Villagers to learn law
Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved a project to spread knowledge of laws among rural residents and ethnic minorities during the next three years.
"Disseminating laws is not easy because the education level of many rural
residents is low. They need laws that are easy to understand, and legal
documents with pictures that illustrate situation," said Do Hoang Yen,
deputy director of the Department for Legal Dissemination and Education
under the Ministry of Justice.
"Besides, provincial authorities to do not have much experience in the
matter," she added.
The project will cost 75.3 billion VND (4.4 million USD) and will be carried
out in two phases, from 2009-10 and 2010-12.
The aim of the project is to give at least 70 percent of rural residents and
ethnic minorities a knowledge of the country's laws.
At present, only about 50 percent of them had knowledge of the country's
laws, Yen said.
The project would also set out to improve the legal knowledge of at least 95
percent of state officials and public servants working in rural and ethnic
areas.
It is expected to create awareness of the corruption fight and gender
equality and generally improve the life of ethnic people.
The project is divided into four programmes, according to Yen.
The first one aims at disseminating laws on agriculture to rural residents.
It will be implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The second programme is to help ethnic people gain knowledge of law. It will
be directed by the Government's Committee for Ethnic Minorities.
The third programme will call for farmers to participate in mobilising rural
residents. It will be implemented by the Vietnam Farmers' Association.
The Vietnam Women's Union will direct the fourth programme, which aims at
disseminating laws to ethnic women.
"Relevant ministries and associations will hold training courses for
officials in rural areas about the legal dissemination work," said Yen.
The ministries and associations would compile leaflets and translate them
into ethnic languages. Leaflets would be delivered to every village and
household in remote areas, she said.
Provincial farmers' associations, women's union and youth union chapters
would help disseminate knowledge of laws, Yen added.-Enditem
