At the training conference on tutoring management software on the afternoon of April 11, Mr. Ho Tan Minh said that Ho Chi Minh City is a large city, with frequent traffic jams during rush hour.

According to the Department of Education and Training, after school (around 4-5pm), students need time to comfortably travel home, eat, rest, and then go to the tutoring center if needed. However, it is appropriate for all these activities to end before 8pm.

According to Mr. Minh, many schools in Ho Chi Minh City currently teach two sessions. Students are at school all day, and if they take extra classes, they need to do so in moderation to ensure their health. Therefore, finishing extra classes before 8 p.m. is reasonable so that students have time to spend with their families.

The Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City said that the Department has researched and consulted with departments, agencies, and experts and found that banning extra classes after 8:00 p.m. is appropriate. Therefore, the Department of Education and Training will submit this content to the City People's Committee.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has 1,300 tutoring centers with 3,300 registered teachers. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training launched a website to help parents look up everything about tutoring and tutoring at https://dtht.hcm.edu.vn/.

According to statistics, 93% of primary, secondary and high schools in Ho Chi Minh City have 2 sessions per day.
