Familiar topics about families, schools and traditions are integrated into lessons has helped enhance learners’ interest and keep them motivated. Learning periods/ day/ week are reduced in order to partly relieve stress during online learning, said Phan Thanh Chung, Principal of Nguyen Hien High School, Nha Trang City.
The Department of Education and Training has directed schools to well implement teaching schemes in adaptation to the pandemic. Hands-on training and career orientation activities should be organized in various forms during flag ceremonies, class meetings, extracurricular activities, hands-on learning, club activities, clubs of interest, competitions, workshops, field trips and so on.
Moreover, schools need to innovate teaching and evaluation methods towards building learner capacity; strengthen the inspection and supervision over hands-on training and career orientation activities inside or outside school from lesson planning to assessment activities. In the coming time, the department will boost propaganda and raise awareness of parents, school staff and the public of the meaning and importance of hands-on training and career orientation; promote the role of the Youth Union in coordinating and organizing hands-on training and career orientation activities, according to Vo Hoan Hai, Director of the Department of Education and Training.
