Allow students class 10 selected subjects

From the school year 2022-2023, the Ministry of Education and Training will implement the General Education Program (GDPT) 2018 with grades 3, 7 and 10, in which the 10th grade program is of particular interest, because the 10th grade marks the first step. important transitions for students, towards specific goals during their high school years, and getting into the university or major of their choice.

In the current curriculum, students must study 17 subjects and educational activities. With the new program, students will study fewer subjects and be selected according to their aptitudes and interests.

The most important new feature of the new 10th grade program in particular and the high school level in general is allowing students to choose subjects and learning content.

Specifically, students will study compulsory subjects and educational activities, elective subjects, study topics and elective subjects.

– Group of natural sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Biology.

– Technology and arts group: Technology, Informatics and Art (including Music and Fine Arts).

Students can choose to study 5 subjects from these 3 subject groups, each group must choose at least 1 subject.

In addition to choosing subjects, for some subjects such as Technology, Informatics, Art, and Music, students can also choose the content of each subject.

There are many options for building a combination of elective subjects. When implementing, schools can be proactive in orienting and building subject complexes, based on meeting learners’ needs, and in accordance with the conditions of the teaching staff, facilities, equipment, etc. being taught…

Topics of Fine Arts

Some subjects have study topics. For example: Technology subject Industry and Agriculture. Fine Arts has many different topics, such as industrial design, multimedia art design, sculpture, painting, architecture… Students can choose study topics suitable to their own aspirations. body and organizational capacity of the school.

How to deploy reasonably and effectively?

The division of subjects right from the 10th grade will help students have a suitable study plan, invest more time and effort in the subject’s strengths, talents, recognize and evaluate abilities and abilities. their strengths and preferences. But because this is the first deployment, the preparation time is not much, so there are certain concerns.

Mr. Pham Xuan Tien, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training said: “Schools need to base on the capacity and level of students as well as the regional characteristics of the regions to choose the right books. so that teachers and students teach and learn in the best way”.

For a long time, career orientation for the future is often only interested in entering the final stage of high school or university. Meanwhile, many developed countries in the world such as Germany, USA, Japan… have promoted career orientation activities for students from high school level. Because in these countries, early career orientation will help improve labor productivity and students can easily settle down after graduation.

American high school programs follow a credit system, with many electives, accounting for 30%. Students can choose when to take that subject, which subject suits their interests and abilities, at what level of study it is (studying to graduate school to be a worker, studying to enter a state university, or studying for a university degree). to gain admission to prestigious schools like Harvard), or choose subjects that are relevant to a certain major at the University. Students can even lengthen or shorten their time out of school. This flexible curriculum adapts to the uniqueness of each student, thereby unleashing their passion for learning and creativity.

American high school program according to the credit system. Students can choose which subject suits their interests and abilities, and at what level do they study that subject?

During the high school years, the school’s team of counselors will accompany the students. On average, there will be one lesson a week with a counselor. During the lesson, teachers guide students on how to look up university information, make application documents, and prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT or TOEFL.

The counselor also closely follows the students and has private discussions to suggest a program suitable for their academic and financial capacity, family situation, and psychological and physiological maturity. .

The orientations will help students determine the right direction in the future. They will feel more confident when they prepare a solid luggage, consolidate their knowledge or have more new experiences.

For many years now, we have discussed a lot about the shortage of teachers and workers, and the unemployment of graduates. That is the consequence of career orientation is not taken seriously. The consequences of wasting social resources are huge.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build the 10th grade program in the direction of differentiation and career orientation for students, especially in the context of the rapidly changing labor market and competitive pressure in the future. also getting bigger.

However, it is interesting to see how to deploy it reasonably and effectively in practice, when the preparation time is not much, and the organization of the graduation exam in the future needs to change accordingly. also need to be calculated.
