The monitoring delegation and the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education stated that the Ministry of Education and Training needs to compile a textbook; this both ensures proactive textbook sources in all situations and demonstrates the state's responsibility.
Integrated teaching and learning is a sticking point in the innovation of general education programs.
However, many opinions from National Assembly deputies, experts and teachers believe that when there are many socialized textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Training compiling a set of textbooks will not only waste the state budget, but also create unfair competition when schools and localities will only choose textbooks from the Ministry of Education and Training.
Recently, on December 25, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed and issued Directive No. 32/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on continuing to promote fundamental and comprehensive innovation in general education. In which, the Ministry of Education and Training is required to summarize the implementation of innovation in general education programs and textbooks in 2018, on that basis, propose a plan, report to the Government to submit to the National Assembly on the organization of compiling a set of textbooks according to the provisions of Resolution No. 88 in 2025.
Public opinion inside and outside the education and training sector continues to pay attention, contribute ideas and wait to see how the Ministry of Education and Training will propose and report on this task that was once considered impossible.
The 2023-2024 school year is the third year of implementing the 2018 General Education Program at the secondary school level. However, the shortcomings of integrated subjects are still challenges for schools. This issue once again became "hotter" than ever when teacher Nguyen Xuan Khang, Principal of Marie Curie School (Hanoi), expressed his opinion in Thanh Nien Newspaper, suggesting that the Ministry of Education and Training should look directly at the difficulties and shortcomings of integrated teaching that schools are facing, which are directly threatening the quality of teaching this subject; suggesting that integrated subjects be eliminated to "return to the old way" of single subjects as before. This opinion received great agreement and support.
Whether or not the Ministry of Education and Training should compile another set of textbooks according to Resolution 88 after many sets of textbooks have been socialized is a matter that continues to cause debate.
Afterwards, the Minister of Education and Training, when reporting to the National Assembly's monitoring delegation as well as in dialogue with teachers, also called integration "the biggest obstacle, difficulty and bottleneck" in the innovation of the general education program this time and promised to make "major adjustments".
In November, the Ministry of Education and Training issued a document guiding integrated teaching, not an adjustment. Many opinions said that this guidance is not new, many localities have implemented it since the first year. The most important thing is that the difficulties in teachers teaching integrated teaching and the curriculum still remain; the answer to when there will be enough teachers trained to teach integrated teaching is still open. This means that the story of no teachers teaching integrated teaching or single-subject teachers having to go for training to teach integrated teaching is unknown when it will end. However, according to the head of the education and training sector, "this is an issue that needs to be implemented, not a requirement of time or a month to complete it".
