Artists and athletes teach: What do students want?

The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued Official Letter 5215/BGDĐT-GDPT guiding the invitation of artists, experts, and athletes to teach at schools. This policy immediately received attention and response from students, who expect to learn directly from their idols or people with real-life experiences, instead of just through books.

Want to learn about the difficulties in the journey to conquer passion

As soon as the information that artists, experts, and athletes could participate in teaching was announced, many students could not hide their excitement.

For them, it was not only a new lesson, but also an opportunity to meet their idols in person and learn directly from them.

Tran Nhu My, a student at Go Vap High School (Hanh Thong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), believes that this will be an opportunity to learn many "life" lessons from special teachers.

“I think experts or artists who have many years of experience in the profession will definitely know how to achieve their current success. I hope to learn about the difficulties in an artist’s journey to conquer their passion, how to deal with negative comments and how to be confident in front of a crowd,” Phuong My expressed.

Do Thanh Danh, a student at Pham Phu Thu High School (Binh Tien Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), could not hide his excitement at the thought of meeting his idol right in class.

“If I had to choose an artist I would most like to learn from, it would definitely be Phuong My Chi. She often appears in our literary references. Chi’s appearance will definitely “stir up” the whole class and bring us many life lessons.”

Teachers also commented that inviting artists, athletes or experts to teach will help change the classroom atmosphere, create motivation and help students become more confident.

Teacher Do Duc Anh, Bui Thi Xuan High School (Ben Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), hopes that after each lesson with experts, students will learn inspiration, motivation and love for the profession; develop good soft skills and especially self-confidence, believing that each individual can shine in their own way.

“Want to learn to write music, poetry and find inspiration for writing”

Not only stopping at excitement, many students expressed their desire to experience different lessons in both form and content. They expected that instead of just listening to theory, they would participate in interactive activities, practice, and even creative challenges with their idols.

Dao Duy Huy, a student at Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School (Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), wishes to join the artist in music and life skills classes.

“I want to learn how to write music, write poetry or listen to artists share how they find inspiration for their work. Their practical sharing will help me practice easily and achieve immediate results,” Duy Huy shared.

Many students also expect that inviting artists, athletes or experts to school will create a change in the way they approach knowledge. Instead of passive learning, students want to interact more, participate and experience for themselves.

Nguyen Khanh Nha Dan, a student at Phu Nhuan High School (Duc Nhuan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), said: “If I get to study with an expert, I hope there will be group activities, situational discussions or even career simulations so we can try our hand. That way, it will be fun and we can learn many practical skills.”

Teacher Do Duc Anh believes that inviting artists, experts, and athletes to teach is a way to "open the classroom to life".

“The biggest difference between classes with artists and experts is the experience. Students will not only listen to theory, but also listen to stories and practical experiences from those who have gone before. Life experiences, passion, and inspiration are valuable lessons that are sometimes difficult to create in a normal class,” Mr. Duc Anh added.

Students’ excitement and expectations are not only limited to learning new knowledge but also open up opportunities for experience, creativity and growth. Lessons with artists, athletes or experts promise to be a turning point, inspiring and stimulating creative potential, helping students become more confident on the path of learning and self-development.
