Understanding the perspective of educational innovation
At the Conference to disseminate and implement Conclusion No. 91 and Resolution No. 57 of the Politburo organized by the Ministry of Education and Training on the afternoon of February 6, Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized the implementation of the Circular regulating extra teaching and learning (Circular No. 29) recently issued by the Ministry to replace Circular 17 (issued in 2012).

Mr. Thuong suggested that the Departments of Education and Training must thoroughly understand the viewpoint of educational innovation, focusing on teachers and students. Circular 29 thoroughly grasps 5 contents: consistent with the provisions of the 2019 Education Law and the 2018 education program; forming the ability to self-study, building a lifelong learning society; extra learning does not affect the study of the main general education program in schools such as no cutting or duplication; suitable for the interests of students, not forcing students to take extra learning in any form; gradually forming self-study methods and self-study habits of students.
"The regulation on extra classes in the circular also aims to preserve the image and ensure the dignity of teachers and the education sector. Dedicated, honest, and competent teachers will never force students to take extra classes. Therefore, transparent regulations are to protect the dignity of the sector and teachers," said Mr. Thuong.

Only prohibit illegal tutoring activities.
Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong stated that for a long time, teachers have been busy with extra teaching and learning, which must comply with the law on conditional business investment. However, in fact, extra teaching is an educational activity related to the profession of teachers and students, so the Ministry of Education and Training is responsible for issuing regulations to manage this activity according to specialized laws, in accordance with other regulations.
Mr. Thuong emphasized that the Ministry of Education and Training does not prohibit teachers from teaching extra classes, but only prohibits extra teaching activities that are not in accordance with regulations.
"The Ministry's viewpoint is that in public schools, teachers do not teach extra classes to collect money from parents and students. In public schools, there are 3 groups of people who receive additional knowledge (not extra classes): tutoring for students who have not met the standards, tutoring for excellent students, and tutoring for students taking final exams," Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed.
Therefore, he said that the Ministry encourages the Department of Education and Training to advise the province to support funding for teachers to participate in supplementary teaching for 3 groups of students in public schools.
The Ministry of Education and Training has consulted with the Prime Minister's Office to send a telegram to the provinces to implement this issue, including the content that the People's Committees of provinces/cities arrange funds to improve training quality.
"It is the responsibility of teachers and schools to develop students' qualities and abilities, meet knowledge standards, and achieve output standards. The weight of the program is only a personal opinion. This year, the Ministry of Education and Training will summarize and comprehensively evaluate the 2018 general education program. The Ministry has worked with the editors-in-chief of textbooks. The Ministry's viewpoint from now on is only to make small adjustments, not to adjust or change textbooks or education programs," Mr. Thuong affirmed.
He commented that in the past, there was a phenomenon of good teachers with great passion being criticized and hurt. The newly issued circular has caused some places to loosen up. According to him, the responsibility of the Department of Education and Training and schools is to ensure that all students taking the transfer exam and high school graduation exam meet the knowledge standards. Students who have not met the standards must be supplemented to meet them.
Regarding the story of extra learning and teaching, Mr. Thuong said that there should be synchronous solutions such as: innovating assessment and evaluation, ending the situation of asking tricky questions and giving tricky answers; arranging the quality of teachers equally among schools, not concentrating good teachers in key schools (which will end the situation of taking extra classes to take exams to enter key schools); ensuring enough places for students; inspection and testing solutions.
