Circular 29, effective from February 14, is causing a stir and concern among parents, students and teachers in the classroom.
In just a few days, from February 14, Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training will officially take effect, with the key content being to "tighten" the extra teaching and learning activities of teachers and students. Ahead of the new regulation, many extra classes across the country have had to temporarily stop, in the context of the important secondary and high school transfer exams approaching.
On social networking forums, many parents expressed their concerns about the new regulations on extra teaching and learning. " My child has always tried hard to study and improve his knowledge since the beginning of last year with the hope of passing the entrance exam to a prestigious specialized school in the province. However, the teacher stopping the extra class makes my child extremely worried, afraid that it will affect the results of the upcoming exam ," a parent shared.

Personal observation shows that the anxiety and insecurity of this parent is also the common mentality of many families with children preparing to enter the extremely important transition exams. Many people share my opinion that it is an undeniable fact that the need for extra classes is completely legitimate for a group of students, especially those with average or poor academic performance.
Each person's learning ability is different, their thinking and perception abilities are also different. For example, with my experience in school, for social subjects such as math, physics, chemistry, when the teacher finishes lecturing and does 1-2 sample exercises, if the teacher gives a new exercise, I think only a few in the class can do it right away, after solving the first exercise and going to the second exercise, the number of people who can do it right away continues to decrease.
It is important to understand that a lesson is only 45 minutes long and teachers cannot "burn" the lesson plan. So the need for extra classes is the need of students who do not understand the lesson, do not understand the lesson clearly and cannot do the exercises; they need to be re-instructed. Basically, in extra classes, teachers only guide students to do more exercises, re-explain the lesson that they did not understand in class, but do not teach new knowledge, ahead of the lesson plan. So extra classes are positive, are valuable; why should they be banned?!
That is from the students' needs, from the teachers' side, is "tightening" extra teaching treating them fairly like people in other fields and professions?
A teacher is also a bachelor, an engineer must also have enough qualifications, certificates of expertise, profession (pedagogy, teaching theory, information technology, foreign languages...), a pharmacist, doctor, lawyer, architect... must also be like that.
So why is a doctor allowed to work overtime at the hospital they are working at, or another hospital, or open their own clinic... but teachers are not allowed to work overtime, to use their labor freely and comfortably!?
So, in many ways, extra classes are necessary and legitimate. If students need and want to learn, there will be a place to meet their needs! If schools continue to prohibit them, parents will hire teachers to come home to teach their children if they are poor at studying (in fact, many people have hired teachers to teach at home).
