Hanoi (VNA) – Minister of Education and Training Phung Xuan Nha tookthe floor in the Q&A session of the 14th National Assembly’songoing sitting in Hanoi on June 6, answering lawmakers’ queries about issuesrelated to non-public kindergarten education.

Regarding recent negative phenomena in the preschool system, Nha admitted thatthis is a urgent matter causing public concerns.

Currently, there are 337,000 teachers working at 15,000 kindergartensnationwide. Most of the teachers love their jobs and children, but some casesof violence against children still occurred.

Theminister stressed that “unqualified teachers must be fired and any kindergartenwhere such scandals happen must be closed”.

Regular training and rational polices for the teachers should be put at thefirst line of the solutions, he said, noticing that the strenuous work with lowfinancial reward, only 2.4 million VND per month for new graduates, has beenattributed to the teachers’ intense pressure.

The Ministry of Education and Training has worked with the Ministry of HomeAffairs and relevant ministries to standardise and improve remuneration forpre-school teachers, he stressed.

Regarding questions raised by deputy Nguyen Thanh Hai from the Mekong Deltaprovince of Tien Giang on measures to ensure safety at kindergartens,especially in industrial and processing zones, Nha said that his ministry willrecommend the Government to promulgate policies, and make amendments topre-school education to ensure good care for children at private kindergartens.

Relevant ministries, organisations like the Vietnam Women’s Union and theVietnam Fatherland Front, and localities should enhance supervision at privateschools to build a friendly environment in which children do not face violenceand abuse, he said, adding that kindergarten facilities and the number ofquality teachers should be imrpoved.

On this issue, Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan stressed“the responsibility is of the whole socio-political system, not only theMinistry of Education and Training”.-VNA
