Báo Tiền Phong•28/02/2025TP - The question that most parents and students are currently concerned about is whether it's possible to pass the 10th grade entrance exam and get accepted into their desired high schools without attending extra classes?
Ms. Nguyen Thu Nga (mathematics teacher at Mac Dinh Chi Secondary School, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi ) said that when there are no more supplementary teaching sessions, teachers can only focus on improving the quality of their regular lessons. Instead of just the teacher lecturing, Ms. Nga encourages high-achieving students to interact and exchange ideas with weaker students, helping them consolidate their knowledge. When preparing worksheets for students, she also creates separate worksheets for the group of students who are struggling and not meeting the learning requirements.

Hung Yen tightens regulations on tutoring and supplementary classes.GD&TĐ - The People's Committee of Hung Yen province has just issued new regulations on tutoring and supplementary classes, clarifying the responsibilities of relevant departments, agencies, and units.  Many educational activities fall outside the scope of tutoring or supplementary classes.The objective of Circular 19 is to tighten discipline, prevent illegal, coercive, or exploitative tutoring, and protect a healthy and equitable educational environment in terms of access to education for all stakeholders. |
In the general assessment sheet, she also divided students into three levels. When grading the assignments, she can closely monitor the learning progress of each group of students and make adjustments as needed. Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhiep, Principal of Chu Van An Specialized High School, believes that whenever there are changes to the exam, remember to focus on easy and difficult questions. Therefore, parents and students should not worry too much; instead, they should plan and invest in revision to improve their scores and gain an advantage in the upcoming 10th grade entrance exam.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh, Head of the Secondary Education Department (Ministry of Education and Training), stated that the 2018 education program, issued by the Ministry and implemented uniformly nationwide, means that localities cannot independently set standards for knowledge or limit the scope of knowledge related to exam questions.
According to Mr. Thanh, Circular 29 stipulates that each subject should not have more than 2 free supplementary knowledge lessons per week, but it does not prohibit students from taking extra classes. Therefore, schools and teachers can organize extra self-study sessions at school outside of regular class hours, depending on the school's facilities, without any time limit.
Therefore, supplementary tutoring, as a guided self-study activity with teachers at school, should be encouraged. Schools need to open their doors and allocate classrooms and libraries for students to study independently. Currently, due to the widespread and prolonged nature of supplementary tutoring, students have limited self-study abilities and are heavily dependent on these classes.
Some teachers are only focused on teaching and haven't really paid attention to guiding students in self-study, assigning homework for students to study, work on, and practice at home. With the new regulations on tutoring and extra classes, teaching and learning methods also need to gradually change.
