On the afternoon of June 3, at the regular Government press conference, Deputy Minister Hoang Minh Son answered the press about concerns about the lack of textbooks, especially for the first grades to change books such as grades 4, 8, and 11. He said that the reason was that localities were slow in selecting books this year, partly because some localities were waiting for price approval. To date, localities have approved all types of books.
The Ministry of Education and Training has worked with the Education Publishing House many times to resolve internal difficulties and direct the development of plans. First of all, books from previous years are not new books. Books for other classes have been proactively printed in advance and have basically been completed.
"The books for grades 4, 8, and 11 are all new. Yesterday, the bidding was opened to print nearly 80% of the books, and about 20% are based on the full reports from localities so that the Education Publishing House can plan the printing. In June, 80% will be printed and continue to be completed in time for the new school year, with enough books for grades 4, 8, and 11. This will complete enough books for general education," said Mr. Hoang Minh Son.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son answered at the press conference.
Regarding the issue of textbook compilation, the Deputy Minister of Education and Training said that the policy of socializing textbooks, compiling, publishing and printing textbooks is a major policy proposed in Resolution No. 88 of 2014 of the National Assembly. The 14th National Assembly also has Resolution No. 122, which is that when compiling textbooks by the socialized method, if a specific subject completes at least a set of textbooks that have been appraised and approved, then textbook compilation using the state budget for that subject will not be implemented.
This time, all approved classes (9/12 classes) have 3 sets of textbooks. The Ministry of Education and Training will strictly implement Resolution 122 of the National Assembly. In the near future, it will continue to review and approve 3 final grade textbooks for grades 5, 9, and 12 (review and approval will be in June). Thus, there is currently no direction from higher levels on the Ministry of Education and Training to organize the compilation of textbooks.
