Article 7 of Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT stipulates the process for selecting the 1st-grade Vietnamese language textbooks used in primary schools as follows:

- Step 1: The Council develops a plan to organize the selection of textbooks for primary schools; and assigns tasks to Council members.

- Step 2: Organize the selection of textbooks at the professional teams

+ Based on the Council's plan and textbook selection criteria, the leader of the professional team develops a plan to organize the selection of textbooks for each subject, and reports to the leader before implementation;

+ Organize for all subject teachers of the primary school (including those on staff, contracted, seconded, guest lecturers, and cross-school teaching staff) to participate in selecting textbooks for their subjects;

+ No later than 20 days before the first meeting of the professional team, the leader of the team organizes for the subject teachers to study the textbooks of their subjects, draft reviews, and evaluate the textbooks according to selection criteria;

+ The team leader organizes meetings with the subject teachers to discuss and vote to select one (1) textbook for the subject.

If the subject has only one textbook approved by the Minister of Education and Training, the professional team selects the textbook according to the decision, without a vote.

The textbook selected must have the majority of votes from one-half (1/2) or more of the subject teachers.

If no textbook receives one-half (1/2) or more of the teachers' votes, the professional team must discuss and vote again; the textbook selected is the one with the most votes in the second round.

In both rounds, if there are two or more textbooks with an equal number of highest votes, the leader of the professional team decides on one of them.

Meetings of the professional team must be documented, including reviews and evaluations of textbooks by participating teachers, with signatures from the team leader and the recorder;

+ The team leader compiles results and creates a list of selected textbooks, signed by the team leader and the assigned compiler.

- Step 3: The Council meets, discusses, and evaluates the organization of textbook selection by the professional teams; verifies meeting minutes of the professional teams and evaluation forms as stipulated in Clause 2, Article 7 of Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT; compiles textbook selection results from the professional teams into a record, including comments on the selection process, the list of selected textbooks, signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Council.

- Step 4: The Council proposes to the leader the list of textbooks chosen by the professional teams according to Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT.

- Step 5: The primary school prepares a textbook selection dossier and sends it to the Department of Education and Training (for primary and lower secondary levels), and the Department of Education and Training (for upper secondary level).
