On December 5, the Ministry of Education and Training requested competent authorities to investigate and handle organizations and individuals who have committed violations, distorted, and made negative and misleading comments about the content of the Ministry's Decision on approving textbooks for various subjects.

Previously, on December 1, 2023, the Minister of Education and Training issued Decision No. 4119/QD-BGDDT on approving textbooks for subjects and educational activities for grade 5 and Chinese textbooks for grades 3 and 4 used in general education institutions.

This is a normal activity, in accordance with the plan for evaluating and approving the list of textbooks for Foreign Language subjects in the 2018 General Education Program.

In 2022, along with English, the Ministry of Education and Training approved textbooks for Korean, Japanese, and French for grade 3 for use in general education institutions.

In 2023, the first batch of textbooks for grade 5 will be approved, including 10 English and other subject books along with Chinese for grades 3 and 4.

It is expected that in December 2023, textbooks for Korean, Japanese, French and Russian will continue to be approved.

After the Decision was issued, distorted information and negative and misleading comments about the content of the Decision appeared on social networks. This negatively affected the policy of innovating programs and textbooks, affected efforts to teach and learn Foreign Languages ​​in general schools and caused confusion in society.

The Ministry of Education and Training requests that competent authorities investigate and handle the above violations in accordance with the provisions of law.
