If there are regular students taking extra classes, what should the extra teacher do?

When Circular 29 on extra-curricular teaching and learning takes effect, if teachers are assigned to teach extra-curricular activities outside of school and are placed in classes with regular students, what should they do? This is something that teachers are very confused about.

According to Circular 29 on extra teaching and learning, the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that teachers are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school for money from their regular students. This is a regulation that is making parents worried and teachers worried about what to do if there are regular students in their extra classes?

In response to this question from teachers, Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, instructed that according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, teachers at public schools are not allowed to participate in the management and operation of extra-curricular teaching but can participate in extra-curricular teaching.

Teachers who are teaching at schools are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school for money from students that the teacher is assigned to teach according to the school's educational plan.

When teachers teach outside of school, they must teach at a place that is registered for business in accordance with the law.

Teachers who are teaching at schools and participate in extracurricular teaching must report to the principal, director, or head of the school about the subjects, location, form, and time of extracurricular teaching.

In it, Mr. Ho Tan Minh gave instructions that when the extra class at the tutoring facility has his own students, the teacher can ask the tutoring facility to rearrange the class to avoid teaching his own students. Or ask the tutoring facility not to charge for extra teaching of this subject to the above-mentioned students.

Mr. Ho Tan Minh also emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City's viewpoint is to resolutely follow the circular on extra classes of the Ministry of Education and Training, without any leniency or sympathy. This is a regulation that benefits students, contributing to ending the situation of forcing students to take extra classes.

Accordingly, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has assigned the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thu Duc City and districts to be responsible for managing extra teaching and learning activities in the area. Local authorities direct the Department of Education and Training to guide, organize or coordinate with relevant agencies to organize inspections of extra teaching and learning activities in the management area; handle according to authority or request competent agencies to handle violations. At the same time, direct the People's Committees at the commune level to monitor and inspect compliance with legal regulations on working hours, overtime hours and legal regulations on security, order, safety, environmental sanitation, fire prevention and fighting of organizations and individuals providing extra teaching and learning outside of school in the area.
