The Ministry of Education and Training abolishes the form of school suspension and discipline in a humane manner
The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued Circular 19/2025/TT-BGDDT, effective from October 31, regulating new regulations on rewards and discipline for students. Accordingly, all forms of discipline have been stipulated in Circular No. 08/TT including: Reprimand in front of class; Reprimand in front of the school's disciplinary council; Warning in front of the whole school; One-week review; One-year review is abolished, instead, students are only subject to reminders, criticism, apology or writing a self-criticism. The highest penalty at present is only writing a review, expressing a humane approach, valuing education instead of excluding it.
Many students and teachers positively evaluate the new regulation. Tuan Anh - a 10th grade student in Thanh Tri commune (Hanoi) - believes that disciplining in the direction of letting students look back at their mistakes will help them become more mature and not suffer heavy damage. However, the male student is also wondering if he only wrote a review, it would be easier to do it through speakers, so he should combine other educational activities such as public service or extracurricular work to make students truly aware of their responsibilities.
Sharing about this issue, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Huyen - a teacher at Nghi Kim Primary School (Nghe An) said that suspending students easily makes students feel distant, self-conscious and negatively affects their personality. See more...

The Central Steering Committee on summarizing Resolution 18-NQ/TW has just issued a document guiding the rearrangement of the school system, emphasizing: restructuring higher education institutions, merging or dissolving schools that do not meet standards, and at the same time eliminating intermediate levels to ensure streamlined and effective governance. This is considered an inevitable solution to improve the quality of human resources and regain social trust in education.

The elimination of intermediate levels, typically the School Council, is considered a "government reform" but in reality, many conflicts and overlaps are also identified as necessary. See more...
