Ensuring quality
At a recent meeting on the province’s market price stabilization program for textbooks, notebooks and learning tools, Ho Van Binh, Deputy Director of provincial Department of Industry and Trade said that the province will further realize this program in 2017. Relevant sectors will create the best conditions for enterprises to sort out schools in the province for implementation.
This year’s mechanism to realize the province’s price stabilization programs is not different from that of 2016.
