
- On the other hand, there are a lot of poor families immigrating to large cities to look for jobs. The parents haven’t got stable jobs and often change accommodation. This reason badly influences to their children’s learning.
- In general, there are many objectives or subjective causes to lead to children’s school quitting. Nowadays local authority has made more effort to build night affection classes, to find out stable jobs for parents, to encourage children to go to school ….
- Besides, city’s leaders are listening to and receiving your recommendations in order to solve completely the matters which are mentioned above./.
