What principles must tutors meet?

According to Circular 29/2024/TT-BGDĐT of the Ministry of Education and Training, extra classes can only be organized when students have the need, volunteer and have the consent of their parents or guardians.

Article 3 of Circular 29/2024/TT-BGDDT stipulates that extra teaching and learning can only be organized when students have the need to learn extra, voluntarily learn extra, and have the consent of their parents or guardians. Schools, organizations, and individuals organizing extra teaching and learning must not use any form to force students to learn extra.

The content of extra teaching and learning must not be contrary to the provisions of Vietnamese law and must not contain prejudices about ethnicity, religion, occupation, gender, or social status. The content of teaching according to the school's educational plan must not be reduced to include extra teaching.

Extra teaching and learning must contribute to developing students' qualities and abilities; must not affect the organization and implementation of the school's educational program and the implementation of teachers' subject programs.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the 2018 general education program has specified the number of periods/subject, and set out requirements for each subject that are suitable for students. The Ministry also gives schools the autonomy to develop plans to ensure effectiveness, and teachers focus on innovating teaching methods to achieve the goal of the new program, which is to develop students' abilities.

Thus, in principle, schools and teachers who implement the prescribed study hours can ensure that students acquire knowledge and meet the requirements of the educational program. In addition to the study hours according to the program, schools need to organize many fun activities, sports training, drawing, music, etc. for students to participate enthusiastically.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh - Director of Secondary Education Department, Ministry of Education and Training.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh - Director of the Department of Secondary Education, Ministry of Education and Training said that the new point in this circular is that the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates 3 subjects of extra teaching and learning in schools but is not allowed to collect money from students, including: students with unsatisfactory subject learning results; students selected by the school to nurture excellent students; students reviewing for graduation exams and entrance exams.

Thus, the school and teachers have implemented the prescribed study hours to ensure that students have the knowledge and meet the requirements of the program. If students have not met the requirements, the school must be responsible for teaching extra lessons, also known as knowledge remediation. The same is true for students selected to train excellent students and students preparing for final exams, which are included in the school's plan.

“In addition, teachers need to guide students on self-study and self-discovery methods to absorb the content learned in class, avoiding the practice of forcing knowledge into extra classes, which is ineffective. The Ministry of Education and Training limits 3 groups of extra teachers and students in schools to target schools that do not have extra classes and tutoring,” Mr. Thanh informed.
