| The workshop "Ethical education for high school students - Current situation and solutions" received the attention of many experts and educators. |
This morning (October 25), in Hanoi, the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (Vietnam Union of Associations) in collaboration with the Institute for Educational Development Cooperation held a workshop on "Ethical education for high school students - Current situation and solutions".
Morality is the root of man
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Thao, Vice President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, said that Uncle Ho had repeatedly affirmed that morality is the root of human beings. Accordingly, morality is the foundation for developing capacity and other qualities of personality. The main way to form morality is through education and daily activities. For general schools, moral education for students is the most important task.
The practice of moral education for students in recent years has been a matter of concern for the entire education sector and society. Cases of violations of ethics, lifestyle, and law have caused public opinion to be extremely worried and indignant at the state of moral degradation and decline of students. One of the reasons for this situation is that general schools today only focus on teaching culture and do not attach due importance to moral education.
Faced with that reality, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quang Thao hopes that the conference will collect opinions and multi-dimensional perspectives from experts and scientists on education. From there, propose solutions to prevent the risk of moral degradation of students as well as recommendations to authorities on mechanisms, policies and methods of management and education on effective and practical solutions.
From his perspective, Associate Professor, Dr. To Ba Truong, Institute for Educational Development Cooperation Research, affirmed that moral education for high school students today has special significance and importance in shaping their personality and comprehensive development. Moral education helps students understand and imbue moral values, thereby building a healthy personality and lifestyle.
Students who are educated in ethics will know how to behave properly in different situations, thereby developing communication and teamwork skills. This is very important in building social relationships and working effectively in the community. At the same time, ethics education helps prevent negative behaviors such as school violence, cheating, etc. Thus, early ethics education helps students become good citizens, with a sense of responsibility to society and the country.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. To Ba Truong, in recent years, the moral degradation of high school students has been on the rise, with many serious violations showing signs of moral and lifestyle degradation. The situation of students insulting teachers has occurred in some localities. "These are signs of crossing the red line in social moral standards, alarming, causing public outrage," Mr. To Ba Truong emphasized. Therefore, it is necessary to resolve it thoroughly, immediately, without delay.

Thoroughly understand the educational philosophy of "First learn etiquette, then learn literature"
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Tuan (Institute for Educational Development Cooperation Research) said that in recent years, the situation of students violating ethics and the law has been causing public concern. The number of violations has increased, with violators of all ages and levels of education; the level of violations is more serious. Among the violations are drug addiction, assisting in the trade of banned goods... In particular, the state of ideological degradation, loss of confidence, indifference, apathy, loose lifestyle, and deviation from the norm of a part of students is the most dangerous risk today.
Faced with this situation, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Tuan has proposed fundamental solutions to prevent the risk of moral degradation in students. Specifically, building schools into real centers for moral education for students; clearly defining the purpose and function of the process of moral and personality education for students in schools; innovating educational programs, increasing the proportion of time and subjects of moral education in schools; developing moral education content for each class and each level of education appropriate to the age; diversifying methods and forms of organizing moral education in schools.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Tuan emphasized: “The issue of improving the quality of moral education and preventing the risk of moral degradation among high school students in the current context is an urgent task for all high schools and the entire education sector. The fundamental solution to prevent the risk of moral degradation among students is to thoroughly grasp the educational philosophy of “Learning Etiquette First, Learning Literature Later”, truly taking morality as the foundation in building the current general education program and content”.
Expressing his opinion, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Viet Vuong, Hanoi National University of Education, stated that moral education is an important content in schools, contributing to building a comprehensive personality for students. To do so, it is necessary to use diverse and attractive methods and forms of organization, suitable to the psychological characteristics of students' ages. Researching the theory and practice of moral education and lifestyle for high school students in the current period is timely and urgent in order to find educational measures to prevent deviant behaviors of students and improve the quality of general education.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Viet Vuong, there are many reasons leading to deviant behaviors in ethics and lifestyle of students (due to psychological characteristics of age; due to family factors; development of the Internet, social networks; due to market mechanisms, globalization...).
Therefore, it is necessary to use diverse and attractive methods and forms of organization that are suitable for the psychological characteristics of students. In particular, schools need to coordinate with families, authorities and local agencies and organizations to promptly detect deviant behaviors inside and outside of school, in order to find timely measures to prevent and correct them.
Providing solutions, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Viet Vuong said that it is necessary to improve family education capacity. The education sector should compile documents on family education, ethics, traditional and modern lifestyles of the civilized world for students and parents to refer to.
At the same time, improve the quality of school education. Science and practice both confirm that the best way to educate students about ethics and lifestyle is through teaching science subjects to improve their cognitive abilities and independent thinking. At the same time, improve the quality of teaching social sciences, ethics, civic education, history, etc. In addition, improve the quality and effectiveness of coordination between educational forces, build close relationships between families, schools and society to coordinate in solving situations that may arise for students.
“It can be said that moral and lifestyle education for students needs to impact all three aspects: awareness, attitude and moral behavior to help them have enough knowledge, skills and confidence to handle all situations in social relationships,” Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Viet Vuong affirmed.
