Professor Hoang Van Cuong - National Assembly Delegate of Hanoi City - proposed that there must be a mechanism to collect evaluation opinions from students, parents and teachers using a confidential evaluation method, with only the person being evaluated and the manager knowing the results.
On the morning of November 9, in a discussion group at the National Assembly, Professor Hoang Van Cuong, with 40 years of teaching experience, made very dedicated contributions to the draft Law on Teachers. In the discussion group, Mr. Cuong affirmed: "Teaching is a special profession, the subject of impact is people, the product of education is knowledge. Therefore, the attitude and behavior of teachers in their work as well as in society must also be special and different."
Teachers must be responsible for encouraging students to develop their thinking and respect differences.
Accordingly, in addition to the 8 points regulating the obligations of teachers in Article 9, Professor Cuong suggested that it is necessary to supplement and emphasize that teachers must not only be exemplary and set an example in professional activities but also need to be exemplary in community activities and standards in social behavior.
In particular, teachers must not only respect, treat fairly, and protect the rights of students, but also have the responsibility to motivate, encourage, and inspire students to develop their own creative thinking. It is necessary to respect students' different opinions, as long as they do not violate the ethical and legal standards of students.
Professor Hoang Van Cuong proposed that in Article 26 on teacher evaluation, there should be a mechanism to collect evaluation opinions from students and parents using a confidential evaluation method, with only the person being evaluated (teacher) and the manager knowing the evaluation results.

Understanding teachers' "summer vacation rights"
Delegate Cuong affirmed that teachers, especially university lecturers, must have the responsibility of scientific research. "It can be seen that most of the Nobel Prizes in the world are at universities" - Professor Cuong cited.
Professor Cuong emphasized that teachers are not entitled to summer vacation, but this summer vacation must be associated with the task of participating in training, improving teachers' qualifications, participating in scientific research or participating in community activities appropriate to their expertise.
Next, Vietnam has 90% of international articles from university lecturers while universities only receive 6.7% of scientific research funding. Therefore, Article 28 on Teachers' Policy must be given priority in receiving scientific research topics. Teachers' scientific research and technology transfer topics must be given preferential treatment in terms of personal income tax.
Not only that, teachers must be responsible for participating in training, fostering and self-improvement to improve their qualifications. It is mandatory to have a teacher training fund. "In foreign countries, every teacher must be trained to improve their qualifications for at least 3-5 years" - said delegate Cuong.
Teachers should be given priority to buy social housing.
Professor Hoang Van Cuong agrees with the 6 points that teachers are not allowed to do and the 3 points that teachers are not allowed to do in Article 11. However, he believes that it is necessary to add a regulation that teachers are not allowed to participate in or directly conduct business in certain activities according to the regulations of the locality, school, and workplace. Because some business activities are very popular but are not suitable for teachers such as: selling insurance to parents, selling refreshments in front of the school gate, etc.
Regarding the regulation prohibiting forced tutoring in any form, Professor Cuong said that this regulation is not appropriate. "In order to implement the policy of not letting students repeat a grade, many responsible teachers often have to ask students with poor academic performance to stay behind for extra tutoring to help them grasp knowledge and keep up with their friends. This is not a motive for making money, it is not bad and should be encouraged" - Professor Hoang Van Cuong stated the reality. Therefore, he proposed to amend the regulation to: "Prohibiting forcing students to participate in extra classes for profit in any form".
In addition, this delegate also said that teachers are the priority group to buy social housing, not just low-income people, to ensure they have a place to live and work with peace of mind.
