What are the perspectives on developing the Vietnamese Language curricula?

Under Section II of the General Education Program for Literature issued together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the perspectives on developing the Vietnamese Language curricula are specified as follows:

- The Literature curriculum is developed on theoretical and practical foundations, updates on research achievements in education, psychology, and teaching methodology of Vietnamese literature; achievements in literature and linguistics research; achievements in Vietnamese literature across various periods; experiences in developing Vietnamese literature curricula, particularly from the early 21st century until now, and international trends in curriculum development in general, and the Literature curriculum in particular over recent years, especially from developed countries; societal practice, education, economic conditions, and Vietnamese cultural tradition, especially the diversity of students in terms of regions, conditions, and learning abilities.

- The Literature curriculum focuses on training communication skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) as a central theme throughout all three education levels to meet the program's capacity-oriented direction and ensure coherence and continuity across all grades and levels. Fundamental, foundational knowledge about the Vietnamese language and literature is formed through activities in comprehending and creating texts; directly serving the requirement of training in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

- The Literature curriculum is developed with an open approach, reflected in not specifying detailed teaching content but stipulating the outcomes needed in reading, writing, speaking, and listening for each grade; delineating some basic, core knowledge about the Vietnamese language, literature, and some texts with a significant, crucial position in national literature as mandatory content for students nationwide.

- The Literature curriculum meets both the innovation requirements and emphasizes inheriting and enhancing the strengths of existing Vietnamese literature curricula, especially the current one.
