- Universities, colleges, vocational schools and vocational training schools do not organize additional teaching and learning of contents according to the general education program.

+ Teachers are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school for students they are teaching in the regular curriculum without the permission of the Head of the agency that manages that teacher.
According to the new regulations in the draft, the professional group will hold a meeting to agree on proposals to the head of the school (Principal) for additional teaching and learning for subjects undertaken by the professional group. For subjects proposed for additional teaching and learning, the reasons, objectives, content, proposed duration of additional teaching and learning, and the list of teachers registered to teach additional teaching by subject in each grade must be clearly stated.
The principal, based on the proposal of the professional groups, organizes a meeting with the school leaders, heads of the professional groups, and representatives of the school's Parents' Association to agree on the organization of extra teaching and learning in which subjects and in which grades, ensuring practicality, fairness, transparency, and for the benefit of students.

Report to the direct management agency before organizing extra teaching and learning. The school's plan to organize extra teaching and learning is made public on the school's website and notified to parents.

Circular 17 of 2012 stipulates that students who wish to take extra classes must write an application to the school; parents or guardians whose children wish to take extra classes must directly sign and make a commitment to the school.
According to the draft, organizations or individuals doing business in extra-curricular teaching and learning activities outside of schools (hereinafter referred to as extra-curricular teaching establishments) must register their business in accordance with the provisions of law.

Teachers (including Vice Principals or their deputy heads) of public schools who participate in extracurricular teaching must report to the Principal about the subjects, locations, and times of extracurricular teaching and commit to the Principal to complete assigned tasks and not violate regulations.
In case a teacher's extracurricular class includes students from the class that the teacher is directly teaching at school, he/she must report and make a list of those students to the Principal and commit not to use any form of coercion to force students to take extra classes.
Principals who participate in extra-curricular teaching must report to and receive approval from the Head of the Department of Education and Training (for junior high schools) and the Director of the Department of Education and Training (for high schools).
