To strengthen the work of caring for, educating, and protecting children in the coming time, the Politburo requests party committees, authorities, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and organizations to thoroughly understand and perform well several key tasks as follows:

Regularly inspect, supervise the compliance with laws and policies related to children and the implementation of children's rights.

6- The Vietnam Fatherland Front builds and organizes the movement "All people care, educate and protect children" linked with the campaign "All people unite to build cultural life in residential areas". The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union directs and implements youth activities. Strengthen cooperation among schools, families, and society, between departments, sectors, and organizations in child care, education, and protection activities; in which families are responsible for raising, educating, and protecting children, together with schools educating the formation of personality and equipping necessary knowledge and skills for children's comprehensive development.
