Circular 29 regulating extra teaching and learning of the Ministry of Education and Training is still attracting public attention. Regarding this issue, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed that the viewpoint of the Ministry of Education and Training is to aim for schools that do not have extra teaching and learning. Instead, after school hours of subjects according to the program, students have time and space to participate in recreational activities, sports, fine arts, music, etc. Students do not have to take too many extra classes, causing unnecessary pressure and fatigue, so that every day at school is a happy day.

Before the circular takes effect, there are still conflicting opinions among parents. Some parents are relieved that their children are less pressured in studying. However, many people are also concerned about how to manage their children if they have to spend an extra day at home instead of a full day at school like before. In addition, when registering their children for extra classes at the center, they will have to spend a lot more money than if they had to study at school.
