To be specific, in Article 31 of the Regulations issued together with Circular 28/2020/TT-BGDDT regarding the conduct and attire of teachers and staff as per the regulations of the education sector and the law, attention should be paid to:

- Not distorting educational content, teaching incorrect knowledge.- Not committing fraud in testing and assessment, intentionally giving false evaluations of students' educational outcomes.- Not coercing students into extra classes for material purposes.- Not skipping classes or lessons, arbitrarily cutting educational content.- Not insulting the dignity and honor, infringing upon the physical integrity of others; not smoking; drinking alcohol, beer; causing security and order disturbances.

Simultaneously, this Circular changes the provisions of the elementary school regulations in Clause 5, Article 38 of Circular 41/2010/TT-BGDDT, where the action of "using mobile phones during classroom teaching" was one of the actions teachers were forbidden to do.

Thus, this Circular completely abolishes the regulation prohibiting teachers from using phones during teaching in elementary school regulations from October 20, 2020.

Additionally, elementary school teachers who violate the regulations in this Charter will be dealt with according to the law.

For details, see Circular 28/2020/TT-BGDDT, effective October 20, 2020.
