According to Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong, extra teaching and learning is a real and ongoing need. With Circular 29, the Ministry of Education and Training does not prohibit extra teaching and learning, but it must be active extra teaching and learning in accordance with regulations.
Legal basis for managing extra teaching and learning
Inspection teams for the implementation of Circular No. 29/2024 regulating extra teaching and learning of the Ministry of Education and Training are conducting inspections of the implementation of the new regulations in provinces and cities across the country. The inspection period lasts until March 20, 2025.
According to the report of the Department of Education and Training of Quang Tri province, before the issuance of Circular 29, the whole province had 22 high schools, 46 middle schools organizing extra teaching and learning activities in schools and 12 extra teaching and learning facilities outside of schools. The subjects organized for extra teaching and learning are mainly Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, English, Geography. The number of teachers registered to teach extra teaching in and outside of schools accounted for approximately 20%.
After the Ministry of Education and Training issued Circular 29, the Department conducted research, grasped, and collected opinions from relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals, and advised the Provincial People's Committee to draft a Decision regulating extra teaching and learning in the province. The Department directed units and schools to thoroughly disseminate, propagate, and disseminate to cadres, teachers, school staff, parents, and students to correctly understand the regulations of Circular 29. Educational institutions continue to review and classify students according to their learning results to have a basis for organizing appropriate tutoring and review, focusing on students in grades 9 and 12 with low learning ability.
In Hanoi, according to Mr. Pham Quoc Toan, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training: Circular 29 has helped education management units have a clearer legal basis to manage extra teaching and learning, helping to limit the situation of rampant and illegal extra teaching and learning.
The Department of Education and Training is responsible for managing extra teaching and learning activities in the city, planning and organizing inspections and checks on the implementation of regulations on extra teaching and learning to prevent and handle violations according to its authority. Publicly announce the place to receive citizens at the agency's headquarters and the phone number used to receive and handle feedback on extra teaching and learning. Strengthen the management of teaching and learning activities in 2 sessions/day at educational institutions.
The review and collection of information on the implementation of regulations on extra teaching and learning at schools is coordinated synchronously from many levels and many forces in society...
Adjust teaching plan accordingly
Mr. Le Vinh Hiep, Principal of Tran Hung Dao Secondary School (Dong Ha City, Quang Tri) said: The school has proactively reviewed all extra teaching and learning activities as soon as the Circular was issued, without waiting for it to take effect. The organization of extra teaching with fees in the school has been completely stopped. All teachers in the school (53/53 people) have signed a commitment to comply with the provisions of Circular 29.
The suspension of paid tutoring in schools helps reduce the financial burden on parents, while encouraging students to develop self-study skills and be more proactive in acquiring knowledge. The school has quickly adjusted its teaching plan and assigned teachers appropriately to ensure the quality of education, especially for excellent students and 9th graders preparing for the high school entrance exam.
Regarding extra-curricular teaching, 9 out of 55 teachers of Tran Hung Dao Secondary School reported that they teach extra-curricular teaching. The school is waiting for instructions from the Department of Education and Training and the Provincial People's Committee to organize inspections and supervision of these extra-curricular teaching activities.
Mr. Dang Hoang Quy, Principal of Le Loi High School (Quang Tri) said that since February 3, the school has stopped extra teaching and learning activities in the school. Adjusting and maintaining tutoring, training excellent students and reviewing for high school graduation exams according to regulations. The cessation of extra teaching and learning activities, except for 3 groups of students for tutoring, training, and reviewing for exams as stated in Circular 29, has helped the school reduce management pressure.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thanh Ha, Principal of Phan Chu Trinh Secondary School (Hanoi), the school has more than 1,800 students in 44 classes and 99 administrators, teachers and staff. Before Circular 29 was issued, because the school had sufficient facilities, teachers and staff to organize 2 sessions/day for 100% of students, the school did not organize extra teaching and learning. The school also regularly inspected extra teaching and learning inside and outside the school, checked and grasped the situation of students in class regarding extra teaching and learning.
According to Ms. Truong Thi Thu Hien, a Literature teacher at Le Loi High School (Quang Tri): The best thing when Circular 29 comes into effect is that the prestige and honor of teachers are strengthened. This benefit is huge, when teachers do not teach extra classes with their students in class, their reputation increases even more. With this regulation, teachers who by one way or another attract students to extra classes will no longer have a "place to live".
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized that extra teaching and learning is a real and ongoing need. With Circular 29, the Ministry of Education and Training does not prohibit extra teaching and learning, but it must be positive extra teaching and learning according to regulations. The desire to teach and learn extra is legitimate, but it is necessary to consider whether it is appropriate or not. If it is not appropriate or effective, it will lead to waste, leading to consequences for students, teachers, and families. It is necessary to properly assess the consequences of rampant extra teaching and learning in order to have the right response... "There can be no more delay in managing extra teaching and learning. The spirit is unity, consensus, determination, efficiency, towards students, towards protecting genuine teachers. Resolutely overcome the consequences of rampant extra teaching and learning," said the Deputy Minister.
