Nghe An Department of Education and Training rectifies the abuse of teaching organizations to take students on sightseeing tours.

In recent days in the province, some schools have planned to organize field trips.tourismfor students and received mixed opinions during the organization process.

Faced with this reality, today (February 17), the Department of Education and Training issued Document No. 305/SGD&DT-VP on rectifying educational institutions that take advantage of organizing teaching and learning activities outside of school to simultaneously take students on field trips. This document also clearly states that taking students on field trips may not ensure safety and affect students' learning.

To immediately end this situation, the Department of Education and Training requires schools to strictly prohibit taking advantage of organizing teaching and educational activities outside of school to collect illegal fees and simultaneously take students on sightseeing tours.

When organizing teaching and educational activities outside of school, units are required to develop specific teaching and learning plans that are appropriate in terms of content, required objectives of the program, duration and actual conditions of the school.

Mobilizing resources for organization must be done in accordance with regulations.
