Need to unify and synchronize textbooks
The National Assembly delegation of Quang Tri province organized meetings with voters before the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly in Quang Tri province. There, many opinions were recorded regarding the limitations and shortcomings in the education sector.
Accordingly, at the meetings, local voters requested the Government, ministries and branches to unify a set of standard textbooks applied nationwide to facilitate teaching and learning.
Voters in Quang Tri town gave an example: in a family with many siblings, the older brother cannot let the younger brother use old books because the exercises are printed inside the books, which is wasteful. In many localities, especially in mountainous districts and remote areas, most people are still poor and have many children, so every time a new school year begins, the cost of buying books is an economic burden.
In addition, voters also raised the policy of career orientation for students after finishing secondary school that is not practical, there is still a surplus of teachers and a shortage of workers, unemployment, and businesses still lack skilled workers. And they recommended that the education sector review and re-plan the school system to ensure real orientation for students. Especially planning the university education system to ensure the training of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to serve the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country.
Miraculous cure to "untie" teachers
Voter Le Ngoc Vu (Ward 2, Quang Tri town) said that the disease of achievement still exists in the education sector, which is the requirement that the quality of excellent students must be high, there must still be exams for excellent teachers, extracurricular activities, classes, meetings, and dozens of records and books each year... All of these things take up time and create great pressure for teachers.
Citing recent school violence cases that have been condemned by society, in which the victims are not only students but also teachers, voter Le Ngoc Vu requested that the education sector remove unnecessary pressures and constraints on teachers; return time, return teachers to their proper teaching positions, and allow teachers enough time to focus on improving the quality of their lectures, investing time, and finding solutions to better educate students.
"There needs to be a mechanism to protect the reputation, honor, and dignity of teachers" - voter Le Ngoc Vu expressed his opinion.
Mr. Ha Sy Dong - Permanent Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province - said that not only in this year's voter contact session, but also in previous years, voters' opinions on the fields of education, textbooks, school violence, education reform, etc. have always received attention.
"This is an issue that voters in the province in particular and voters across the country in general are very concerned about at present and have received many comments. The provincial National Assembly Delegation will make recommendations to the National Assembly on this issue," said Mr. Ha Sy Dong.
