(Baonghean.vn) - The incident of teacher Nguyen Thi Le Hang, a teacher at Nguyen Sy Sach High School - Thanh Chuong, being 'accused' by students on Facebook of 'stealing ideas' while being a supervisor at the 2016-2017 provincial excellent student competition is receiving public attention.

Regarding this issue, Nghe An Newspaper reporters recorded the opinions of a number of teachers, parents and people currently working in the education sector...

My whole class took the provincial English exam. After the exam, we sat together and talked about what happened in the exam room. After listening to the students in exam room 26 recount the incident above, and verifying the information from other sources that the incident was true, as the class monitor, I felt it was my responsibility to speak up. My main purpose in posting the information on my personal Facebook was to be fair to all the candidates. I know I will get into trouble, but up to now, I feel I was not wrong. If I had to choose again, I would still say the same thing.

Ms. Luu Thi Huyen - Ha Huy Tap Ward(Teacher and parent of ASEAN Youth Leader 2015 – Nguyen Luu Canh Hao): "Don't put pressure on your children"

As someone working in the education sector, I see that fairness towards students has become a professional ethic and needs to be put first, especially for students. In the eyes of students, they are still innocent, if we are fair, it will give students confidence in life. And so, professionals need to pay attention, must consider that as the quality of a teacher. Because teachers are both judges and lawyers.

I myself also see that, with an excellent student exam, failing does not mean failure. We should not consider it as pressure. Let's see it as an experience, a playground for the children, like sports. Form may be temporary but class is forever.

Even my own child has failed many times. But I still tell him: failure means success. It is when we do not get what we want that we seriously look back at ourselves to learn lessons. In fact, thousands of words from parents are not equal to one failure of the children. Overcoming those difficulties means that the children have shown their abilities and will become more mature.

I also see that nowadays, parents and teachers put pressure on students through exam results. If students are allowed to create pressure themselves, they will try their best. But if pressure is imposed, sometimes the effect is the opposite...

Meritorious teacher Pham Huy Duc - former Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training: "The supervisor failed to maintain the ethics of the teaching profession"

On the evening of March 14, as soon as I read the information that Le Phuong Anh reported, my first feeling was very sad. I remember in 2000, when I was still working in the education sector, Mr. Le Van Phot (at that time, Director of the Department of Education and Training) still told us: There are many exams and negativity is inevitable. But for the excellent student exam and the excellent teacher exam, we must try to make it "clean". Currently, through the above incident, I see two problems: First, the teacher did not maintain the ethical qualities of a teacher. Moreover, the teacher's ability is also problematic because an English teacher has to go and look at the students' English exam, which is not okay.

Here, I think the pressure on teachers is not right, because no one requires teachers to have a certain number of excellent students, a certain number of students passing university entrance exams. However, the disease of achievement is clear, and this has been persistent and systematic. We focus too much on the issue of the number of excellent students, the rate of students graduating without paying attention to other issues, especially the actual quality of education.

I appreciate the courage and honesty of student Le Phuong Anh. Her actions deserve to be recognized and praised by the Education sector.

Mr. Thai Huy Vinh - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training: "The education sector needs to be straightforward."recognize"Examinations"

Personally, I agree with Le Phuong Anh's actions. The Education Department is also very grateful to her because through this incident, the education department has the opportunity to frankly acknowledge the shortcomings in the current examination process. This will also be a valuable experience, especially in the upcoming National High School Exam.

Regarding teacher Nguyen Thi Le Hang herself, we will verify further, but basically, the incident has been clarified. I think, for a young person with such an attitude towards her profession, if she does not stumble this time, she will stumble again. Fortunately, the incident only happened in the first 20 minutes, so the impact was not serious. The remaining invigilators were also very straightforward and responsible in handling the situation in exam room 26.
