Quang Tri (VNA) – Nearly 100 children
representing more than 100,000 children in the central province of Quang Tri attended
a forum with National Assembly deputies in the locality on December 13.
The forum aimed to enhance the quality of activities to care
for, protect and educate children, and the exercise of children’s fundamental
rights in accordance with the Children Law.
At the event, the children raised questions related to their
rights and obligations as well as measures to protect them from sexual abuse
and school violence.
They also suggested the adjustments of curriculum and
teaching methods to reduce schooling pressure on children, as well as support
in building pools and swimming teaching to reduce drowning among children,
along with the control of the publications harming children on the Internet. It
is necessary to set up venues for children from ethnic minority groups to learn
special subjects, they said.
Representatives from the provincial NA deputy delegation and
People’s Council as well as leaders of departments and agencies answered
questions of the children, highlighting the principle that the rights of
children must be respected and observed. Children should receive due protection
and care to ensure their comprehensive development as stated in the Children
Law, they said.
Head of the province’s NA deputy delegation of Quang Tri
Hoang Duc Thang pledged that in the time to come, NA deputies, the People’s
Council and administrations at all levels will give greater attention to the
protection, care and education of children, while maintaining and expanding the
forum to listen to children’s voice and aspirations.
They will also work harder in dealing with requests of
agencies and organisations related to children, he said.
On the occasion, the organisation board presented 20
bicycles to poor students with outstanding academic performance./.
