According to Lao Dong reporters at the one-stop-shop of Thanh Xuan District People's Committee on the morning of February 18, many teachers came to register for extra classes, but many people had difficulty preparing documents.

Despite careful preparation, for many days now, Mr. Nguyen Huu Bang (a Math teacher in Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi) has not been able to complete his application.
According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Bang, he had to supplement the documents many times at Thanh Xuan District People's Committee to complete the procedures to register a business household to teach extra classes.
Mr. Bang said that the business registration declaration has 2-3 pages but there is too much information that must be filled in such as business capital, tax registration information...
He added that not only does it require additional teaching to meet the business registration license, but it is also necessary to complete related regulations such as premises, classrooms, taxes, fire prevention and fighting, etc.
"Currently, I am waiting for my turn to submit the application as requested by the one-stop department from the previous day. If it is not possible, I will contact other teachers I know to ask about hiring lawyers to support the paperwork" - Mr. Bang said.
Meanwhile, Ms. Le Thi Quynh (Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi) went to the one-stop department at Thanh Xuan District People's Committee to receive the results of the license to register for extra teaching business.
Sharing with reporters, Ms. Quynh said: "My child is an English teacher at a public school. Because I could not register myself, I had to do business procedures on my child's behalf.
On February 14, I went to the one-stop department to find a way to register, there were many documents that needed to be completed. After 4 days, I was scheduled to come back to get the results, I don't know if I have been approved or not and still have to amend and supplement many times".
Ms. Quynh has a set of documents to register for a business license to teach extra classes, opened with many accompanying documents, including: health certificate, preliminary background of business owner, birth certificate, citizen identification photo, English certificate, certificate of completion of 120-session training course on Law Firm Composition and Information Technology Application in Teaching...

Looking at the extensive collection of documents, Ms. Quynh said: "The most important thing in this collection of documents is the retirement decision of teachers and the ESL English teaching method certificate with a total duration of 80 lectures. Because I was a teacher before, if these two documents were missing, it would be meaningless to be in the household name".
Ms. Quynh said that her daughter once considered going to a teacher training center, but in the end she had to make her own documents to open an extra-curricular center for her child. Because if you register with tutoring institutions, the cost will increase significantly.
"I asked some centers, but had to mobilize myself. Every month, if my daughter teaches them for hire, I have to pay back 40% of the cost. That is too high" - Ms. Quynh added.
According to Ms. Quynh, if the business registration results are received smoothly, this tap of documents will be initially resolved. To open the center, Ms. Quynh and her daughter need to meet all relevant conditions on security, order, safety, environmental sanitation, fire prevention and fighting in areas with extra classes, extra classes...
According to the reporter's records, not only in Thanh Xuan district, in recent days, at the one-stop department of many other districts in Hanoi, there has also been a situation of teachers lining up to register for extra teaching business. This is to ensure compliance with the regulations in Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Ministry of Education and Training: Circular 29 does not prohibit or " tighten" extra teaching
The Ministry of Education and Training affirms that Circular 29/2024/TT-BGDDT does not prohibit or "tighten" extra teaching and learning, but aims to manage more closely and transparently.
3 important new points:
Prohibit extra teaching for primary school students (except for arts, sports, life skills) and students from studying 2 sessions/day.
Extra teaching in schools is not charged, only for 3 groups of subjects according to regulations.
Teachers are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school with fees collected from their own students.
The Ministry of Education and Training emphasizes that tutoring must be for the benefit of students, not forced, and not affect the educational program. At the same time, localities need to support schools with funding to ensure teaching quality, especially for students with unsatisfactory results or need to review for the transfer exam, graduation exam.
