HCMC plans to adjust school hours to avoid parents having to pick up their children at 14-15
On September 10, at the conference to give comments on the general education plan for the 2025-2026 school year, Mr. Ho Tan Minh - Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City said that he is asking for opinions to issue new regulations on school opening and school dismissal hours for students at all levels.
As planned, the morning will not start before 7am and there will be no more classes after 8am; the afternoon will end before 10:30am; the afternoon will not end before 4:30pm. This time frame helps schools flexibly arrange activities, stabilize discipline and reduce pressure on parents.
Mr. Minh emphasized that reasonable school hours will avoid parents having to leave work early to pick up their children, and at the same time require schools and teachers to strictly comply to ensure teaching quality, limit overlap, and facilitate both students and parents. See more...

Tr Trieu lacks books, principals in Gia Lai go online to ask for support
The 2025-2026 school year has begun, but nearly 60% of students at Dak Somei Primary School (Gia Lai), mainly children of the Ba Na and Mong ethnic groups, still lack textbooks, and almost no students in any class have enough sets of books. Faced with this situation, Principal Nguyen Xuan Luan posted on social media, calling on schools and donors to support.
After the information was shared, many individuals and units joined hands to donate, helping the school overcome the shortage of books. However, there are still about 300 books missing in the subjects of Physical Education, Music, Fine Arts and English. Due to difficult economic conditions, parents could not afford to buy books for their children, so many classes had to arrange 2-3 students to study together.
The newly established school library does not have a source of books, while the budget is only enough to pay for teachers' salaries and allowances. The local government said it would soon check and have a support plan to ensure that students' studies were not interrupted. See more...
