Should be cautious in implementing the policy of granting teacher certificates

In Vietnam, education for a long time still followed the old view of the 19th century. Since 2013, we have had the state's orientation on comprehensive and fundamental education reform in the whole industry. The team is still the same, now moving to a new stage, so it is necessary to improve the professional capacity of teachers (GV) is an extremely difficult task, so there needs to be creative thinking based on valuable experiences of the whole industry.

The policy of granting free certificates or diplomas to teachers for lifelong use should be implemented cautiously. Lessons learned from the issuance of a series of 4 circulars (professional titles, rankings, and salary classifications for teachers) which were initially issued jointly by ministries, and later drafted and signed by the Ministry of Education and Training alone, caused a stir in public opinion and strong reactions throughout the industry.

Therefore, the proposal to issue teacher certificates still has some disagreements.

The policy may be correct, but the implementation of this issue is very difficult to achieve. Surely society and the whole industry will understand: the nature of this is the issuance of "sub-licenses". We all have painful experiences about the consequences of sub-licenses. Because it is valuable for life, we must "run" by all means to get it. From here, a race within the team will occur and public opinion will certainly stir up nationwide.

There are still many opinions that do not agree with the proposal to issue teacher certificates.

Teacher training is free, but is it really free? If tens of thousands of teachers have to implement this policy, how much will it cost? How much pressure will the generation of teachers with long experience in the profession be under when their years in the profession are approaching? We have teachers at public and private schools, what are the regulations when issuing certificates? Especially teachers who teach freely or do not meet the pedagogical requirements will be banned from teaching without being issued a certificate, to be equal. School management will have more work and more difficulties when we are struggling to replace new textbooks and train new teaching methods...

Not to mention, the law seems unstable and unsteady. In fact, teachers who have graduated from pedagogy and are teaching and receiving a salary from the state have the legal status of teachers and do not need to be licensed again. Now, due to the need to develop education and improve and strengthen the team, we must train and update professional capacity, which is correct. But that is a regular task of each school and each teacher, and only need to be confirmed to have completed the work with a certificate from the unit organizing the class, without needing a certificate issued by the state. This activity is simple in organization, but has practical effects and minimizes negativity.
