Attracting resources in the process of building textbook programs

The Deputy Prime Minister said that the thematic supervision work had been prepared methodically, elaborately, thoroughly, and in detail, from the guidance documents to the inspection activities in localities. From there, the supervision team made full and objective assessments on the implementation of Resolution No. 88/2014/QH13 and Resolution No. 51/2017/QH14 of the National Assembly on innovation of general education programs and textbooks.

Expressing agreement with the assessments, recommendations and proposals stated in the Report of the Monitoring Delegation, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, it is necessary to monitor the quality of the innovation process of the 2018 General Education Program through many aspects such as: Learner outcomes; changes in goals and methods of knowledge transfer; enhancing students' capacity, ability to actually study and practice... These issues need to be assessed more specifically when the Monitoring Resolution is issued, thereby having a more complete and accurate report.

Regarding the development of textbooks, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha said that at all levels and subjects, there have been a number of textbooks that have been socialized. Socialization to mobilize resources and the participation of the whole society in the implementation of textbook programs is necessary. However, in that process, the State must always play a leading role and be responsible to the end, from the program development stage to the appraisal stage, organizing councils, to the stage of summarizing and evaluating the implementation of textbook programs. "Wherever there is socialization, the State's role is still the leading role," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

However, even though choosing the socialization option to attract experts, educators, and teachers to participate in developing textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Training still has the responsibility to control the quality of these textbooks.
