Manage online teaching well, including extra teaching and learning

Currently in Nghe An province, there are still tens of thousands of students in Vinh city, Hung Nguyen, Thai Hoa town, Quynh Luu, Nghi Loc... who are having to study in the form ofonlinebecause the epidemic has not been controlled in the area or new infections continue to appear in the community.

To ensure safe online teaching and learning, minimizing the risk of fire and explosion like some cases that have occurred previously in many localities across the country, the Department requires schools not to organize online classes or hours that last as long as in-person learning.

In addition, it is necessary to propagate and guide teachers and students on the skills of safely using electrical equipment, online teaching and learning equipment; how to handle unsafe electrical situations. At the same time, regularly coordinate, notify, and exchange timetables and daily and weekly learning results with families and parents of students. From there, there will be directions and strict management of the use of learning equipment and learning time for students.

During the teaching process, the Department also requires teachers to pay special attention to ensuring the health and psychology of students when using computers, phones, televisions and ensuring safety. Before and after each class, online class, homeroom teachers and subject teachers regularly remind students and parents to pay attention to electrical safety, electronic devices, remind students to fully charge the battery before studying online; do not let the situation happen while charging the battery, which can easily cause fire and explosion and is not safe.

Previously, through the Department's understanding, there were a number of teachers who organized online extra classes with abuse of content, teaching time, student participants, service fees, etc., leading to excessive extra classes that negatively affected the psychology and health of students.

To rectify the above situation, especially during the period of implementing teaching solutions to respond to the Covid-19 epidemic, the Department of Education and Training requires schools to continue to strengthen propaganda, dissemination and education to teachers, students and parents to strictly implement regulations on extra teaching and learning; by appropriate measures to manage teachers' online tutoring; promptly detect, handle and recommend handling according to authority of teachers who violate; publicize hotline phone numbers to receive feedback.

The Department of Education and Training will strengthen inspection, examination and strictly handle organizations and individuals who violate. If there is information about extra teaching and learning, parents can report it via hotline: 0979788769.

Regarding the complicated developments of the epidemic, the Department of Education and Training requires schools to grasp the developments of the situation.pandemicAt the local level, promptly detect as early as possible risks that can spread the disease in the unit to deploy timely response measures.
