Teachers are given extra classes outside of school.

According to the Circular recently issued by the Ministry of Education and Training, teachers can participate in extra teaching outside of school and collect fees according to regulations.

According to Circular 29/2024 just issued, the Ministry of Education and Training clearly stipulates cases where extra teaching and extra teaching are not allowed, including:

• Do not organize extra classes for primary school students, except in the following cases: art training, physical education, and life skills training.
• Teachers are not allowed to teach students outside of school that they are assigned to teach according to the school's educational plan.
• Teachers in public schools are not allowed to participate in the management and operation of extra-curricular teaching.

Thus, compared to the old regulations, the new Circular allows teachers to participate in extra teaching outside of school, on the condition that they must ask permission from the school principal and clearly report the time, location, and form of extra teaching.

The level of tuition fees for extra-curricular study outside of school is agreed upon between parents, students and the tutoring facility. The collection, management and use of tuition fees shall comply with the provisions of the law on finance, assets, accounting, taxes and other relevant regulations.

Tutoring no more than 2 periods/week

Regarding extra teaching in schools, the Circular also stipulates that the arrangement of classes, assignment of teachers, arrangement of timetables and organization of extra teaching and learning must ensure the following requirements:

• Extra classes are arranged by subject for each grade; each class has no more than 45 students according to the regulations of the General School Charter;
• In one week, each subject will have no more than 2 additional periods (to ensure that it does not exceed the average number of periods of subjects according to the regulations of the general education program);
• Do not schedule extra classes to alternate with the regular curriculum (to limit the negative effects of forcing students to take extra classes);
• Do not teach additional content in advance compared to the subject program distribution in the school's education plan.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the above regulations aim to ensure increased responsibility of schools in fully implementing the requirements set forth in the general education program.

Schools have the opportunity to devote unused time and space to organizing educational activities, life skills training, cultural, artistic, physical education, and sports activities, etc. to comprehensively develop students; at the same time, limit the behavior of "forcing students to take extra classes" that causes public outrage.
