On the afternoon of January 5th, the Ministry of Education and Training announced that it had posted and was seeking feedback from relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals on the Ministry's electronic portal regarding the draft Circular amending and supplementing Circular No. 29/2024/TT-BGDĐT of the Minister of Education and Training regulating supplementary teaching and learning.
During the drafting process of the circular, the Ministry of Education and Training sent requests for opinions to several provincial Departments of Education and Training to assess the impact and gather feedback from local management practices.
Based on the feedback received, the Ministry of Education and Training has studied and incorporated as many valid suggestions as possible to finalize the draft, ensuring its feasibility and suitability to practical conditions, before officially seeking public opinion as stipulated.
The Ministry of Education and Training emphasizes that tutoring activities involve many areas of law, including education , teachers, civil servants, anti-corruption, financial management, security and order, and the rights of learners. This is not a conditional business service. Therefore, the management of tutoring activities needs to be comprehensive, synchronized, ensuring legal discipline, transparency, and practicality.
The draft circular does not prohibit legitimate tutoring or supplementary classes, nor does it restrict the legitimate learning needs of students or the teaching rights of teachers as stipulated by law. The focus of the draft is to strengthen management measures in accordance with regulations, minimize disguised tutoring practices, coercion of students to attend extra classes, and profiteering from tutoring activities that negatively impact a healthy educational environment.
At the same time, the draft circular clarifies the scope of regulation, defining enhanced educational activities and educational activities based on the legitimate needs and interests of learners aimed at the holistic development of students, organized according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, and not falling within the scope of supplementary teaching and learning.
A recurring theme in the draft is strengthening the management of teachers' tutoring activities; linking tutoring activities to professional ethical standards, duties, rights, and prohibited actions for teachers as stipulated in the Law on Teachers.
The draft also clarifies the accountability of school principals in managing extracurricular tutoring activities within the school. Principals are empowered to be proactive and flexible in organizing and implementing these activities, including the right to propose increasing the duration of extracurricular tutoring within the school for student groups permitted to receive tutoring according to Circular No. 29, based on actual needs, the school's teaching conditions, and the requests of teachers, parents, and students.
Proposals to increase the duration of extra classes must be considered and decided upon within the proper authority, ensuring that the scope of students is not expanded, and that extra classes are not distorted. Furthermore, the principal must be fully accountable for the necessity, reasonableness, transparency, and effectiveness of the implementation, in accordance with the Law on Public Employees and other relevant legal regulations.
The draft circular adds regulations on the reporting responsibilities of teachers participating in extracurricular tutoring. Specifically, it requires teachers to clearly report their relationship with the entity registered as the business owner of the tutoring facility.
This regulation aims to increase transparency in tutoring activities, prevent the abuse of position, authority, or relatives to organize or control tutoring activities, thereby avoiding conflicts of interest, in line with the spirit of the Law on Prevention and Combat of Corruption.
