Ensuring team quality

One of the key factors ensuring the quality of education is the team of managers, teachers and staff.

By the end of the 2024-2025 school year, Thanh Hoa province has 47,834 people working in the education sector. Of which: Preschool level: 16,825 people; Primary level: 14,764 people; Secondary level: 10,925 people and High school level: 5,317 people.

The management staff at all levels is arranged scientifically and reasonably, creating favorable conditions for managing professional activities and implementing emulation movements in the school.

However, currently, Thanh Hoa Education sector is still lacking thousands of teachers, mainly at preschool and primary levels, which are large-scale and have high work pressure.

The shortage of teachers occurs in most localities in the province, significantly affecting the quality of teaching and the implementation of innovation in general education programs.

Faced with that reality, the Thanh Hoa Education sector has been proposing urgent solutions such as: Recruiting additional teachers, reasonably transferring teachers between regions; at the same time, enhancing training and improving professional capacity for the existing team.

Along with the staff improvement, Thanh Hoa Education sector also actively innovates the curriculum, textbooks, teaching methods; focuses on developing students' qualities and abilities; enhances the application of information technology in teaching and educational management.

Overall, it can be affirmed that after the merger of administrative units, Thanh Hoa Education sector has maintained a stable scale, ensured quality, and at the same time demonstrated quick adaptation to changes in practice. From the school network to the teaching staff, all factors are organized scientifically, synchronously and effectively.

“In the coming time, the Department of Education and Training will propose that Thanh Hoa province continue to prioritize investment in education, both in terms of human resources and facilities, and modernize schools to meet the requirements of innovation and sustainable development. The results achieved in the past time are an important foundation for the province to confidently enter a new phase with the goal of improving the quality of comprehensive education, serving the local socio-economic development,” said Mr. Ta Hong Luu - Deputy Director in charge of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa.
