Ministry of Education setting eyes for competitions for high school students

• Education sector and comprehensive reform efforts
• 70-year-old teacher gives poor kids an education they deserve
• Ensuring human rights in re-education of offenders
• Dissemination and education on traffic safety through stage performances

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training is conducting a comprehensive review on the current situation of the competitions, which are held for teachers and students.

The review aims to eliminate the ineffective exams, which impose pressure on teachers, students and schools, badly affect teaching and learning activities, and caused anxieties and worries to teachers, students, parents and society as a whole.

In the dispatch, the Ministry of Education and Training asked its local departments to clarify both advantages and disadvantages of the current competitions and exams, and to find out the difficulties that teachers and students face while participating in such competitions. The local departments are also asked to propose ideas and suggestions on the organization of competitions and exams in the future.

Earlier, the Ministry of Education and Training had sent a dispatch to the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, requesting a halt in organizing the “Chinh Phuc Vu Mon” competition, following parents’ negative feedbacks about its inappropriate contents.
