Although the Ministry of Education and Training’s (MOET) new regulation on tightening extra teaching and learning has only come into effect since February 14, many schools in Hanoi have strictly complied. However, stopping extra teaching and learning in schools risks causing inconvenience to many parties: schools, parents, students, especially senior students.
Ms. Hoang Thu Hien, a parent in Phuc Tho district, said that starting from the second semester, families with children in middle and high school have received notices from homeroom teachers about stopping all extra classes organized by the school in accordance with Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training.
Mr. Hoang Chi Sy - Principal of Luu Hoang High School (Ung Hoa District) said that extra-curricular activities at the school have stopped since after Tet holiday, which is the end of semester I and the beginning of semester II. Similarly, the Board of Directors of Hai Boi Secondary School (Dong Anh - Hanoi) and Van Quan Secondary School (Ha Dong) have also announced the suspension of extra-curricular activities. According to Ms. Tran Thi Yen - Principal of Van Quan Secondary School, the school has informed parents about the suspension of extra-curricular activities at the parent meeting at the end of semester I. All new documents and new regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and other management agencies are publicly announced by the school to parents and students and strictly implemented.
On parent forums in Hanoi, many parents shared that homeroom teachers have announced that the school has officially stopped extra tutoring and boarding activities from February 15.
It is noted that schools in some neighboring localities such as Hung Yen, Bac Ninh, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh... have also announced to stop extra teaching.
In fact, when receiving the notice that the school would not organize extra classes from the second semester, many parents were concerned and expressed their wishes that teachers continue to support students' review at school or outside. Ms. Thu Huong, whose child studies at Nguyen Phong Sac Secondary School (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) shared that since the beginning of the second semester, the school has not organized extra classes, so the children have to study at home in the form of family self-management. This is a big challenge for families without adults at home with their children. Moreover, not all students are self-aware, and the time for self-study without supervision is also the time when children use smart phones to create groups to play games, chat, etc., making adults very worried.
According to teachers and schools, at present they have to comply with the regulations in the new circular so they cannot meet this request from parents. In fact, there are some teachers who can teach "underground" but this is a very small number and this is too risky because if they are unfortunately discovered, they will be disciplined and suspended from work. According to teacher Hong Phuong - May Academy High School (Hoang Mai District, Hanoi), for a long time, if only teaching according to the main curriculum, the time is often not enough to thoroughly explain the theory and help students apply it to do exercises and improve their knowledge. Now that the supplementary classes are no longer available, it will more or less affect the teaching and learning of teachers and students. In addition, for students about to take the high school graduation exam and university entrance exam, the need to review for exams is even higher, many students want to participate in competency assessment or thinking assessment exams and want to be helped to review more, but teachers are also in a difficult position.
Faced with the concerns of parents, students and teachers, schools in Hanoi hope that the Department of Education and Training will soon advise the City People's Committee to issue detailed instructions on extra teaching and learning to ensure compliance with regulations, suit the local situation and bring benefits to students.
Regarding this issue, the leader of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that he has received many opinions from individuals and units and will synthesize, report, and advise the City People's Committee to soon issue a guiding document for unified implementation in the area, in order to facilitate the teaching and learning process.
