Prevent the negative
Extra study and extra teaching have now become a need of some students and parents. Many opinions suggest that, instead of banning it, extra teaching should be included in the conditional business sector, similar to doctors opening private clinics and working overtime. At that time, teachers will have rights and obligations according to the law, while improving the quality of extra teaching.
The Ministry of Education and Training has also repeatedly proposed making tutoring a conditional business profession.
Many parents expressed their agreement with this proposal, but also said that it needs to be seriously implemented in order for extra teaching to achieve good results.
Mr. Do Duc Phong (Cau Giay - Hanoi) proposed to turn tutoring and extra learning into a business, which will have a positive impact on price balance and limit teachers from automatically "inflating prices".
Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Vu Dinh Than (Cau Giay - Hanoi) said: "Putting tutoring into business is conditional, meaning there is management, organization and clear goals and objectives."
This also makes it easier to manage extra teaching and learning, with certain criteria, avoiding long-standing negative practices such as: tax evasion, forcing students to take extra classes, price inflation, etc.
Legalizing extra teaching, what rights and obligations do teachers have?
Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Manh Ha - University of Education, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, believes that each of us teachers has the right to work part-time like doctors or any other profession.
"However, whatever we do, we must comply with the provisions of the law. That means, if I am a teacher and I want to teach extra classes to earn more income and develop my expertise, I can join a company/center that is registered with that locality. I will comply with the law of the enterprise, other laws and regulations, and pay taxes properly...
According to the provisions of the Investment Law 2020, a conditional business investment industry is an industry in which investment and business activities must meet necessary conditions for reasons of national defense, national security, social order and safety, social ethics, public health, etc. If private tutoring is legalized, individuals and organizations must meet business conditions" - Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Manh Ha shared.
According to lawyer Nguyen Van Phi, Deputy Director of Lawkey LLC, individuals and organizations wishing to do business or participate in the tutoring and learning market must fully meet the business conditions before conducting business.
Business conditions such as requirements for tutors, requirements for individuals and organizations organizing tutoring activities, requirements for facilities, equipment, tuition fees for tutoring and learning activities, etc. will be specifically regulated for tighter management.
