Faced with the requirements of this year's exam, the Director of the Department also hopes that teachers must constantly innovate and be creative in the teaching and learning process.
A good teacher does not teach profound things. Instead, it is important to make students love learning. If students do not love learning, the fault lies first with the teacher.
To do this, the Department's leaders also want teachers to teach to the target audience, teaching so that students can easily understand, approach and solve problems. This will also create passion and motivation for students to learn.
The head of the Department of Education and Training also requested that good teachers must be the professional leaders for the industry and the Department and promote the emulation movement of good teaching, good learning, building a friendly and cooperative learning environment in schools. At the same time, they must always strive to maintain the title of good teachers, striving to become exemplary teachers of the whole country.
