At the conference, opinions expressed agreement with Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training, as it aligns with many current policies and regulations and practical requirements. However, to make it more rigorous and specific, delegates suggested that the draft Decision of the Provincial People's Committee promulgating regulations on extracurricular tutoring in the province should more clearly define the management of extracurricular tutoring outside of schools; the responsibilities of principals and relevant levels and sectors; the necessary physical facilities for organizing tutoring; and the mechanism for granting and managing finances, etc. All opinions of the delegates were acknowledged and specifically addressed by the Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training, Vo Thi Minh Duyen, at the conference.
