Lack of teachers and the effectiveness of self-management activities at the primary level
Faced with the shortage of primary school teachers, teacher Phan Duy Nghia - Deputy Head of the Department of General Education, Ha Tinh Department of Education and Training, said that this is not only a staffing problem but also a daily organizational and operational issue of the school. How to ensure enough classes according to regulations, while maintaining boarding and stable hours for parents in conditions of shortage of people is a big challenge, if continuing to teach in the traditional way, it will easily fall into a passive position.
From practice, he proposed solutions to organize educational activities according to students' preferences, managed by them themselves. Activities are organized in groups, taking place simultaneously in the same time frame, without needing many teachers in class, but only needing one general supervisor to ensure safety, discipline and support when needed. For grade 3-5 students, self-management ability has been formed; grade 1-2 students can be supported by older classmates, both reducing pressure on teachers and increasing humanity in the school environment.
This solution helps schools use human resources flexibly, still ensure enough classes, maintain boarding and stable living, and at the same time bring peace of mind to parents. In terms of pedagogy, this is a targeted educational activity, taking students as the center, not "empty hours". In the context that the shortage of teachers cannot be solved immediately, this model demonstrates flexible management thinking, saving resources but still maintaining discipline and nurturing the joy of learning for students.
