Nghe An teachers register to teach extra classes with a sudden increase

Tutoring must be legal.

At 7:00 a.m. on February 18, the Vinh City People's Committee's One-Stop Transaction Center had many people lining up to register and complete procedures. Among them, there were quite a few non-public teachers who came to register their business to organize extra classes outside of school.

Teacher Bui Thi Nguyet - Hung Loc ward (Vinh city) said: I have carefully studied Circular 29 and found that it is appropriate to register for tutoring and extra-curricular activities at home. This helps us to organize teaching and learning publicly in accordance with regulations and parents can also feel secure when sending their children to teachers.

Teacher Bui Thi Nguyet graduated from the College of Education, majoring in Painting. Due to personal circumstances, since graduating, she has not taught in public schools but has taught privately at home. In addition to teaching students about fine arts, she also tutors students in pre-primary classes, mainly in the form of tutoring. Because the subjects are quite special, sinceCircular 29issued, she researched very carefully to register her business in accordance with the regulations: When the new regulations came out, I was very worried because it prohibited tutoring for primary school students. However, according to the new guidelines, primary school students are still allowed to attend skills classes, so I think I am qualified to organize tutoring and learning at home - Ms. Nguyet added.

This morning, teacher Hoang Dang Son - a Math teacher in Quang Trung ward also went directly to the city's One-Stop Transaction Center to register his business: I have been teaching for 5 years at the center and am currently organizing extra tutoring for students at home. Although the scale is not large, I still registered to ensure compliance with regulations.

With the special nature of Mathematics, which is a compulsory subject in the 10th grade entrance exam, since after Tet until now, the temporary suspension of extra teaching has made many of Mr. Son's students extremely worried. In order to avoid "interruption" in students' studies, before registering his business, Mr. Son renovated the classroom, prepared other conditions for fire prevention, fire fighting, environmental sanitation... Mr. Son also said that after registering his business, teachers must be responsible for paying taxes and other regulations. However, this is appropriate to more closely manage extra teaching outside of school.

“

In Vinh city, there are many tutoring centers and many teachers who teach outside of school, and the income levels and sources of income of teachers are different. Therefore, in my opinion, the management of tutoring outside of school is appropriate and teachers must be responsible for fulfilling their obligations, including paying taxes.

Increase teacher accountability

Circular 29 stipulates quite strictly about extra teaching and learning in and out of school. Accordingly, teachers who are teaching at schools will not be allowed to teach extra classes outside of school for money from students that the teacher is assigned to teach by the school according to the school's education plan. In addition, teachers at public schools are not allowed to participate in the management and operation of extra teaching outside of school but can participate in extra teaching outside of school.

This new regulation has also had a significant impact on the current tutoring of many teachers. Through direct investigation at the City One-Stop Transaction Center on the morning of February 18, the number of teachers registering for business has increased dramatically, of which the majority are teachers in non-public schools. The number of teachers currently teaching in schools (if any) also asked their family members to register to ensure compliance with regulations.

A teacher who is teaching at a specialized school said: I have registered to do online tutoring. However, to comply with the law, the business registration certificate will be in the name of a family member. My tutoring subjects will also change and I will only teach students who I do not directly teach in class. Some of them are former students I am teaching at the school, and if they are in difficult circumstances, I will teach them for free.

Although there is no complete summary, currently in Vinh city there are hundreds of cases of teachers registering their business as business households. Currently, Vinh city only accepts registration documents on Tuesdays and Fridays every week, so there are times when registration is interrupted due to errors in the general system.

Ms. Dang Thi Lan Phuong - Finance - Planning Department of the City People's Committee, working directly at the one-stop department, said: Previously, we received about 70 household business registration applications (with many different industries) every day. However, these days, the number of applications has doubled. Many people coming to register their business at this time are teachers. Freelance teachers will directly register their business. The rest can be family members or other people.

According to the representative of the Department of Finance and Planning, before completing procedures at the One-Stop Transaction Center, the business registrant will submit an application for business household registration (Appendix III-1, issued with Circular No. 02/2023/TT - BKHĐT dated March 18, 2023 amending and supplementing a number of articles of Circular No. 01/2021/TT - BKHĐT dated March 16, 2021) and send it to the Department of Finance and Planning of Vinh City People's Committee.

When registering, individuals only need to bring an application and a citizen identification card (activated citizen identification card through the national public service portal). The business line according to regulations for tutoring and extra learning is "other education not classified elsewhere", code 8559. In addition to direct registration, individuals can also register their business through the national public service portal.
