Khanh Hoa education sector also requested not to organize excellent student exams at school, commune, ward, and special zone levels, unless necessary.
Contests, dossiers, books, and meetings that are duplicated, inadequate, and no longer suitable must also be reviewed.
This is a reasonable approach in reducing administrative pressure, combating formalism and may be an experience for localities to study and refer to.
Not all meetings, contests or application requirements are unnecessary. The issue is to properly assess the purpose, effectiveness and eliminate overlapping, formalistic activities that do not create value for real teaching and learning, and need to boldly eliminate them.
Because, if the necessity and effectiveness of those tasks are not clearly identified, one hour of teachers sitting in meetings is one hour to prepare lessons, one set of supplementary application forms is time taken away from expertise, a contest organized just to achieve results is more pressure on students, parents and schools.
Digital transformation, application of digital technology and artificial intelligence are also identified as an important direction for education innovation in Khanh Hoa.
Digital transformation to reduce work for teachers, it is impossible for the same information to be entered by teachers on the system and then printed on paper, enclosed in notebooks, signed and stored just to complete an old process.
It's not digital transformation, it's putting papers on the screen.
If used correctly, AI can support teachers in finding materials, designing learning materials, building questions, analyzing learning data and personalizing part of teaching activities.
As a result, teachers have more time for the most important task, organizing a quality lesson.
However, AI cannot replace teachers to do something very humane, recognize students who are losing motivation, know which students need encouragement, and understand the circumstances behind a poor test.
Therefore, education reform begins with removing unnecessary things so that teachers can wholeheartedly focus on teaching students.
That is not to favor teachers, but to return teachers to their job.
Don't turn teachers into administrative staff wearing teacher uniforms, don't force them to run for achievements and call it quality.
