What is the process of selecting Grade 4 History and Geography textbooks by the professional team in Vietnam?

The process for selecting Grade 4 History and Geography textbooks in schools is determined based on Article 7 of Circular 27/2023/TT-BGDDT. To be specific:

- Based on the plan of the Council and the criteria for selecting textbooks, the professional team leader prepares a plan for organizing the selection of textbooks for each subject structured within the professional team, reporting to the head before implementation; organizes the participation of all subject teachers of the educational institution (including permanent, contract, seconded, invited, and multi-school teachers) in selecting textbooks for that subject;

- No later than 20 days before the first meeting of the professional team, the team leader organizes subject teachers to review the textbooks, write feedback, and evaluate the textbooks according to the selection criteria;

- The professional team leader organizes a meeting with subject teachers to discuss and vote to select one (1) textbook for that subject.

If a subject has only one textbook approved by the Minister of Education and Training, the professional team will choose the textbook in the decision without the need for voting.

The selected textbooks must be approved by at least half (1/2) of the subject teachers.

If no textbook receives votes from at least half (1/2) of the subject teachers, the professional team must discuss and vote again; the chosen textbook will be the one that receives the highest vote in the second round.

In both rounds of voting, if there are two (2) textbooks receiving the highest equal number of votes, the professional team leader will decide which one will be chosen.

All meetings of the professional team must be minuted, with detailed feedback and evaluations of the textbooks by the participating teachers, signed by the team leader and the person assigned to record the minutes;

- The professional team leader consolidates the results and prepares a list of selected textbooks signed by the team leader and the person assigned to prepare the list of textbooks.
