The teaching plan of the GDDP content is built according to each topic in accordance with the teaching organization conditions of the school and the teaching plan of related subjects, creating convenience for students to connect and apply the knowledge they have learned with local practice.

To implement the content of GDDP, recently, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has issued and coordinated the issuance of a system of documents directing the implementation of instructions on compiling and appraising documents, instructions on organizing teaching and learning of GDDP documents, organizing the publication and distribution of documents, consulting, guiding, and urging the approval of GDDP documents.

Implementing the regulations and guiding documents of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Provincial People's Committee has proactively developed a plan to organize the compilation and appraisal of local education documents according to the roadmap for program and textbook innovation such as: organizing the development of local education content frameworks at all levels, compiling documents, teaching experiments, appraising and completing dossiers to request approval of local education documents.

At the end of the 2018 General Education Program implementation cycle, Ca Mau province has completed the compilation of the Local Education Content documents from grades 1 to 12, approved by the Ministry of Education and Training. However, the province has not yet printed the documents into books to serve teaching and learning. Teaching and learning of Local Education Content in the past at schools were mainly done in pdf files. When merging Ca Mau and Bac Lieu provinces, the Local Education documents will be edited to suit the new administrative boundaries; because the geographical location, area, natural conditions, economy, society... change, the cultural space, traditional history expands.

Students visited the relic site and were introduced to the history of the national liberation struggle of the people of Ca Mau at the Provincial Party Committee Base Relic Site in Xeo Duoc.

Dr. Le Hoang Du, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ca Mau, said: “In order to implement the directive of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Department will conduct a review to select the contents and topics in the local education documents of the two provinces: Bac Lieu and Ca Mau (old) that have been approved by the Ministry of Education and Training to organize teaching in the 2025-2026 school year in all educational institutions of Ca Mau province (new). The selection of teaching contents must be consistent with the characteristics of the province after the merger and the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program.

At the same time, the Department is advising the People's Committee to complete the Board of Compilation of Education Documents for all levels of education. Based on the issued sets of documents, the Department will develop content frameworks for all levels and classes of new administrative units, and adjust Education Documents to be consistent with the developed content framework and use them for teaching in the following school years.

With innovative, creative and practical methods, the content of Local Education has been and is being taught by schools, bringing practical results. This subject not only helps students access practical knowledge, linked to the locality where they live, but also creates connections with extensive knowledge about the history - culture, economy - society of the country, forming and nurturing love, pride and attachment to the homeland. Thereby, students are aware of their roles and responsibilities, ready to participate in protecting, preserving and promoting the cultural values, traditions and strengths of their homeland; applying the knowledge and skills they have learned to contribute to solving local problems; adapting to social life and career orientation. This is also a good solution to educate traditions and foster revolutionary ideals for young people right from when they are still in school.

In the 2025-2026 school year, localities will still use the GDDP documents approved by the Ministry of Education and Training, with appropriate additions and adjustments after the province's merger. The development of the GDDP document set according to the new administrative unit will be carried out under the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, and will be used from the 2026-2027 school year.
