The unified textbook set will be implemented according to a strict process.

(NLDO)- Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that the compilation, appraisal and issuance of a unified set of textbooks will be carried out according to strict procedures.

On October 17, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) held a conference to review and evaluate the results of implementing the general education program and textbooks for the 2020-2025 period.

The conference was held in a combination of in-person and online formats with more than 40 locations nationwide.

Speaking at the conference, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said that the preparation of a unified set of textbooks for the whole country will be implemented from the 2026-2027 school year. The compilation, appraisal and issuance of the unified set of textbooks will be carried out according to a strict and scientific process, inheriting the results achieved in the previous stage, while overcoming the existing shortcomings.

The head of the education sector also emphasized that the education sector has completed a complete cycle from grade 1 to grade 12, achieving both breadth and depth, meeting the goals of the new program - a comprehensive innovation at the general education level.

The new program has many different, "non-traditional" elements, requiring strong adaptation, shifting from imparting knowledge to developing learners' qualities and abilities - a change of profound philosophical significance. Textbooks are also transformed from "knowledge packages" to open learning materials, helping teachers guide students to develop their abilities.

Regarding the tasks in the coming time, the Minister stated that "it is necessary to maintain and improve the work that has been done, and prepare for the new phase". Accordingly, it is necessary to review, improve and develop the program after a period of operation, and implement it in a scientific and methodical manner. Localities need to continue to advise the government and pay more attention to the conditions for implementing the program, including facilities, equipment, finance and staff.

The Minister also proposed promoting digital transformation and applying AI in teaching and learning, but it must be cautious, appropriate and controlled.

Director of the General Education Department Thai Van Tai said that implementing the National Assembly's resolutions on innovation of general education programs and textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Training has developed and promulgated the general education program; organized the compilation, appraisal and approval of textbooks; and coordinated with ministries, branches and localities to prepare conditions for teaching staff, facilities and teaching equipment.

Regarding textbooks, for the first time, the socialization policy was successfully implemented, attracting 7 publishers and 12 joint stock companies to participate in the compilation, with 3,844 authors nationwide. The process of compiling, evaluating, approving and selecting textbooks was carried out publicly, transparently, and ensured quality. Localities also actively compiled local educational materials, contributing to bringing regional-specific content into schools.
