It is proposed to clarify the coordination mechanism between schools - local authorities - functional agencies in student management, school security/safety, prevention of school violence, and child abuse.
In particular, this locality proposed to emphasize the task of school psychological counseling, life skills education, and support for students in difficult circumstances...
Ho Chi Minh City proposes to clarify the responsibility of primary schools in ensuring a safe, friendly, and suitable educational environment for the psychological and physiological characteristics of primary school students.
At the same time, this locality also proposed to clarify the responsibility of coordination between schools and local authorities in planning and developing the school network.
Similarly, Bac Ninh also proposed to clarify the responsibility of coordination between schools and local authorities in planning the school network and mobilizing students to attend classes.
Khanh Hoa province also proposed to clarify the content of "coordination in planning the scale and education network of the locality", clearly defining the responsibility of the school in this content.
This locality proposed to clarify the content of "determining the vision, mission, core values of the school" in the direction of having general guidelines or principles for schools to conveniently organize implementation.
Accepting the opinions of Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Ninh, and Khanh Hoa on network planning, the Ministry of Education and Training amends and supplements as follows: "Coordinate with relevant agencies, departments, and branches in providing practical information and data; reflecting the needs of learners; participating in contributing opinions and proposing plans to organize the school and class network and organize the implementation of the education network planning that has been approved by competent authorities, contributing to ensuring that the local education network is appropriate, effective, and develops sustainably".
Regarding the responsibility of primary schools, the Ministry of Education and Training said that the responsibility is the same as secondary and high school, both must ensure a safe and friendly educational environment, suitable to the psychological and physiological characteristics of students.
Proposal to supplement responsibility for student management and digital capacity development
Also contributing opinions on the tasks and powers of general schools, Dong Nai province said that some contents on quality assurance, publicity and accountability are similar in nature, and can be combined to avoid spreading out.
At the same time, this locality proposed to supplement the responsibility of coordination in student management, especially moral education, school safety, prevention of school violence and supplement the responsibility of organizing activities for children in the locality. Dong Nai province said that the 2018 education program has this activity, but many students are not allowed to participate because the locality often integrates it.
Meanwhile, Ha Tinh proposed to supplement content on developing digital capacity and skills to adapt to digital transformation for students.
