On September 20th, Mr. Vu Minh Duc, Director of the Department of Teachers and Educational Management Staff (Ministry of Education and Training), stated that immediately after receiving information about the misconduct of a student at Dai Kim Secondary School (Hanoi) towards a teacher, the Ministry of Education and Training requested the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and Dai Kim Secondary School to report on the incident. Simultaneously, a document was sent to the Hanoi People's Committee and the Dinh Cong Ward People's Committee requesting them to direct local authorities to verify and strictly handle any violations (if any) in accordance with the law to ensure the safety, health, honor, and dignity of teachers while performing their duties.

The Ministry of Education and Training considers this a serious incident, affecting the safety and health of teachers; negatively impacting the educational environment and the nation's tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing education"; and contrary to the regulations of the Government and the Ministry of Education and Training on building a safe, healthy, and friendly pedagogical environment and preventing school violence.

"All wrongdoing must be dealt with strictly according to the law. On the other hand, in handling students, especially in special cases, appropriate measures should be considered to ensure both educational and deterrent effects, while also providing opportunities for students to correct their mistakes," Mr. Duc said.

The Ministry of Education and Training requested the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to learn from experience and direct schools, especially Dai Kim Secondary School, to focus on building a safe, healthy, democratic pedagogical environment without school violence.

In addition, the Ministry requires focusing on moral education, awareness of law compliance, and respect for teachers for students; doing a good job of school psychological counseling, early detecting cases of students showing abnormal psychological signs so that families can take appropriate care and education measures; improving the management and operation capacity of the Board of Directors, proactively and taking measures to handle unsafe situations in schools; promptly detecting and preventing student misconduct; closely coordinating with students' families and local authorities to ensure school safety.

Previously, on the afternoon of September 16, 2025, at Dai Kim Secondary School, a student in class 7A14 grabbed the homeroom teacher's hair, pushed her head down, and tried to snatch back a sharp toy that had been confiscated.

Following the incident, the Board of Directors of Dai Kim Secondary School organized a meeting where the students admitted their mistakes, invited parents to discuss and agree on educational measures, promptly encouraged and reassured the teachers, and reported the matter to the Ward People's Committee and relevant authorities for coordinated resolution.
