Ministry of Education and Training announced draft revised curriculum for some subjects

Responding to the requirements of administrative unit rearrangement and implementing two-level local government

The 2018 General Education Program has been implemented for 5 years nationwide, implementing one round for all grades. The Ministry of Education and Training has organized a review and research to develop the General Education Program to find solutions to limit the program's shortcomings, making the program more suitable to reality.

Currently, the whole country has reorganized provincial-level administrative units according to Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15 dated June 12, 2025 of the National Assembly on reorganization of provincial-level administrative units and implemented Resolution No. 203 /2025/QH15 dated June 16, 2025 of the National Assembly on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

The change of administrative boundaries, the implementation of a two-level government and the amended Constitution directly affect the curriculum of four subjects: History and Geography from grades 4 to 9; Geography grade 12; History grade 10 and Civic Education ( Economic and Legal Education, grade 10), so it is necessary to revise the curriculum of these subjects.

The issuance of the Circular amending and supplementing the General Education Program issued together with Circular No. 32/2018/TT-BGD&DT of the Minister of Education and Training is necessary to ensure the scientific and practical nature of the program.

4 directions for revising and supplementing the General Education Program

The revision and supplementation of the General Education Program is carried out according to 4 orientations.

One is to minimize the need to revise textbooks when editing the program.

Second, edit content that is not scientifically accurate.

Third, revise the contents affected by changes in administrative boundaries, implementation of two-level local government, and changes to the Constitution.

Fourth, for the program of a grade that needs to be revised, which leads to the revision of the textbooks of that grade, then revise all the limitations of the program in that grade.

Some content for comments and editing

The Draft Circular focuses on a number of contents, specifically:

For the Civic Education program: amend and supplement the 10th grade program on the topics "Political system of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam" and "Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam".

For History: revise and supplement the Selective Study Topic in Grade 10 - the topic of Vietnamese State and Law in History.

For the Geography subject in History and Geography: revise and supplement the curriculum in grades 4, 5, 8, 9 and Geography in grade 12, the main revisions are on socio-economic regions such as: regional boundaries; names and number of provinces and cities, area size, population of the region; economic development resources and the development and distribution of economic sectors in socio-economic regions; administrative maps; population maps, maps of sectors and economic regions in Vietnam.

For the History sub-subject in History and Geography: revise and supplement the program in grade 7: the issue of historical divergence in feudal China; in grade 9: the division of stages in the renovation process in Vietnam from 1986 to present.

Use the selected textbooks for teaching in the 2025 - 2026 school year

The issuance of the Circular amending and supplementing the General Education Program issued together with Circular No. 32/2018/TT-BGD&DT of the Minister of Education and Training ensures that the General Education Program updates content in accordance with changes, ensuring the scientific nature and practicality of social science subjects in the General Education Program.

The issuance of the circular amending and supplementing the General Education Program is the legal basis for considering and revising textbooks to suit reality.

In the 2025-2026 school year, general education institutions nationwide will use the selected textbooks for teaching. The Ministry of Education and Training will organize training and instruct teachers on the revised curriculum; direct the review and revision of textbooks for a number of classes in the above subjects to comply with the revised curriculum and will implement the revised textbooks from the 2026-2027 school year.
