Building Happy Schools is the key task of this school year in Ho Chi Minh City.
Students and teachers are loved
At the conference to announce the set of criteria and the plan to implement happy schools in kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and high schools, Ms. Cao Thi Thien Phuc, Head of the Department of Political and Ideological Affairs of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that the set of criteria with 18 criteria is divided into 3 groups: People (6 criteria), teaching and educational activities (8 criteria) and environment (4 criteria).
Ms. Cao Thi Thien Phuc, Head of the Department of Political and Ideological Affairs of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, announced 18 criteria for happy schools.
In general, all happy school criteria aim to strengthen the building of behavioral culture in schools, develop capacity, improve personality and cultural lifestyle for staff, teachers and students, thereby contributing to improving the quality of education and training. Thus, the birth of the set of criteria is a "stepping stone" to build a happy school model; in which, the educational environment must be safe, healthy, friendly; students, staff and teachers are loved, respected, shared and understood.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc requires schools to implement voluntary and substantive
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Phuc, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, happiness is a process of feeling, so schools need to rely on surveys of emotions and attitudes of teachers and students over a long period of time. On that basis, school leaders will self-evaluate according to 3 levels: need to improve, fair and good for each criterion. Criteria that have been implemented well will be maintained, criteria that have not been implemented well need specific directions to improve quality.
"Do it for real, not administratively"
Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training requires schools to dialogue with students and teachers to bring happiness to the educational environment.
To build a sustainable happy school, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training requires educational institutions to implement it synchronously, in accordance with the actual conditions of each school and not for formality or achievement. Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that the Department will not organize inspections of the process of achieving the criteria, but each school will "self-improve" its happiness index. Thus, schools can create their own scale of happiness by dialogue, recording the opinions of teachers and students, and then adjusting accordingly.
Respect diversity and differences
The human standards group includes criteria for friendship and positive relationships in schools based on trust, respect, tolerance, and fairness; Officers, teachers, and staff actively listen, give constructive feedback, share, and support colleagues and students; Democracy is ensured, respecting diversity and differences in culture, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or physical and learning disabilities; Positive values and attitudes such as integrity, dedication, gratitude, cooperation, empathy, creativity, confidence, and positive behaviors are encouraged.
"Doing things practically, not administratively" is also what the Deputy Minister of Education and Training sent to the Department of Education and Training and schools. "Schools must evaluate voluntarily, based on the interests and progress of their own schools," Mr. Phuc expressed.
In addition, Mr. Phuc commented that the process of building a happy school is complicated and long-term, so schools cannot be hasty. On the other hand, the proposed criteria cannot be perfected immediately but will be continuously improved during actual implementation. From here, Mr. Phuc proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training establish an online forum specifically for teachers of schools to share good practices when applying the criteria so that other schools can learn from their experiences.
Assign learning tasks fairly and reasonably
In the group of standards on teaching and educational activities, the set of criteria mentions the assignment of reasonable and fair learning tasks, focusing on teaching and learning to promote learners' qualities and abilities, and subjects and educational activities applying active methods to promote teamwork spirit.
Agreeing with the policy of leaders at all levels, Ms. Nguyen Thi Chau, Principal of Viet Au High School (District 12) expressed: "The process of building a happy school does not need to be bureaucratic, as long as it creates smiles for teachers, students and parents. Only then will relationships at school come together with true love."
Disadvantages and flaws are just part of being a student.
The environmental standards group refers to the criteria of a safe, friendly learning environment free of violence and bullying (including online bullying); Schools that meet green school standards, vision...
In particular, this group of standards mentions the positive discipline criteria applied in schools. It includes suggestions for implementing the criteria: The report card is a record of the entire learning journey and the entire future journey of each person, so it is necessary to record the advantages and disadvantages, shortcomings are only a part of student life; when assessing shortcomings, it is necessary to consider the entire monitoring process after coordinating with the family to support the student; carefully consider the wording when commenting on the student's report card. The school keeps records related to student discipline according to regulations. Limit recording disciplinary forms in the report card, aiming at positive discipline of students.
