However, to be more rigorous and specific, delegates suggested that the Draft Decision of the Provincial People's Committee promulgating regulations on extra teaching and learning in the province should have clearer regulations on the management of extra teaching and learning outside of school; responsibilities of principals, relevant levels and sectors; conditions of facilities to ensure the organization of extra teaching; financial allocation and management mechanisms, etc. The opinions of the delegates were all recorded and specifically answered by Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training Vo Thi Minh Duyen at the conference.
