Students are allowed to change Vietnamese 1 textbooks Educational Technology

Vietnam Education Publishing House will exchange the 2017 edition of Vietnamese 1 Educational Technology for students who have purchased the 2016 edition...

A first grade teacher in Thai Nguyen recently shared on social media that at the beginning of class, she had to compare the textbooks of the students in the class. Only then could she teach because the students were not using textbooks published in the same year.

The first grade textbooks published last year and this year have many differences.

In response to the above question from the teacher, Mr. Nguyen Van Tung, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Education Publishing House, answered the VOV electronic newspaper, affirming that the teacher's reflection is actually correct.

The reason for this situation, according to Mr. Tung, is that in April 2017, the Minister of Education and Training issued Decision No. 1338/QD-BGDDT dated April 19, 2017 to establish the National Council for Appraising Vietnamese Language Documents for Grade 1 in Educational Technology.

Based on the comments of the National Appraisal Council, the group of authors has adjusted some content, including some materials in the Vietnamese 1 Educational Technology student book.

Based on the Council's conclusion and the recommendations of the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences on the revised Vietnamese 1st Grade Educational Technology document after review, the Ministry of Education and Training has issued a document guiding the Departments of Education and Training to implement the teaching of Vietnamese 1st Grade Educational Technology in the 2017-2018 school year (CV No. 3877/BGDĐT dated August 22, 2017).

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Tung, since the conclusion of the appraisal council, the Vietnam Education Publishing House has directed the publishing unit to receive back the Vietnamese 1 Educational Technology textbooks printed in 2016 that are still kept at the publishing companies and agents to provide a uniform copy of the 2017 printed textbooks to localities to serve the 2017-2018 school year.

However, before the decision on the appraisal was made, there may have been some parents who had already bought books for their children. In this case, before the new school year 2017 - 2018, the Vietnam Education Publishing House also directed the publisher to change the 2017 printed book for the children. There may have been some parents who did not have the information to change the books or there may have been students who reused old books from the 2016 - 2017 school year.

Through the distribution network, the publishing unit of the Vietnam Education Publishing House will exchange the 2017 edition of Vietnamese 1 Educational Technology for students who have purchased the 2016 edition but have not been able to exchange the 2017 edition. This is to create conditions for all students to agree to use the 2017 edition./.
