Accordingly, the relevant units are to organize, disseminate, and publicize Circular 29 on regulations regarding supplementary teaching and learning to officials, civil servants, teachers, staff, students, and parents.

Schools should promptly identify, address, and propose appropriate solutions to difficulties and obstacles encountered during the implementation of Circular 29.

Absolutely no extra tutoring should be organized for primary school students.

Regarding the Department of Education and Training, the official document states that it must strictly implement the directives of the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thu Duc City and the districts and communes on guiding and inspecting extracurricular tutoring activities in the area.
