Ho Chi Minh City abolishes regulations on extra teaching and learning after 8 pm

On October 29, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training announced that it was collecting comments on the draft regulations on extra teaching and learning in the city. Before the merger, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training issued regulations on extra teaching and learning, but after the merger, the regulations were no longer suitable to the actual situation.

The draft regulations on extra teaching and learning submitted by the Department of Education and Training to the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City include 5 chapters and 10 articles. Compared to the regulations on extra teaching and learning in Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training , the regulations on extra teaching and learning in Ho Chi Minh City have new points, not only publicizing the fees, timetables, and tutoring centers, but also having to publicize the list of extra learners... Notably, the previous regulation prohibiting extra teaching after 8 pm is now removed.

The People's Committees at the commune and ward levels are responsible for managing extra teaching and learning activities within their management scope in the area.

Another new point of this draft compared to the previous one is clearly defining the responsibilities of the parties, from the Department of Education and Training to related departments and branches, People's Committees of wards, communes, special zones, school principals and tutoring facilities.

In particular, the Department of Education and Training is responsible for managing, guiding, and organizing the implementation of regulations on extra teaching and learning for schools, organizations, and related individuals under its management in the area; coordinating and advising the City People's Committee to arrange budget funds for extra teaching and learning activities in schools...

The responsibility of the People's Committees at the commune and ward levels is to manage extra teaching and learning activities for schools, organizations and individuals under their management in the area; handle or recommend to competent authorities to handle violations; monitor and inspect compliance with legal regulations on working hours, overtime 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...

According to the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, extra teaching and learning is a real need and has a high tendency, existing alongside the education sector. The issue of extra teaching and learning is influenced and affected by many subjects (students, parents, teachers) and has pressures and social desires on students' learning. Therefore, managing extra teaching and learning is necessary to improve the quality of education and ensure the rights of relevant parties.

Currently, in Ho Chi Minh City, there are two basic types of extra teaching and learning: organized in schools and outside schools. Extra teaching outside schools has many forms: after-hours cultural enrichment centers, extra teaching and learning centers, home teaching, teaching groups, tutoring. Therefore, management is very complicated and sometimes difficult, and cannot be managed tightly.

Ho Chi Minh City currently has about 3,000 teachers registered to teach and learn at 1,300 centers, all of which are publicly available on the Department of Education and Training's teaching and learning management software at: https://dtht.hcm.edu.vn.
