During a discussion on the socio-economic situation on the morning of May 31 at the National Assembly, many National Assembly deputies raised questions about school violence.

Representative Nguyen Van Canh (Binh Dinh) shared: "Everybody has gone through a period of being a student, everyone wants to be sociable, wants to be encouraged, wants to express themselves, students with weak academic performance often tend to be violent."

According to NE, every child is gifted in certain fields. If they are not good at Math, Physics, Chemistry, then Literature, History and Geography, if they are not good at foreign languages, they will excel in music, painting and sports. Teachers and families need to pay attention, discover and foster so that every student can be good at some subjects and be recognized for their ability.

The National Assembly deputy suggested that the education sector have regulations to help students have the opportunity, whether it is an individual or group activity, to appear once a month in front of the class, once a year in front of the school to express themselves, integrate, and satisfy the desire to be recognized.

Representative Nguyen Van Canh also mentioned a situation that "children often contradict their parents' advice even if it is the right advice". One of the reasons, he says, is that parents teach their children too many things without prioritizing them. Many parents say that their children do not listen, but the same words, teachers say, the children obey.

Canh said that for children who are not polite, parents need to teach them scientifically. Parents avoid saying that their children are rude and disrespectful, but instruct them on how to do it right, because the child's behavior is not natural, but heard from adults.

For example, foreign children, after learning the ABC song by heart, then learn the song "Please, sorry, thank you" again, NE suggested that the preschool class after teaching them the ABC letters should continue to teach how to say: "Please, sorry, thank you" before learning the multiplication table or learning computer programming.

Proposal to make sex education an independent subject

Representative Dinh Thi Ngoc Dung (Hai Duong) again raised the issue of the unfortunate and painful consequences of teenage sex, although it is not a new story.

"Pregnancy in adulthood is not only a health problem, it also takes away many learning opportunities and choices of children in life," said the female NE.

According to the new general education program, the content of sex education is included in the compulsory formal subjects integrated in the natural and social subjects from grades 1, 2, 3 and the science curriculum of grades 4 and 5. At the lower secondary level, this content is at the end of the Biology grade 8 program.

However, according to Dung, the content is still thin, new knowledge stops at theory, teachers are still confused in teaching implementation, students only understand but have not applied to protect themselves.

As a matter of fact, the Ministry of Education and Training considers making sex education and reproductive health an independent subject, with its own program, separate curriculum, and content designed to suit the development of each age group at each level, in addition to the standard and scientific curriculum. The class teacher must be an experienced expert, ready to advise and explain students' questions.

Talking back later, Representative Nguyen Thi Quyen Thanh (Vinh Long) said that our country is implementing a new general education program, aiming for students to develop harmoniously physically and mentally, to become active, confident learners with good qualities and necessary competencies.

However, at present, school violence has worrying manifestations, in the opinion of NE Canh, NE Dung mentioned the painful events of the education sector in recent times, which partly shows that school culture has not been paid due attention. According to NE, this problem has many causes, from family, school and society.

However, it must also be frankly acknowledged that this is the responsibility of the head of the school in building relationships in the school on the basis of love, tolerance, altruism, frankness, honesty and responsibility through activities taking place in the school, from formal lessons to extracurricular activities, skills training for students.

Representative Nguyen Thi Quyen Thanh

Ms. Thanh suggested that the Ministry of Education and Training should promote the training program for management staff, especially the principal. Principals must have a scientific worldview to understand and master educational goals…

It is necessary to promote the organization of practical extracurricular programs, especially dialogue activities for students to listen to and share their views and perspectives on issues of public concern. This is a useful activity to build relationships and create consensus among school members.

NE emphasized, it is necessary to pay attention to building a good relationship between the school and the family. In the relationship between the school and the family, which has long required a lot of parental responsibility, we forget that parents also need to understand the goals of the school and have transparent information to create trust.
