Based on the findings of this research and the desire to preserve and promote Vietnamese traditional art forms, the coordinating group had included two proposals in the final report to the Ministry of Education and Training. First, they asked for regulations to implement the suggested methods in art education for secondary students at state level through curricular and extracurricular programs. Second, the coordinators required the assistance for learning equipment and teaching materials to run those programs.
