HCMC Department of Education and Training notes that teaching on Saturdays at schools lacks facilities
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that teaching 2 sessions/day is to effectively implement the General Education Program, helping to reduce learning pressure, improve the quality of education and create opportunities for students to participate in activities to develop talents and practice life skills. Schools proactively arrange flexible lessons, creating conditions for students to study more gently and develop comprehensively.
For schools that have taught 2 sessions/day, on Saturday mornings, they can organize training for excellent students, support for unsuccessful students or other educational activities on a voluntary basis. For schools that do not have enough facilities, studying in the wrong session during the week is a priority; only when it is really necessary, are classes arranged on Saturday mornings to ensure the program.
The Department will also issue a document regulating school opening and closing hours for the 2025-2026 school year so that schools can develop a unified timetable. At the same time, the education sector pays special attention to the psychology of students and parents, encouraging schools to publicize their study plans, regularly exchanging and consulting to create consensus and feel secure in accompanying their children.

Teaching 2 sessions/day towards comprehensive development, without putting pressure on students
Free tuition reduces burden, improves comprehensive education
The 2025-2026 school year begins with a tuition exemption policy from preschool to high school in the country, helping to reduce the financial burden on millions of parents. This is a humane step, creating fairness in education, ensuring that all students, regardless of their difficult or well-off circumstances, have the opportunity to go to school. In addition to tuition exemption, some localities also support extra boarding meals for students, helping parents feel more secure in raising their children.
At the same time, many localities have included the implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day in the plan to improve the quality of education. This model not only helps students absorb and consolidate knowledge more effectively but also creates conditions for participating in supplementary activities such as creative experience, career guidance, life skills, physical education, music, fine arts... thereby comprehensively developing both knowledge and skills.
However, implementing 2 teaching sessions/day still faces many difficulties due to limitations in facilities, equipment and financial resources. In addition, arranging a reasonable timetable to balance between regular, extracurricular and rest periods is also a challenge. Schools recommend support from management levels to reduce pressure on teachers, thereby ensuring the quality of teaching and learning. See more...
