Reduce pressure, focus on comprehensive student development
In addition to meeting new requirements, an issue that schools are concerned about is organizing teaching so that students do not suffer more pressure when the program has more and more content.
Right in the first year of operation, Phan Boi Chau High-Quality Secondary School (Long Bien ward, Hanoi) has identified that, along with completing facilities, the school focuses on building staff and education programs - factors that play a decisive role in quality in the early stages. In which, English is identified as a key direction.
With such a goal, Ms. Chu Thi Thu Huong - Principal of Phan Boi Chau High-Quality Secondary School said that the school sets strict requirements in the selection of teachers. All 6 selected English teachers have IELTS from 7.5 or higher, of which 4 teachers own IELTS certificates from 8.0 or higher and have experience in studying and teaching abroad. One teacher is studying for a Master's degree at Hanoi National University of Education; one teacher has a Master's degree in the UK and two teachers have a Master's degree in Australia.
Regarding the curriculum, in addition to 3 regular weekly lessons according to the standards of the Ministry of Education and Training, students will be strengthened with an English learning program with foreign teachers.
We will organize the "Language Day" every Thursday. Thereby, creating a natural and dynamic English communication environment for both teachers and students, encouraging passion and confidence when using foreign languages" - Ms. Huong shared.
For Luong The Vinh Secondary & High School, the new requirements in the education program are also included by the school in the preparation plan for the 2026-2027 school year.
In addition to the Ministry of Education and Training's program, the school continues to improve its own education program, focusing on knowledge and competence in basic subjects; and at the same time maintaining activities on life skills, culture, arts, physical education, sports and intellectual and emotional education.
One of the new contents that the school is focusing on preparing is the implementation of the project to make English the second language in schools and the AI competency framework for students. Teachers are trained to be able to implement these contents right from the beginning of the school year.
According to teacher Nguyen Quoc Binh, with new contents such as AI, emotional intelligence education or English, the school determines that the organization method plays an important role. Teachers and professional groups will choose teaching methods that are suitable for lesson requirements and age psychology, avoiding creating more stress for students.
In the 2026-2027 school year, the general goal of the school is to excellently complete the school year tasks; and at the same time improve management capacity, ensuring the education system operates stably, safely, disciplinedly and with quality. The school aims to comprehensively develop students' abilities and qualities, as a foundation for effectively implementing educational goals in the following years" - Mr. Binh shared.
