Teachers send more than 6,000 questions to the Minister of Education and Training

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc An, Chairman of the Vietnam Education Trade Union, said that the program "Minister meets with teachers, managers, and staff in the education and training sector in 2023" will be held on August 15.

The meeting will take place in a combination of face-to-face and online format between the bridge located at the Ministry of Education and Training and 63 provinces and cities. In the morning, Minister Son will have a dialogue with preschool and primary school teachers. In the afternoon of the same day, he will meet with university lecturers.

"This is the first time the minister has had a dialogue with teachers, managers and staff in the education sector nationwide," said Mr. An. According to him, the dialogue's content is about life, work and the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training from kindergarten to university.

To prepare for this meeting, the Vietnam Education Trade Union conducted a survey and collected teachers' opinions in advance. "Up to now, we have received more than 6,000 opinions, focusing on three groups of issues," Mr. An informed.

The first group of opinions stated the current status of management and organization of implementation of the ministry's directives.

The second group shared difficulties and shortcomings in policies, life, and work, as well as the shortcomings and concerns of teachers regarding the innovation of programs and textbooks at the high school level and autonomy at the university level. Along with that, many opinions gave suggestions and solutions.

Finally, teachers sent questions about educational strategies, solutions of the minister and the education sector when facing problems of current education levels.

Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son responded to the petition about the salary of teachers in disadvantaged areas at the labor forum held at the National Assembly on the afternoon of July 28.

The meeting of the Minister of Education and Training took place right before the new school year, in the context of many issues of the sector being concerned. These include the situation of teachers quitting their jobs, lack of teachers everywhere; implementation of new general education programs and textbooks; university tuition fees...

Ms. Nguyen Quyen, 50 years old, a primary school teacher in Ha Giang, is looking forward to the Minister of Education and Training clarifying further issues related to teachers' salaries and professional titles.

"When there was controversy surrounding the issue of keeping a university degree for 9 years before being promoted, I sent my opinion to the ministry to share the difficulties of older teachers working in remote areas, who love their job but have not been properly compensated," Ms. Quyen said and hoped to receive a response from the minister on this issue.
