“So, if schools have carefully studied the official dispatches of the Ministry and Department and prepared in advance, they will not be embarrassed.
On the part of students and parents, what needs to be done is to consider to make the right choice.
Transitioning from a fixed schedule to a free choice of subjects will of course be a bit confusing at first, but this is an opportunity for students to decide on their own learning. I believe that these embarrassments, if any, will quickly pass with the appropriate advice and organization of the school.”
Before the concerns of many school leaders as well as teachers about the problem of excess – shortage of teachers that can occur when students have the right to choose subjects, as well as there are nearly 100 combinations of subjects that students can choose from. option, Mr. Thuyet asserted “Actually, the story is not that complicated”.
“Firstly, student choice of subjects means choosing to study topics of 3 subjects that best suit their career orientation. For example: Literature, History, Education, Economics and law.
The second is to choose 2 more subjects in another group. Example: Biology, Informatics (or Technology, Music).
As for the schools, the simplest way to do this is: First, organize fixed classes to learn compulsory subjects as before; Second, organize thematic classes; Determine the size of each class according to regulations. Third, arrange students into specialized classes according to their wishes; If the number of students enrolled in a class exceeds the specified number of students, the students will be transferred to another specialized class according to their wish. 2. The basis for choosing wish 1 is the “slope” of the entrance exam or the final course score. study it in secondary school,” explained Mr. Thuyet.
“Based on the provisions of the Program, the aspirations of the students, the teaching staff and their facilities, the schools will determine the combinations that are suitable for reality.”
2 immediate options to solve the shortage of teachers
Regarding the problem of shortage – excess of teachers in subjects such as Music, Fine Arts or Technology, Mr. Thuyet offered some solutions such as: “To overcome the immediate difficulties in teacher staffing, management agencies Local government managers can assign or sign teaching contracts with qualified teachers to teach these subjects from other educational levels and professional schools.
The education sector may also allow students to study these subjects at local professional schools, recognizing their academic results as if they were subjects in high school.
Of course, if not many local students have the desire to study these subjects, there is no need to apply the above solutions.”

“The new General Education program is designed to meet the diverse development requirements of students, both in the present and in the future, when teaching and learning conditions will change” – Mr. Thuyet noted. .
Talking more about the implementation of the new program in grades 1, 2 and 6, Mr. Thuyet said that there may be inadequacies at some stages, but basically, the program of these classes has been implemented smoothly. share, if not including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, there are no shortcomings in the teaching plan.
“However, from this third year, it is likely that difficulties will appear when students start learning Foreign Languages and Computing as compulsory educational contents.
The Prime Minister has issued Directive 16 on the implementation of the new General Education Program, which mentions the issue of teacher staffing and facilities. I believe that for the sake of their children, localities will have a solution to attract brothers and sisters who are trained in foreign languages, informatics and other specific subjects about working in the education sector, although the reality The fact is that this industry has low income, but the pressure is very high.”
Regarding the exam and assessment for 10th grade students in particular as well as all high school classes when implementing the new program, Professor Nguyen Minh Thuyet said that this issue is done in accordance with the directive documents of the Ministry of Education and Training. Education and Training. “I just want to talk about a situation that the CT Drafting Board has foreseen, that is, a case where a student in grade 10 chooses a combination of subjects, in grade 11, has a desire to change, how should it be resolved? In this case, the school reserves the student’s learning results in 10th grade so that the student can be promoted, if eligible. But in order to have enough knowledge and skills to study the subjects in the new complex, of course, that student must re-learn the topic of the new subject in grade 10. |
