Within SDMD 2045 Forum, regular live dialogues will be held every quarter, specifically in March, June, September, and December each year with various topics. In the first quarter of 2023, the regular dialogue on “Improving the quality of education for integration and sustainable development of the Mekong Delta” is aimed at sharing information and experiences, and discussing in-depth solutions for improving the quality of education, contributing to the integration and sustainable development of the Mekong Delta.
It is worth concluding, in the dialogue, that “Human resources are placed first” and “Education is an important factor”. Mechanisms and policies are the core issues, and international cooperation plays an important role in improving education and training quality. Therefore, it is necessary to call for the participation and contribution of international organizations to the development of education and the sustainable development of the Mekong Delta.
