Strange coincidence of the thought of Ho President and Mr. Ly Quang Dieu

'If winning in the education race, will win in economic development'. That was Mr. Ly Quang Dieu's sentence when he visited Vietnam in 2007.

A great saying of a great thought and can be completely understood, even more broadly : 'Failure in education is a failure not only of economy but of total failure'.

Mr. Lee Kuan Yew said the above sentence by his own practical experience. From the early days of his independence, as Prime Minister, he has set up a series of policies to respect talents, English and educational development perspective.

In terms of utilizing and attracting talents, Mr. Ly has had drastic and specific instructions so it is effective in both aspects, training and fostering domestic talents and turning Singapore into a "lowland". ', converging talents of many countries around the world.

Even a very small country, but Singapore still allows and invites large scientists and technicians to immigrate, accepting residents in the area, especially those from India.

He established two committees in which a committee was tasked with helping qualified people do the right job and a committee combined them into a miniature society.

'If we don't fill the gap with foreign talents, we can't make the country top. They are additional megabytes for the Singapore computer. ' Mr. Lee Kuan Yew expressed frankly.

One of the decisions that are "critical " for Singapore to embrace the development of the world is to choose English as one of the four official languages ​​used in Lion Island.

With the motto 'Mastering English, it is the key to gaining knowledge and high technology of the West', so all English schools in Singapore use the required language. This is in stark contrast to Malaysia using indigenous language and its consequences as everyone knows.

Also during his visit to Vietnam in 2007, Mr. Ly Quang Dieu shared very enthusiastic: 'If all Vietnamese students in the future cannot hear and speak English fluently, only reading can be lag'.

The strange thing is that despite the age difference of 33 years, the things Mr. Ly Quang Dieu (1923) said almost coincided with the thought of President Ho Chi Minh (1890) .

In terms of education, right from the early days of independence, President Ho Chi Minh signed Decree No. 01 of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on 'Killing hunger, killing ignorance and killing foreign invaders'.

This can be understood as the priority to kill hungry enemies is number one, number two is illiterate and third is foreign invaders.

On the merit of talent, President Ho Chi Minh not only sent many students abroad to study but also attracted many talented people to contribute to the country such as Professors Tran Dai Nghia and Luong Dinh Cua .

For education, President Ho Chi Minh had very specific instructions and until today it has not been old, even full of news when overload is becoming 'dangerous':' Children Like a bud on a branch - Knowing how to eat, sleep, and learn is good '.

In terms of talent training, President Ho Chi Minh once said: 'Because of the ten-year career of growing trees, because of the hundred years of growing people'.

Throughout his life and until he left his life, President Ho Chi Minh had only one big wish: 'I have only one desire, the ultimate desire, to make our country completely. independent, our people are completely free, everyone has rice to eat clothes, everyone can study '.
