The development of human resources in ethnic minority and mountainous areas is one of the important tasks for hunger eradication and poverty reduction sustainably and effectively, promoting quickly socio-economic development of the areas. Being aware of the great role and significance of the human resources, the Government of Vietnam has issued and implemented many direct and indirect policies related to training and improvement of human resources in the ethnic minority and mountainous areas and have initially achieved certain results such as: Strengthening learning opportunities for ethnic minority and mountainous students through a system of boarding and semi-boarding ethnic minority schools and school points; Improving the quality of ethnic minority human resources through vocational training; Enhancing the quality of education for ethnic minority students through nomination or priority policies for points by areas when taking entrance exams to colleges, universities, etc. However, besides the achieved results, there are still limitations and shortcomings in training and improving the quality of human resources in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in Vietnam. Therefore, it is necessary to synchronously implement solutions on training and improving the quality of human resources in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development of the population, ethnic groups and mountainous areas in particular and Vietnam in general in the new period
