What are details of the process of selecting textbooks in Educational Institutions in Vietnam?

Step 1: The Council develops the plan to organize the selection of textbooks for the educational institution; assigns tasks to each member of the Council.

Step 2: Organize the selection of textbooks in professional groups

- Based on the plan of the Council and the criteria for selecting textbooks, the head of the professional group develops the plan to organize the selection of textbooks for each subject within the professional group, and reports to the head of the institution before implementation;

- Organize for all subject teachers at the educational institution (including regular, contract, deputized, part-time, inter-school teachers) to participate in selecting textbooks for that subject;

- No later than 20 days before the first meeting of the professional group, the head of the professional group organizes for subject teachers to study the textbooks of the subject, write review and evaluation forms for the subject textbooks according to the criteria for selecting textbooks;

- The head of the professional group organizes a meeting with subject teachers to discuss, vote, and select 01 (one) textbook for that subject. In cases where the subject has only 01 textbook approved by the Minister of Education and Training, the professional group selects that textbook without voting.

The selected textbook must have more than 1/2 (half) of the subject teachers voting in favor.

If no textbook receives more than 1/2 (half) of the subject teachers' votes, the professional group must re-discuss and re-vote; the selected textbook is the one with the highest number of subject teachers voting for it in the second vote.

In both (2) voting rounds, if there are two (2) textbooks with the same highest number of votes, the head of the professional group decides on one of the textbooks with the highest number of votes from subject teachers.

Meeting minutes of the professional group must record all comments, evaluations of the textbooks by participating subject teachers, and be signed by the head of the professional group and the minute-taker;

- The head of the professional group summarizes the results, prepares a list of textbooks selected by the professional group with signatures from the head of the professional group and the assigned book list preparer.

Step 3: The Council meets to discuss, evaluate the organization of textbook selection by the professional groups; appraises the minutes of the professional group's meetings; reviews the review and evaluation forms of the teachers; summarizes the results of the textbook selection by the professional groups into minutes (including remarks, evaluations on the organization of textbook selection by professional groups; the list of textbooks selected by professional groups), and the minutes are signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Council.

Step 4: The Council proposes the list of textbooks selected by the professional groups following the regulations to the head of the institution.
