When is the conduct graded average?

A teacher in Dak Nong was beaten by a parent who came to her house. This parent's child's conduct was classified as average.

Currently, secondary and high schools are applying two circulars of the Ministry of Education and Training to evaluate and classify students.

According to Circular No. 58 of the Ministry of Education and Training in 2011, student conduct is assessed and classified as: good, fair, average, poor. According to Circular No. 22 of the Ministry of Education and Training in 2021, the assessment and classification of junior high school and high school students' conduct is replaced by the assessment of training results with 1 of 4 levels: good, fair, satisfactory and unsatisfactory.

Conduct assessment and classification according to Circular No. 58

Pursuant to Article 4 of the Regulations on assessment and classification of secondary and high school students (issued with Circular 58), secondary and high school students are assessed and classified based on their attitudes, ethical behavior, conduct with others, results of participation in labor, collective activities... according to four categories: good, fair, average and poor.

Readers of Thanh Nien Newspaper unanimously condemned the behavior of a parent who beat a teacher because his child's conduct was rated as average.

No more grading of student conduct according to Circular 2021

In Circular No. 22 of the Ministry of Education and Training in 2021, the assessment and classification of conduct of secondary and high school students is replaced by the assessment of training results. Accordingly, teachers will assess training results based on the students' qualities, general abilities, progress, strengths, and limitations in the process of training and studying the subject.

Students' training results in each semester and the whole year are evaluated according to 1 of 4 levels: good, fair, satisfactory and unsatisfactory.

What is the roadmap for applying Circular 22?

There is one point that parents need to note: Circular 22 (the circular does not classify student conduct) takes effect from September 5, 2021 and replaces Circular No. 58 of 2011 with the following implementation roadmap:

• From 2021-2022 for grade 6.
• From 2022-2023 for grades 7 and 10
• From 2023-2024 for grades 8 and 11
• From 2024-2025 for grades 9 and 12

Thus, in this school year (2022-2023), students in grades 11 and 12 will still be classified as having average conduct according to Circular No. 58, so there will still be cases of students being classified as having average conduct.

"As a last resort, students are classified as having average conduct."

The story of a parent in Dak Nong beating a teacher because her child was classified as having average conduct at a high school caused outrage in public opinion.

Speaking to Thanh Nien Newspaper reporters on the morning of May 27, the principal of a middle school and high school in Ho Chi Minh City said that in the past school year, the school applied both Circulars 22 and 58. "Most students were classified as having good or fair conduct, and their training results were good or fair. Only a few students were classified as having average conduct or satisfactory training results," the principal said.

According to the principal, in the case of an average conduct rating, teachers must meet and the school must consider many things, carefully base on the instructions and circulars of the Ministry of Education and Training to come to this rating result.

"Most students with average conduct have violated discipline, committed mistakes many times, have been warned but have not changed, or violated discipline at the end of the second semester, there is not much time left in the school year to record the process of correction and change... And most of them are students whose parents neglect their children, whose parents also behave in an unprofessional manner, and whose family education is not good," said the principal.
