On April 13, Mr. Nguyen Huu Tho - Head of the Department of Education and Training of Minh Hoa district ( Quang Binh ) - said that this agency will request a review of the teaching process as well as review the responsibilities of teachers and school leaders at the primary level regarding 6th grade students who cannot read or write fluently.

Accordingly, the District Department of Education and Training will request the primary school to report the student's learning results from grades 1 to 5. After that, it will review the responsibilities of the related teachers as well as the leaders of the primary school.

Because if you can't read and write fluently in grade 6, you will have a "gap" in the previous grades. Especially in grades 3, 4, and 5 of elementary school.

The Standing Committee of Minh Hoa District Party Committee also met and requested to review the basic knowledge of students in all other schools in the district.

"We will investigate which teacher taught how, and what the principal and vice principal said about this matter," said Mr. Tho.

Regarding the immediate solution, Mr. Tho said the proposed plan is that every morning this child will still go to school as usual according to the 6th grade program. In the afternoon, the primary school teacher will come to Hong Hoa Secondary School to provide extra tutoring.

The sending of a primary school teacher for tutoring is to address the gap in basic literacy that this student is lacking.

"If this student fails the second semester test, he will have to stay in the same grade," Mr. Tho affirmed.

As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , when conducting a civics test for class 6B, Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Hoa, the subject teacher, saw the words "copy quickly to go home" at the end of a male student's test, so she called him up to ask why.

This student admitted that he copied his friend's paper without understanding its meaning. The friend who let him copy his paper replied that he wrote that sentence on purpose as a joke, not thinking that his friend would copy it into his test!

Afterwards, Ms. Hoa asked the male student to retake the test and discovered that he was very poor at reading and writing and could not understand the words, so he could not do the test. He could only write his full name.
