Suggestions for revised curriculum of some subjects

The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has just issued Official Letter No. 4480/BGDĐT-GDPT to the Departments of Education and Training (DOETs) regarding comments on the revised curriculum of a number of subjects. This revision is to meet the requirements of rearranging provincial-level administrative units and implementing two-level local government.

The 2018 General Education Program has been implemented for 5 years nationwide, just enough for one cycle 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.

At this time, the whole country has implemented the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units according to Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15 dated June 12, 2025 of the National Assembly on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units. The change of administrative boundaries and the implementation of a two-level government directly affects the curriculum of four subjects: History and Geography from grades 4 to 9; Geography grade 12; History grade 10 and Civic Education grade 10, so it is necessary to revise the curriculum of these subjects.

Therefore, the issuance of the Circular amending and supplementing the General Education Program issued together with Circular No. 32/2018/TT-BGDDT of the Minister of Education and Training is necessary, ensuring the scientific and practical nature of the program.

For Civic Education: amend and supplement the 10th grade curriculum in the topics of the Political System of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

For History: Revise and supplement the Selected Study Topic in Grade 10: Vietnamese State and Law in History.

For the Geography subject in History and Geography: Amend 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: amend and supplement the program in grade 7: periodization according to European History, in grade 9: periodization of the Renovation process in Vietnam from 1986 to present.

The Ministry of Education and Training requests that the Departments of Education and Training organize comments on the draft revised curriculum of the above subjects and send them to the Ministry of Education and Training before August 8.
