Resolution No. 14/NQ-LT On coordinating the guidance of children's house systems

RESOLUTION

Regarding the coordination and guidance of the children's house system

Educating teenagers and children to become new socialist individuals with comprehensive development is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people, among which the Education sector, Culture, Sports, and Youth Union of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth have direct responsibilities and play important roles.

Along with the educational process within schools is the out-of-school education through collective activities led by the Ho Chi Minh Pioneer Team, in which children's houses are suitable means.

In recent years, children's houses have developed into a system of nearly one hundred youth palaces, provincial, city, district, and county-level children's houses, and thousands of children's clubs at grassroots levels such as wards, communes, factories, farms, forest areas, residential complexes...

The activities of children's houses in recent times have made certain progress, initially meeting some of the needs and demands of children, contributing to creating good results in the work of educating teenagers and children.

However, the number of children's houses is still limited, those provinces that have youth palaces and children's houses have not attracted a large number of teenagers and children, the content and form of activities are still poor, there is a lack of material infrastructure, funding for activities is very limited, organizational and management work is still awkward, and the guidance from various levels of the Youth Union has not been strict enough.

Coordination and guidance work between ministries, sectors, and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Central Committee has not yet been established as a regular and comprehensive plan.

To create new changes in implementing the Party's resolution on educational reform, especially in the field of out-of-school education for children, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, the General Department of Sports, and the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth will unify their cooperation and strengthen their guidance so that provincial, municipal, district, and county-level children's houses continue to develop, creating conditions to promote the activities of grassroots children's clubs with the following contents:
