However, the implementation of 9 tasks and 5 solutions in the 2016 - 2017 school year also revealed some limitations such as: Network planning is slow to be implemented, there are many shortcomings; the shortage of schools and classes in industrial parks and export processing zones is still common; the situation of local surplus and shortage of teachers has not been resolved; the professional capacity of a part of teachers is still weak, teaching methods are slow to innovate; the management capacity of a part of school management staff is not guaranteed; the quality of high-quality human resources has not met the requirements of national development; the number of graduates who have not found jobs is still high...
Speaking at the Conference, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam requested the education sector to pay attention to all levels of education, focusing on preschool education to educate people and teach humanity to students. It is necessary to innovate and eliminate formal standards... Organizing emulation movements must be practical, not follow trends and lack effectiveness.

The implementation process must increase autonomy down to each subject and each teacher. The Ministry of Education and Training needs to remove rigid regulations, which mainly create negative rather than positive effects, and the Ministry must be the pioneer.
The Deputy Prime Minister also gave his opinion on the implementation of the new textbook program. To do this well, the Departments must give their opinions on the current situation in localities to build appropriate programs. The implementation process must put quality first. First of all, it is necessary to transfer the spirit of innovation to each teacher, if teachers do not innovate, students will suffer many disadvantages.
Regarding the local surplus and shortage of teachers, the Ministry of Education and Training needs to soon discuss with the Ministry of Home Affairs to come up with a solution and needs to have a plan to train and convert teachers.

The Ministry of Education and Training also needs to have many innovations in "techniques" in implementing exams, especially in terms of exam questions. In the spirit of students, the Ministry of Education and Training needs to work with schools to consider whether to organize combined exams to avoid fatigue for students.
On this occasion, 18 Departments of Education and Training, including Nghe An Department of Education and Training, were awarded certificates of merit by the Ministry of Education and Training for their excellent completion of the criteria.
At the conference summarizing the 2016-2017 school year and deploying tasks for the 2017-2018 school year, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An Nguyen Thi Kim Chi shared experiences and solutions in searching for and training excellent national and international students. In the coming time, the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An will continue to direct teaching and learning to implement the new general education program; promote decentralization so that schools and localities can proactively build a practical school year program; review the school network, especially the network of key schools with Phan Boi Chau Specialized High School as the leader; strengthen training of managers and teachers to meet the requirements of educational innovation and the comprehensive general education program... |
