Whatever you do, don't add pressure to teachers.

Graduated from teacher training college not qualified to teach?

A series of articles in Thanh Nien Newspaper recording the opinions and explanations of the Ministry of Education and Training regarding the plan to include in the draft Law on Teachers a provision that teachers must have a professional certificate has received special attention from the public. Many readers sent in opposing opinions, concerns and constructive suggestions.

Reader Dung Le wrote: "I am an outsider, not very clear about the regulations of the education sector, but I think that a teacher (who has graduated from a teacher training college) is qualified to teach! The Ministry of Education and Training should strictly regulate the standards, required certificates or mandatory exams for schools to implement; so that when graduating, teachers all meet the regulations to be teachers.

On the other hand, in addition to tightening input and output and only allowing pedagogical universities to train teachers, we should not legalize the training majors of other universities (not pedagogical majors but taking supplementary courses for a few months to obtain a pedagogical certificate) to recruit teachers! This will improve the quality of teachers and reduce the suffering of teachers.

Reader Tran Quang Hoa also said that teachers (in general) have undergone formal training and have degrees. This says it all. So why add a professional certificate to make things more complicated? What is the use of it? Why do we think of adding unnecessary cumbersome procedures when we reduce unnecessary procedures?

Reader Phu Luu Huu wrote: "To become a teacher, you must study pedagogy. Those who do not study pedagogy must have a pedagogical certificate to be able to teach, and then a professional title certificate. Why do we now have to issue a practice certificate? Please pay attention to policies so that teachers can feel secure in their profession! Don't make teachers suffer!"

You named Thang Thang suggested that the money spent on granting professional certificates to teachers should be allocated to teacher training schools to improve teaching quality.

According to this reader, when issuing a type of "sub-license", it is necessary to assess the long-term impact and the significant budget cost, and there will even be negative consequences when issuing it.

A reader named Que Ha Noi compared: "I understand it simply like this, for example, I study at a technical workers' school, of course I am qualified to work as a worker. I graduate with a good degree in civil electricity. So do I have to apply for (or be) granted a certificate of professional status as a worker?"

Reader Duc Minh said: "No matter what the certificate is, it adds pressure to poor teachers and students!". Reader Lam was surprised: "So entering the teaching profession has never been recognized as having a "certificate"?".

A form of "sub-license"

Reader Nguyen PTV commented: "This is like a form of "sub-license" that will soon cause problems with the current "ask for permission" mechanism, creating more difficulties for teachers."

Also worried, reader Thanh Tam said: "Not only the education sector, but also ministries and sectors are very enthusiastic about creating all kinds of "practice licenses"! When everyone has "run" enough, they see that the license is "no longer suitable" and create a new license. Therefore, state management agencies are always busy with organizing training, granting licenses, checking licenses... so reducing staff is like throwing stones into a pond of duckweed."

Reader Nhiem Ngo expressed his opinion: "If a certificate is required to practice, there will be places that sell certificates, because if it is free, management will probably be lax...".

Another reader commented: "Only medical practitioners with a practice certificate can rent it out for at least 5 million. No one will rent this license and there will be many unnecessary procedures that will arise later, as well as wasting a lot of time and causing consequences for millions of teachers."

Reader Le Ngoc Khien believes that "creating" this type of practice certificate is only harmful and ineffective, wasting teachers' time and money.

Reader Phu Luu Huu also raised the question: "1.5 million teachers need to study and take exams to get certificates even though they are already teaching normally. How will this cost money, time, and affect teaching and learning? Will there be a group that benefits from compiling programs, organizing classes, and collecting money? Only teachers are the most disadvantaged! Is there a "group interest" here?"
