On the occasion of Vietnamese Teachers’ Day (November 20) and the 80th anniversary of the education sector (1945–2025), Mr. Nguyen Tan, Director of the Department of Education and Training (DOET) of Hue City, had a conversation with Hue Today Weekly about the sector’s renewal requirements in the current period, as well as the growing role of teachers.

As Vietnamese Teachers’ Day (November 20th) approaches, many teachers in flood-stricken areas are still busy battling natural disasters. Flood after flood, they persistently cling to their schools and classrooms, visiting each disadvantaged student to offer support and encouragement. In these difficult places, their work is quiet yet unwavering – just like their love for the profession and affection for their students, which never runs dry.

During their visits to educational institutions on the morning of November 20th in celebration of Vietnamese Teachers’ Day, city leaders acknowledged the contributions of the units to the city’s education and training efforts; at the same time, hoped that schools will continue to promote their roles, innovate, improve teaching quality, and make positive contributions to Hue’s development in the new period.

On the afternoon of November 5th, a working delegation from the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), led by Standing Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, visited, encouraged, and presented support gifts to the education sector of Hue City to help overcome flood damage.
