'I'm interested in teaching but too many people are trying to stop me. Is this a dangerous profession that they're trying to stop me? Lately, they've banned extra classes, have I lost my livelihood? I'm also hesitant...'
The question related to the "hot" issue of extra teaching and learning was raised by students of a high school in Binh Duong to teachers in the 2025 Exam Season Consulting program that took place this morning, February 16, at the Binh Duong Provincial Convention and Exhibition Center, Thu Dau Mot City.

Master Hoang Thanh Tu, Deputy Head of Information and Communication Department, University of Science (Ho Chi Minh City National University), said that this is a good question. Master Thanh Tu said that when choosing a career, students often hear advice from people around them. That is family, teachers, friends. For example, "don't study this career, our teachers are very poor, why study it?" Or some friends will comment, "I think you are impulsive and hot-tempered, pedagogy is not suitable."
However, according to Master Thanh Tu, when faced with this advice, students must be the ones to analyze why they are "not suitable" according to everyone's comments. And students themselves must evaluate and feel their own abilities to see if they are really suitable for the major, why they chose it, how they like it, and whether they can change themselves to meet the requirements of the major.
In response to the male student's concerns about job opportunities, economic conditions when choosing a teaching career, and the difficulties of the profession, Master Thanh Tu said, "Every profession has its own opportunities, difficulties, and challenges. There is no such thing as an easy job with a high salary."
"We often hear that "teaching is the noblest of all noble professions". So this pedagogical profession is extremely important. In the future, there will be more and more policies from the state to support materially and spiritually so that those working in the pedagogical profession can feel secure in teaching", said Master Thanh Tu.
At the same time, according to the Deputy Head of the Information and Communication Department, University of Science (Ho Chi Minh City National University), in the future, the pedagogical industry will receive much attention from parents, society, businesses, investors in the education sector... so that teachers can work with peace of mind.

In short, Master Thanh Tu advises male students when choosing a career, first of all, they need to consider what they want and dream of. Second, what is the purpose of studying this major. Third, whether they are capable of meeting the requirements of the major or not. And finally, they must choose by themselves after considering the advice of people around them.
Circular 29 on extra teaching and learning opens up more directions for both teachers and students.
That is the opinion of Dr. Huynh Tan Loi, Head of the Environmental Science PhD Department at Van Lang University, in response to the concerns of students at the Exam Season Consulting program.
Dr. Loi said that he was once a student who was advised by everyone to pursue a career in education, but he chose to study engineering and eventually became a lecturer, standing on the podium to share with students.
The 2025 Exam Consulting Program received many good questions from students.

Recently, Dr. Loi has had a lot of contact with students and teachers of secondary and high schools when training teachers on how to integrate environmental issues into teaching activities at secondary level. This shows that when teachers follow the path of pedagogy, they always have the opportunity to improve their professional capacity in depth. In order for students to have admirable achievements and win scientific research awards, teachers must also improve and make a lot of effort...
"Currently, with the story of Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training regulating extra teaching and learning, in my opinion, it is an opportunity to open up new directions in finding more effective learning methods for students and teaching methods for teachers to improve teaching quality. Extra teaching and learning is more strictly managed and registered for business, so students when taking extra lessons will also have better quality. In my opinion, that is not a barrier to the development of teachers at all levels from primary, secondary and high school," Dr. Loi stated his opinion.
