Teaching 2 sessions/day: Minister Nguyen Kim Son spoke out about the budget problem

From the 2025-2026 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training will implement teaching 2 sessions/day. Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that there will be a specific fund mobilization mechanism for the implementation to be highly effective.

Scientific and flexible program allocation

According to the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training, teaching 2 sessions/day is clearly delineated into session 1 and session 2. Session 1 is the time spent on the implementation of the formal general education program, including compulsory and elective subjects. This is the core knowledge base, ensuring that students master the content according to regulations.

Session 2 will focus on complementary education activities, capacity development and comprehensive fostering for students. Specifically, this session will organize classes to foster good students, tutoring for weak students, and especially life skills education programs, financial education, arts, physical fitness, STEM/STEAM, career guidance, artificial intelligence and foreign languages. This division helps optimize learning time, does not put excessive pressure and creates conditions for students to explore and develop their personal strengths.

With this method, the second lesson is not just a simple extra learning time but an extended educational space. Students have the opportunity to participate in clubs, practical projects, and a variety of extracurricular activities to develop critical thinking, teamwork skills, and creativity. This is an important premise for students not only to be good at knowledge but also to develop comprehensively physically, mentally and the skills necessary for modern life.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Education and Training encourages schools to be flexible in arranging timetables. Session 1 and Session 2 may not be fixed in the morning and afternoon, but are tailored to the conditions of each school and the needs of students.

Strengthening management and quality assurance

In order for the implementation to take place smoothly, Minister Nguyen Kim Son especially emphasized the renewal of management, strengthening inspection and supervision to ensure the implementation of the general education program is serious. At the same time, the management of extra teaching and learning will also be tightened to comply with regulations. Schools must publicize the plan, content, timetable and revenues and expenditures related to the second lesson so that parents can understand. This is to ensure transparency, help parents understand and agree with the school's policies.

Resources and financial mechanisms

Regarding funding, the Minister said that the state budget will play a leading role in ensuring the implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day. In addition, socialization resources will be mobilized in accordance with current regulations.

In the near future, the Ministry of Education and Training will coordinate with the Ministry of Finance and localities to develop specific mechanisms and policies on fund mobilization. This is an important step, thoroughly solving financial concerns, helping schools to be more proactive in implementing the program.

The implementation of teaching 2 sessions/day shows the determination of the education sector in innovating and improving quality. This is an important step, towards a comprehensive, modern education that meets the learning and development needs of future generations. In particular, synchronization between policies and resources will be the key to ensuring the success of this policy. Localities and schools will have a solid basis to invest in facilities, improve the capacity of teachers, and diversify educational activities, creating the best learning environment for students across the country.
