On October 3rd, speaking with Tien Phong newspaper , Mr. Vo Tien Si, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Dinh ward, Gia Lai province, stated that the local authorities had verified the information posted on social media regarding complaints that teachers at Binh Dinh No. 1 Primary School assigned excessive homework, putting pressure on students.
According to Mr. Si, this information appeared on social media on October 2nd. After becoming aware of it, the People's Committee of Binh Dinh Ward requested the Principal of Binh Dinh No. 1 Primary School to verify and clarify the content and report the results.
On the morning of October 3rd, the Board of Directors of Binh Dinh No. 1 Primary School met with the homeroom teacher mentioned in the complaint and the class's parent association.
Upon verification, no parents have complained about teachers assigning the amount of homework as described on social media. The school also checked the lesson plans and related content, and determined that the account posting the information was a fake account.
Previously, a Facebook account posted about the academic pressure their child faced at Binh Dinh No. 1 Primary School, and also named teacher QTMH - the class's homeroom teacher.
According to the post, in one night the children had to copy down lessons, homework assignments, and prepare for new lessons, totaling more than 10 A4 pages. The family also had to sit and strain their eyes guiding the children to complete this workload.
The poster argued that while teachers assigning homework is necessary for students, the amount should be reconsidered to avoid putting undue pressure on them.
