Vietnam prioritises education to reduce social inequalityAmbassador Pham Thi Kim Anh, deputy permanent representative of the Vietnam mission to the United Nations (UN), highlighted the role played by education in reducing social inequality while speaking at the 72nd session of the UN Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee in New York on October 3. Kim Anh said social inequality is developing between countries and within each country, in terms of income, gender, employment and access to education, health care and fresh water. Therefore, tackling social inequality has become an urgent task for all regions, countries and the entire international community, she said. Given this, he suggested prioritising disadvantaged groups, increasing social sponsorship and heeding statistics to tackle inequality. They also shared experience in reducing poverty and easing difficulties for disadvantaged groups.
