Firstly, in addition to compiling a relatively complete and scientifically valuable theoretical framework, the dissertation utilizes needs theory, systems theory, top-down policy implementation models, and the agency theory approach in social policy science. These theories are presented in detail, have high applicability in research, and are integrated to explain related issues.
Secondly, this is a large-scale, practical study conducted within the specific socio-economic conditions of a particularly disadvantaged economic region like Lai Chau province. Therefore, the thesis describes the demographic characteristics of high school students from ethnic minority groups in Lai Chau province. It also identifies the characteristics of local educational support policies, and the research results contribute to the development of social work, focusing on social policies and social security for ethnic minority children.
Thirdly, the thesis also identifies factors affecting the enrollment of high school students from ethnic minority areas in Lai Chau province. It emphasizes external barriers and internal factors within the policy system that reduce the effectiveness of educational support for high school students from ethnic minority areas in Lai Chau province, such as: unfavorable natural conditions, socio-economic factors, the educational level and awareness of ethnic minorities, culture, customs and traditions, and internal policy elements.
12. Practical applicability: The top-down policy implementation model, emphasizing the factors influencing the implementation of policies supporting high school students in ethnic minority areas as discussed in Chapter 4, can be applied.
13. Future research directions: Enhancing the role of stakeholders in implementing educational support policies for ethnic minority students.
