Does the primary education program in Vietnam need to ensure inheritability and transferability among different levels and training qualifications?

Based on Article 8 of the Education Law 2019, the educational program is regulated as follows:

Educational programmes

1. Educational programmes shall reflect the goals of education; set the standards for knowledge, skills, requirements on quality and capacity of learners; scope and structure of educational contents; methods and forms of organizing educational activities; evaluation methods of educational outcomes for each subject of every grade and level or for each subject, module, specialization of every training qualification.

2. Educational programmes must ensure the scientific and practical characteristics; inheritability and transferability among different levels and different training qualifications; facilitate the classification of students and exchange between training qualifications, specializations and educational forms in the national educational system in order for localities and educational institutions to proactively implement suitable educational plans; satisfying the goal of gender equality and demands of international integration. Educational programmes are the basis of comprehensive education quality assurance.

3. Requirements on knowledge, skills and on dignity and capacity of learners defined in educational programmes must be concretized in textbooks used for general education, in syllabi and teaching materials used for vocational education and higher education. Textbooks, syllabi and teaching materials must meet the requirements on educational methods.

4. Preschool education and general education shall run year-based programmes; vocational education and higher education may run year-based, module-based, credit-based programmes or combined programmes.

Study results of subjects or credits/modules accumulated by learners after pursuing an educational programme are considered for transferable values for respective subjects or credits/modules of other educational programmes when learners change their educational specializations/professions, forms of studies, or follow higher educational levels or qualifications.

...

Thus, the primary education program must ensure inheritability and transferability among educational levels and training qualifications.

This contributes to facilitating streamlining and transitions among training degrees, disciplines, and forms of education within the national education system, allowing localities and educational institutions to actively deploy suitable educational plans; meeting the goals of gender equality and international integration.

What are the educational method orientations of the primary education program in Vietnam?

Based on Section 6 of the Appendix of the general education program issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the educational method orientations of the primary education program are as follows:

The subjects and educational activities in schools apply methods to actively engage students, where teachers play the role of organizers and guides for student activities, create a friendly learning environment and problem situations to encourage students to actively participate in learning activities, self-discover their abilities and aspirations, cultivate habits and self-learning abilities, and develop potential and accumulated knowledge and skills.

Student learning activities include problem-exploring activities, practice activities, and application activities (applying what has been learned to identify and solve real-life problems), realized with the support of teaching equipment, especially computer tools and automated digital systems.

These learning activities are organized inside and outside the school campus through various forms such as theoretical lessons; practices, experiments, games, role-playing, and research projects; participating in seminars, field trips, camps, reading books; group activities, and community service activities.

Depending on the goals and nature of the activity, students can be organized to work independently, work in groups, or work as a whole class but must ensure that each student is provided the opportunity to individually fulfill learning tasks and real-life experiences.
