What does the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training say about educational collaboration activities in schools?

On the afternoon of December 18th, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training released information regarding several issues related to the education sector.

Regarding information on the implementation of collaborative educational activities at general education institutions, Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of the Office of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, said that the implementation of collaborative programs in organizing two-session-per-day teaching has promoted the proactiveness and creativity of the education sector and educational institutions, while also contributing to diversifying the content and forms of teaching and learning.

"The educational results and outstanding achievements of students in the past school year are clear evidence of the quality of general education in the city, and at the same time affirm the efforts, dedication and responsibility of the management staff, teachers and students in effectively implementing the policy of teaching two sessions/day," Mr. Minh said.

The collaborative program has made a significant contribution to shaping a generation of well-rounded students: knowledgeable, skilled, physically healthy, dynamic, confident, creative, technologically proficient, courageous, responsible, ambitious, and ready to integrate into the global community.

However, according to Mr. Minh, the joint programs still have some limitations, such as the lack of classrooms, functional rooms, and experiential learning spaces in some educational institutions. There is also a shortage of teachers in some specialized subjects, affecting the organization of two-session teaching per day. Furthermore, the content and format of the second session at some institutions are not diverse enough and do not fully meet the requirements for developing students' competencies...

Financial resources for two-session-per-day teaching are limited, and social participation is uneven. The quality of organizing two-session-per-day teaching varies among different institutions.
