At the meeting, the voters raised various opinions. They suggested that at the 10th Session of the 15th NA, the NA Delegation of Dong Nai province should raise many concerns, including textbook compilation, misconduct in the education and training sector, investment in teaching equipment for the new general education curriculum, and overtime pay for teachers conducting two sessions per day. Many voters also expressed interest in student rewards and discipline under Circular No. 19/2025/TT-BGDĐT, issued September 15, 2025, by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Regarding the administrative restructuring and the implementation of the two-tier local government model, the voters have expressed that this policy is appropriate. Following the dissolution of district level and the merger of communes, the areas of the communes and wards have expanded, significantly increasing the workload of officials and civil servants compared to before. As a result, many voters have proposed introducing additional allowances and benefits for officials and civil servants to ensure they can carry out their duties with confidence.

In addition, some have proposed increasing allowances for the pool of neighborhood heads to motivate and encourage their dedication. Other issues raised by voters included traffic, the issuance of land-use rights certificates, the transfer of Party membership records, counterfeit goods, environmental pollution, administrative reform, and the promotion of ethnic cultural identity.

Based on the voters’ feedback, NA deputies and representatives of relevant provincial departments, together with local authorities, gave direct responses and clarifications.
