Checking teachers’ foreign language capability, and what’s next?
– The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has decided to verify the qualification of general school English teachers in a plan to ensure that the teaching staff can meet the required standards. However, it’s still unclear what will come after the verification.

– There are many tricks teachers can play to force students to their private tutoring classes, even though the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has prohibited teachers to give extra classes to primary school students.

... English teachers necessarily need to meet international standards?
VietNamNet Bridge – It’s very difficult for English teachers to meet the international standards, and it would be not easy for the Ministry of Education and Training to standardize the English teaching staff. Meanwhile, experts believe that meeting international standards should not be an imperative requirement.

Hong Hanh, an English teacher of the Cat Linh Primary School in Hanoi, has been recognized as meeting the B2 standard after following the 3-month intensive training course organized by the Hanoi Education and Training Department (HETD).
