TO COMBINE NATIONAL DEFENSE AND SECURITY EDUCATION IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
On June 19, 2013, the National Assembly issues the Law No. 30/2013/QH13 on National Defense and Security Education.
In particular, beside that national defense and security education is a curricular subject in upper secondary schools, professional secondary schools and intermediate vocational schools, the National Assembly also emphasizes on that national defense and security education in primary and lower secondary schools is incorporated into other subjects in the curricula in combination with extra-curriculum activities suitable to the age of pupils.
Also in accordance with this Law, managers of non-state enterprises which include enterprises of medium or larger size; enterprises serving national defense and security; enterprises operating in deep-lying, remote, border and island areas shall attend national defense and security knowledge training. Managers of non-public non-business units shall attend national defense and security knowledge training. And when attending national defense and security knowledge training, they are entitled to receive their full salaries and allowances, travel support or one-off payment of return tickets and meal support provided by non-state enterprises or non-public non-business units. The state budget will cover expenses for national defense and security knowledge training and accommodation for those living far from training establishments.
This Law takes effect on January 01, 2014.
