Teaching 2 sessions/day - an important step in reforming general education

Lê Thanh Phong |

From the 2025 - 2026 school year, all three levels of junior high and high school are applied to teach 2 sessions/day, parents no longer have to worry about their children's activities after school.

All those worries are placed on the shoulders of the school, the responsibility of teachers. Students go to school and are taught 2 sessions completely free of charge.

Parents are very excited when their children can go to school in two sessions, in a safe and healthy environment, but the common concern is what they learn. The answer is, for primary school, in addition to the main curriculum, students are trained in skills, access technology, practice sports, learn arts, learn about history, culture...

High school students are allowed to take additional subjects that they have not achieved, train excellent students and review for the final exam as prescribed in Circular 29. At this level, in addition to practicing life skills and working in groups, students get acquainted with scientific research. Schools can be flexible and creative to provide many other educational contents such as traffic laws and environmental protection laws.

Students are educated about traffic culture and nature protection, so that when they grow up, they are responsible citizens for the country, obey the law and contribute to building a civilized and progressive country.

With diverse and rich content, our children do not have to focus on extra classes and be passive like in previous years, but study proactively, develop talents and independent thinking. Parents and students will not only pay attention to high academic scores and ranking in their studies, but will also recognize comprehensive development.

An adult citizen not only has professional knowledge, but must know how to play sports and learn art, as General Secretary To Lam once said: "Children in grade 12 must at least know how to play an musical instrument". This is a profound message about aesthetic education, promoting the role of culture and art in social life.

However, to teach 2 sessions/day properly, it is necessary to ensure facilities and human resources. Currently, many localities still lack teachers, especially in arts, and if they want to invite artists from outside, they must have a budget.

Teachers who teach extra classes at school must be paid appropriately to be of good quality and long-lasting. Our ancestors taught that "only one can follow the truth".
