He said his agency wishes to expand cooperation with educational trade unions across the world, thus enhancing experience sharing in education and labor union activities.
The organization is working to protect the rights and interests of teachers and employees in the field, he said.
He added that the Vietnam Education Trade Union is an active member of the ASEAN Council of Teacher – a forum for sharing experience in union activities among ASEAN member countries’ education sectors, thus promoting education-training reforms in each country.
