In recent times, the Party and the State have issued many new policies and guidelines with strong impacts, aiming to promote development and breakthroughs in education and training. Therefore, reviewing and updating the legal, political and practical bases in the new context is necessary to make appropriate adjustments and supplements in the implementation of Circular 29. The revised and supplemented contents of the Circular aim to ensure that they meet practical requirements in the management of extra teaching and learning, consistent with the provisions of the amended and supplemented Law on Education; the Law on Organization of Government; the Law on Teachers and other relevant laws.
According to Circular 29, there are three subjects that are allowed to teach and study extra in schools without collecting tuition fees from students and are only for students who register for extra classes by subject, including: Students whose study results for the last semester of the previous semester are not satisfactory; students selected by the school to train excellent students; final year students who voluntarily register for entrance exam review and graduation exam review according to the school's education plan. Regarding the amount of extra teaching time in schools, Circular 29 stipulates that each subject can be organized for no more than 2 periods/week (point c, clause 4, Article 5).
In the process of implementing Circular 29, receiving the opinions and recommendations of many voters, organizations and individuals, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to adjust and amend the provisions at Point c, Clause 4, Article 5 of Circular 29 in the direction of: Allowing more flexibility in the duration of extra teaching in schools, by giving the Director of the Department of Education and Training the authority to decide on cases at the request of the school Principal.
Specifically, the draft Circular amends and supplements the content: The school principal, based on the practical conditions of the school (in terms of facilities, teaching staff, time to organize the second session of teaching according to the school's education plan, allocated budget...), considers the necessity and appropriateness, and adds more teaching and learning time for some students of the school to propose to the Director of the Department of Education and Training to consider and decide for the benefit of the students.
This amendment and supplement still ensures the core principles of Circular 29 on the management of extra teaching and learning in schools: not collecting money from students, not increasing learning pressure, not restricting students' right to study; enhancing the quality of regular school hours, providing time and space for students to experience, practice, and train through educational activities according to individual needs for comprehensive development.
The draft amended and supplemented Circular also adjusts the business registration requirements for organizations or individuals organizing extra-curricular teaching and learning activities that collect fees from students to comply with the provisions of the new Enterprise Law when diversifying business types. At the same time, it adds regulations on regular updates on the electronic information portal or posting at the place where the extra-curricular teaching facility is located when publicizing information for organizations organizing extra-curricular teaching and learning activities outside of school to increase the effectiveness of timely supervision by society.
The draft Circular also provides stricter regulations on reporting by teachers who are teaching at schools when they participate in extra-curricular teaching. Teachers must report before starting and update the report when there is a change in one of the report contents. This regulation aims to strengthen the management responsibility of the Principal.
In addition, amend and supplement the responsibilities of the People's Committee at the commune level (transferring the responsibilities of the previous district-level People's Committee to the People's Committee at the commune level) and the provincial level to comply with the Law on Organization of Local Government No. 72/2025/QH15 dated June 16, 2025.
The amendment and supplement to Circular 29 continues to affirm the spirit of serving the interests of students, in accordance with the Law on Teachers No. 73/2025/QH15, when strictly prohibiting teachers from "Forcing students to participate in extra classes in any form", preserving the image and dignity of teachers according to the provisions of the 2019 Law on Education on prohibited acts in educational institutions.
