On social networks, information about some incorrect historical content said to be in textbooks is spreading, and the Vietnam Education Publishing House has spoken out.
On March 15, a Facebook social networking site named "Vietnam History Forum LSVN" posted an article with incorrect historical content that was said to be material in textbooks.
Accordingly, the article attached a picture of a book page with the following incorrect content: "After destroying the Xuan Loc and Phan Rang defense bases, at 5:00 p.m. on April 26, five armies simultaneously entered the city center, capturing the headquarters of the Saigon government. At 11:30 a.m. the same day , the revolutionary flag flew on the roof of the Independence Palace, signaling the complete victory of the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign.

However, in reality, the above incorrect content was cut and edited from the History 12 textbook, Connecting knowledge with life series of Vietnam Education Publishing House.
Specifically, on page 51 of the History 12 textbook, the Connecting Knowledge with Life series of the Vietnam Education Publishing House, printed and circulated in the third quarter of 2024, the exact content is written as follows: "After destroying the Phan Rang and Xuan Loc defense bases, at 5:00 p.m. on April 26, five armies simultaneously entered the city center, capturing the headquarters of the Saigon government. At 11:30 a.m. on April 30, the revolutionary flag flew on the roof of the Independence Palace, signaling the complete victory of the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign".

Responding to the above issue, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Tung, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Education Publishing House, affirmed that the content distorting historical events above is not included in the textbooks of Vietnam Education Publishing House.
"Posting information that distorts the content of textbooks, is not in accordance with culture, history, and customs, and damages the reputation and legitimate interests of the Publishing House. In addition, this behavior creates bad public opinion in society.
Parents, students and people need to always be vigilant against all unverified and distorted information on social networking sites today," Associate Professor Tung said.
It is known that the Vietnam Education Publishing House is considering asking the authorities to investigate the origin of the above information. At the same time, clarify the responsibility of individuals and organizations that posted and distorted it.
Previously, the Ministry of Education and Training had asked the authorities to investigate the origin of false information spreading on social networks related to the content of the poem "Pounding rice to cook rice" which is not in the textbook.
