Excited with the new learning rhythm
The implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day has created a vibrant learning atmosphere in schools. Many students expressed their excitement and joy at having more time to study and practice with teachers and friends; at the same time, they clearly felt the progress in their knowledge and skills.
Expressing his excitement when the school implemented 2 sessions/day, Nguyen Tran Hai Yen - a 12th grade student at Ha Trung High School (Thanh Hoa) - said that thanks to the second session, he was able to practice the discipline under the management of teachers and become more diligent.
In addition, as a senior, extra classes in the afternoon help her have more time to spend and study with teachers and friends, so Hai Yen appreciates this time even more.
I have more time to practice, apply morning knowledge and learn more advanced knowledge. The learning atmosphere with the enthusiastic companionship and exchange of teachers and friends helps me absorb more effectively. The school has also created conditions for students to participate in training activities, experience and develop personal interests in the afternoon. Thanks to that, I have the opportunity to improve my learning skills and how to behave in many different situations, while recognizing and promoting my strengths in the subjects I love," Hai Yen said.
Sharing about the implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day, Ms. Nguyen Thi My Hanh - a parent of a student in Nghe An expressed her agreement and support. I am very excited when my child studies 2 sessions/day at school. The children have more time to study right in class, are paired with teachers, and are guided in a timely manner, so the family is more secure. I noticed that my child became more dynamic and confident, and at the same time practiced communication skills, working in groups..., Ms. Hanh said.
Efforts to effectively implement 2 teaching sessions/day
Currently, Vinh Loc Secondary School (Tuyen Quang) is surveying and classifying students to prepare for teaching 2 sessions/day. Sharing about the benefits that this model brings, Ms. Tran Thi Thu Trang - a teacher at the school commented: "The implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day has brought many advantages to students. First of all, the timetable is reasonably allocated, 4 periods in the morning and 3 periods in the afternoon, helping students no longer have the pressure to study intensively, avoiding congestion. Students have the opportunity to absorb knowledge more gently and regularly".
In addition, parents do not have to pay additional fees for this program, so it creates fair conditions for all students. In secondary school, studying 2 sessions/day can help students have more time to consolidate their knowledge and practice skills in major subjects. Thanks to that, they not only have more favorable learning opportunities but also reduce the need to attend extra classes outside of school.
Thong Nhat Secondary School (Hanoi) has implemented teaching sessions 2/day. Mr. Lai Phu Quan - a teacher at the school said that in the morning, he focused on imparting knowledge according to the 2018 General Education Program; in the afternoon, he combined extracurricular activities, including STEM club, arts and physical education to comprehensively develop students.
This is not only a solution to help students grasp knowledge and develop comprehensive skills, but also contributes to reducing the pressure of extra learning, creating a positive, modern and humane learning environment.
Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Tran Duy Trung - Principal of Hoa Hau Secondary School (Ninh Binh) - said that the school has been implementing a teaching plan of 2 sessions/day in accordance with instructions. However, the implementation process still has certain difficulties.
According to Mr. Trung, to overcome the difficulties, the school has proactively developed specific plans, including close coordination with homeroom teachers and students of all classes. "We aim to both ensure the quality of regular teaching and learning, and create more cultural activities and skill training for students. This is also an opportunity for them to have more time to study, practice, and develop comprehensively. With the determination of the pedagogical team and the support of parents, the school will strive to maintain and effectively implement the 2-session/day teaching plan, bringing practical benefits to students", Mr. Trung emphasized.
