After the article "Ha Tinh rectifies extra teaching and learning" was published, Ha Tinh Newspaper received many comments expressing agreement from readers.

The article "Ha Tinh rectifies the situation of extra teaching and learning" published in Ha Tinh Newspaper on April 11, 2023 informed that the Departments of Education and Training in the area implemented the instructions of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh on implementing a number of professional contents at the end of the 2022-2023 school year, including organizing teaching, reviewing, and tutoring for students.

Information on rectifying extra teaching and learning received thousands of responses and interactions from readers on the Fanpage of Ha Tinh Electronic Newspaper.

According to the document, for primary school students, revision and tutoring will be conducted in the classroom, and homework will not be given to students who have studied 2 sessions per day. Absolutely no extra teaching will be organized for primary school students in any form, except for the following cases: training in arts, physical education and life skills.

Notably, after being posted on the Fanpage of Ha Tinh Electronic Newspaper, by 2:30 p.m. on April 12, this content had received more than 3,100 interactions and nearly 800 comments from readers. In addition to expressing agreement with the ban on extra tutoring, some readers also informed about the current situation of their children and proposed solutions to gradually handle this situation.

According to many readers, the situation of extra classes and tutoring is widespread and has become a “trend”. Reader Huong Nguyen informed: “Children nowadays study too much. Even in first grade, the homework does not leave time for them to rest”.

Acknowledging this situation, reader Ly Thang Hai Dang left a comment: “I always thought that if I didn’t study, I would be behind my friends, and there were too many competitions. I was only in 4th or 5th grade but I saw my child studying on Saturdays and Sundays. How pitiful!”

Also “crying out” because of her child’s busy extra-curricular schedule, reader Le Hien reported: “Studying day and night; going to school 2 shifts a day, coming home for extra classes at night; on Saturdays and Sundays when they should have a day off, some children “work” 3 shifts. Oh, the childhood and physical development of the children!”

“Studying from morning till dusk, going to extra classes and then sleeping on the back of a motorbike. Studying extra to cope with the exam…”- reader Tran Phuong left a comment.

Regarding the direction to rectify this situation; especially the ban on organizing extra teaching and learning for primary school students by the managing sector has received the agreement and support of many readers of Ha Tinh Newspaper.

Reader Bich Ngoc said: “This solution is very good. Many parents see their children’s friends taking extra classes and also send their children to extra classes, causing pressure on the children and leaving them no time for fun and entertainment.”

Sharing the same opinion, reader Chi Bui left a comment: "Parents strongly agree with this approach of the Department of Education and Training. Teachers should not teach extra classes at home because parents are competing to let their children study as much as possible. We parents must immediately stop letting our children study extra classes..."

As for Quynh Nhu Nguyen: “This should have been done a long time ago. Extra teaching and learning is rampant. Children just entering first grade have to struggle with extra learning…”

Besides expressing support for the ban on extra teaching and learning for primary school students, many readers have also proposed solutions to make this directive of the relevant authorities "go deeper, go closer" and implement it into practice.

Reader Mai Phuong Tran suggested: “It is necessary to improve the quality of formal teaching at school. The rectification and banning of extra teaching and learning must be drastic and strict!”

Proposing a solution on a larger scale, reader Minh Nguyen said: “The curriculum is heavy and if children don’t take extra classes, it will be difficult for them to keep up. If we want to stop taking extra classes and reduce the pressure on children, we need to adjust the curriculum at all levels.”

Frankly proposing solutions to the relevant authorities, readers Huong Nguyen, Khanh Ngo, Thanh Nguyen said: "The Department of Education and Training should be strict"; "It is necessary to strengthen inspection, examination, and handling of cases of intentional violations"; "The relevant authorities need to take measures to rectify and have sanctions, not to let extra teaching spread"...

From another perspective, a few parents, although not completely agreeing with extra teaching and learning, have left quite reasonable opinions. Reader Duong Thuy expressed: “It is necessary to limit extra teaching and learning, because too much of it affects the health, playtime and self-study time of children, but it is difficult to completely ban it because that is the need of parents and students. In my opinion, teaching should be organized at school under the management of the school. If teaching at home, it is necessary to register and have regulations on the number of students, the amount of money/session…”
