There are many conflicting opinions regarding this incident, because this is the first time there has been a request to discipline a tutor, including a transfer.
Ms. Nguyen Thi T is a teacher at Tran Phu Primary School, Ha Tinh City, who tutored 9 first graders at home. The incident was discovered and the leaders of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh City asked Ms. T to write a report.
The leaders of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh City asked Ms. T to write a report. Ms. T stated that 9 students were slow learners, so their parents asked her to tutor them.
On December 10, 2024, Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Nga - Head of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh City - requested the Principal of Tran Phu Primary School to establish a Disciplinary Council, organize a review, and take disciplinary action against violating officials in accordance with regulations; review the responsibilities of the head and individuals related to the violation of teacher Nguyen Thi T, and report the results to the City People's Committee.
In addition, the People's Committee of Ha Tinh city was requested to transfer Ms. T to a more difficult area and the Department of Education and Training to issue a document notifying the entire industry about the teacher's violation of regulations on extra teaching and learning.
Teacher T taught 9 students, so it is necessary to consider and investigate to understand the nature of the incident and the extent of the violation. If the teacher forced the students to take extra classes, it is clearly a violation of the regulations, but if the class was taught by the parents, then the level is less serious.
Is there any serious consequence for a first grade teacher teaching 9 students that requires a document requesting a transfer to such a difficult area? Regarding this opinion, Head of Department Tran Thi Thuy Nga said that the request for transfer is not a form of disciplinary action when Ms. T is disciplined for violating the law on extra teaching. The Department has not yet proposed a specific time for the transfer because it still has to balance the ratio of teachers, based on work needs, capacity, reputation, and wishes of teachers...
It is necessary to rectify the situation of tutoring, including disciplinary action against violators. However, each case needs to be considered, whether it is intentional violation or due to objective circumstances, to have an appropriate form of handling.
