Initiative aimed at promoting reading among ethnic minorities in Vietnam

I. Objectives

- Develop a reading culture for ethnic minorities, particularly for youth and women.

- Enhance awareness and understanding of social life, law, science and technology to improve quality of life.

- Preserve and promote ethnic cultural identity by providing bilingual materials and educational books.

- Bridge the knowledge gap between ethnic minorities and more developed areas.

II. Beneficiaries

Ethnic minorities in highland, particularly challenging areas, focusing on:

- Students and youth: Those in need of knowledge for future development.

- Women: A team less exposed to education, needing increased awareness and life skills.

- The elderly: Those in need of simple materials to enhance awareness of social and health issues.

III. Content of Implementation Tasks

1. Build Community Bookshelves or Village Libraries

- Solicit book donations from organizations, individuals, and publishers to build bookshelves.

- Categorize books into teams:

+ General knowledge books (agriculture, livestock, basic health care, law).

+ Children's books (comics, fairy tales, life skills books).

+ Bilingual books (Vietnamese and ethnic languages) to facilitate access.

2. Collaborate with Local Authorities and Schools

- Organize monthly "Book Reading Festivals" including activities such as:

+ team read-aloud sessions for children.

+ Storytelling with illustrations to create interest.

+ Drawing and book reviewing contests to encourage creative thinking.

3. Develop a Volunteer Reading Force

- Recruit young volunteers from schools or social organizations.

- Train volunteers to guide reading, storytelling, and explain books clearly to the public.

4. Produce and Distribute Suitable Materials

- Compile and print bilingual materials to help people learn new knowledge while preserving their language.

- Distribute books with large print for the elderly or visually impaired.

5. Utilize Information Technology

- Create book reading and storytelling videos to post on YouTube or Facebook, allowing people to listen via mobile devices.

- Organize community radio sessions at fixed times for reading broadcasts.

IV. Projected Results

- Increase the reading rate within the community, especially among students and women.

- Approximately 60% of the community will develop a habit of reading or listening to stories.

- Equip women and youth with knowledge in health care, education, and scientific techniques applicable to daily life.

- Preserve ethnic languages and cultures through the use of bilingual books and traditional materials.

- Strengthen the connection between the community and social organizations, creating a sustainable reading promotion movement.

V. Practical Evidence

This initiative can draw lessons from the "Mobile Library" model in the highlands by the Room to Read organization and the "Books for Rural Areas" program by Mr. Nguyen Quang Thach, which have successfully delivered books to hundreds of thousands of children and women in difficult areas. These programs have demonstrated that developing a reading culture requires not only books but also community efforts and initiatives tailored to each locality.

What are the principles for selecting textbooks used in general education institutions in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Article 2 of Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT, the principles for selecting textbooks used in general education institutions in Vietnam are as follows:

- Textbooks shall be selected from the list approved by the Minister of Education and Training for stable use in educational institutions.

- Each grade selects one (01) textbook for each subject or educational activity (including elective topics if any) to be implemented in educational institutions (hereafter referred to as subjects).

- The selection of textbooks must ensure democratic, objective, public, and transparent processes for the benefit of students.

What is the process for selecting textbooks used in general education institutions in Vietnam?

According to Article 7 of Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT, the process for selecting textbooks used in general education institutions in Vietnam is as follows:

(1) The council develops a plan to organize the textbook selection and assign tasks to the council members.

(2) Organize textbook selection within professional teams

- Based on the council's plan and textbook selection criteria, the head of the professional team develops a plan to organize textbook selection for each subject included in the team's structure and reports to the head before implementation.

- Organize participation of all subject teachers (including full-time, contractual, seconded, and visiting teachers, and inter-school teachers) in selecting textbooks for the subject.

- No later than 20 days before the first meeting of the professional team, the head organizes for subject teachers to review textbooks, write evaluation forms, and assess textbooks based on selection criteria.

- The head of the professional team holds meetings with subject teachers to discuss and vote on selecting one (01) textbook for the subject. If only one textbook is approved by the Minister of Education and Training, the team selects that textbook without voting.

+ The selected textbook must be chosen by at least 1/2 (half) of the subject teachers. If no textbook receives 1/2 (half) of the votes, the team discusses and votes again; the chosen textbook in the second round is the one with the highest number of votes. If there are two textbooks with equal highest votes in both rounds, the head of the professional team decides on one.

+ Meetings must be officially recorded, including comments and evaluations of textbooks by participating teachers, with signatures from the head of the team and the recorder.

- The head of the professional team summarizes results and compiles a list of textbooks selected with the signatures of the head and the assigned compiler.

(3) The council meets to discuss, and evaluate the organization of textbook selection by various teams; reviews meeting records; and teacher evaluations; compiles a selection result document (including selection organization review and team's chosen textbooks), signed by the Chairman and the Secretary.

(4) The council proposes to the head a list of textbooks selected by professional teams.

(5) Educational institutions prepare a textbook selection dossier for submission to the Department of Education and Training (for primary and lower secondary levels) or the Department of Education and Training (for upper secondary level). The dossier includes:

- Decision establishing the council;

- Minutes of council meetings;

- List of textbooks selected by the institution.
