(Baonghean)-The Department of Education and Training has just concluded an inspection of non-public preschools in Vinh City. This has revealed many violations, causing outrage among the public and many parents...

Currently, in Vinh city, there are 27 non-public kindergartens and more than 60 independent kindergartens. More and more non-public kindergartens are being invested in large scale and modernized, increasing the choices for parents during the new school year. However, besides the rapid growth in quantity, the quality of non-public kindergartens is still a matter of concern.

Through a recent inspection of the activities of non-public kindergartens, it was discovered that some preschools have not seriously implemented the daily routine of children and the preschool program prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training. For example, at BluSky Kindergarten, the organization of daily activities and children's playtime is still limited, the timetable, thematic plans, play corners, selection of corner games and activities, afternoon activities... are not in accordance with the instructions for implementing the prescribed program. At Phuong Dong Kindergarten, some groups of classes have not developed appropriate activity plans, the end-of-day assessment of children is still general, the quality of the motor development education topic is not clear, there is no room (area) for motor development education according to the instructions, the toys are not rich and not modern. The minimum teaching equipment is not sufficient according to the regulations.

Some preschools introduce children to English but have not been approved by the competent authority (Blusky Kindergarten; Phuong Dong Kindergarten); have allocated too much time for children to become familiar with English, affecting the implementation of the children's daily routine and the Ministry's preschool education program (Blusky Kindergarten), English teachers have not met the required quality standards (Phuong Dong Kindergarten). The whole city still has 25 groups of children that have not been licensed to operate, many of which are concentrated in the wards of Hung Dung, Cua Nam, Doi Cung...; some groups of classes have teachers who do not have preschool teacher qualifications, and the facilities are not adequate (An Linh Kindergarten).

Faced with the above reality, speaking with us, Mr. Thai Huy Vinh - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training said: The Department has promptly issued a document requesting non-public preschools to rectify the above shortcomings. Pay special attention to contents such as safety conditions, implementation of the preschool education program, revenue and expenditure for meals and meal quality for children, regimes and policies for teachers and staff according to the agreed contract... There are specific measures to prevent negative aspects and promptly handle cases of violations of regulations and rules, not ensuring safety for children.

At the same time, the Department also requested the Vinh City Department of Education and Training to step up propaganda work, promptly publicize on mass media the licensed non-public preschools, ensuring the quality of child care and education. For unlicensed non-public preschools in the area, the City Department of Education and Training must have specific measures so that parents know and choose schools and classes for their children. At the same time, propagate to people in residential areas and neighborhood groups to monitor and detect preschools that deliberately operate against regulations, do not ensure safety for children, and propose to local authorities to handle according to regulations. Strengthen coordination with the school's parents' association in inspecting and supervising the care, education and meal organization activities for children in preschools (especially specifically the quality of food origin, processing methods, etc.).

In addition to the shortcomings in the children's education program, at Blue Sky Academy Kindergarten (operating under the model of the first international school in Nghe An province, with the highest fees, averaging more than 5 million VND/month (tuition + meals), there is often food that is not fresh (frozen industrial chicken thighs); food preparation does not ensure nutrition for children (cooked from the day before and eaten the next day)...
