How can there be planning without schools and without classes for students?

Regarding class planning, Secretary General Lam emphasized that if there are students and teachers, there must be class leaders, otherwise there will be a situation where students do not have a class to study.

During the group discussion session on the draft Law on Teachers on the morning of November 9, General Secretary To Lam assessed that education holds a strategic position in personnel work, and teachers are the core factor in the education process. If education is to develop sustainably, we must first pay attention to building and developing the teaching staff.

According to the General Secretary, the Law on Teachers needs to clearly define the central role of teachers in the educational process. Universal education poses an urgent need to ensure enough teachers for all students.

"If there are students, there must be teachers. Without teachers, how can students go to school? Whatever is lacking, there must be policies to resolve it," said the General Secretary, adding that it is necessary to identify the important role of education and training, in which teachers are the main subject.

At the same time, the General Secretary also emphasized the role of students. The Law on Teachers needs to clarify and resolve the relationship between teachers and students, because "if there are no students, there will be no teachers".

General Secretary To Lam spoke this morning.

The General Secretary also emphasized the need to address increasingly progressive policies. For example, when addressing the policy of universal education, once universal, it must be gradually improved, "The State must feed and educate children, and eliminate tuition fees."

Reiterating the need to properly resolve the teacher-student relationship, the General Secretary raised the issue that in each ward, commune or district, how many school-age children are updated on the population data system each year. That means that if there are students, there must be proactive teachers, because "without teachers, how can children go to school?".

The General Secretary also mentioned the issue of school planning in some places today. "If there are students and teachers, there must be schools. How can we plan and manage it if there are no schools and students have no classrooms to study in?", the General Secretary requested to overcome this problem.

Along with that, the lack of teachers and no staff is a very current story and policies must cover this reality.

Continuing to give comments on the draft Law on Teachers, the General Secretary said that improving the professional qualifications of teachers is an urgent requirement. The draft law needs to define "teachers as scientists" - teachers are not only those who impart knowledge but also researchers.

"Learning and research cannot stop because science and knowledge do not stop. Teachers must have that mindset and must have deep expertise in their field," he emphasized.

In addition, in the trend of international integration, improving foreign language proficiency, especially English proficiency for teachers, is extremely urgent. The policy of the Party and State is to improve foreign language proficiency of students, gradually making English the second language in schools. Therefore, the draft law needs to stipulate the minimum foreign language proficiency that teachers must achieve to ensure teaching quality.

"If teachers don't know English, how can they teach students? Math teachers must also know English to teach math in English, Literature teachers must also know English to approach and integrate," the General Secretary stated his opinion.

Regarding the lifelong learning policy, the General Secretary said that if it is stipulated that teachers who reach retirement age are no longer allowed to teach, it will be very difficult and resources will not be mobilized. Because a professor in the education sector, although older, has more prestige and experience, so he needs to be encouraged to participate in education and teaching work.

"There are female teachers who spend their youth teaching in the highlands and cannot build families or official houses, and do not have a place to live," the General Secretary said, asking the drafting agency to research specific policies to encourage and motivate teachers and talented people to work in the highlands.

In particular, for teachers in special environments such as prisons, remote areas, and particularly difficult areas, according to the General Secretary, there must be specific policies.

The General Secretary hopes that when the Law on Teachers is enacted, it will truly create favorable conditions for those working in education. "The Law must be welcomed and enthusiastically received by teachers, truly honored and created favorable conditions for teachers. If the Law is not enacted, teachers will find it more difficult," the General Secretary emphasized.

This morning, authorized by the Prime Minister to submit to the National Assembly the draft Law on Teachers, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that the Law is expected to overcome the local surplus and shortage of teachers; have specific and breakthrough policies to support and attract talents to the education sector, helping those with passion to work in remote, border and island areas.

The Government proposed that the National Assembly delegate the right to actively recruit teachers to the education sector. The Ministry of Education and Training is the agency in charge of developing strategies, projects, plans for development and management of the total number of teachers to meet the actual needs of each locality and each level of education.

Currently, the three main laws that directly affect the activities of teachers are the Law on Civil Servants, the Law on Education and the Labor Code. Of which, the Law on Civil Servants regulates general issues on recruitment, employment and management of civil servants. The Law on Education regulates comprehensive issues on the national education system, including teachers. It is a framework law, so the regulations on teachers are not complete and comprehensive, especially in terms of recruitment, employment and management.
