Current Status of Cooperation Between School, Family, and Society in Educating Children Through Student Activities

From the survey table shows:

- In secondary schools in Quang Yen town, environmental education activities through outdoor activities have not been regularly implemented by teachers and staff of the schools, of which only the activities: Organizing environmental sanitation sessions; Organizing students to collect waste, were assessed by 85% to 100% of teachers and staff of the schools as being regularly implemented, with the activity: Organizing students to plant trees around the school area, only 55% of opinions said that it was regularly implemented in schools. Also, 100% of opinions said that the schools have implemented these contents effectively. According to teachers, the reason these activities are organized regularly is because they are activities included in the school's activity plan, as required by the school.

- In addition to the above 3 activities, other activities such as: Organizing talks on environmental education; Organizing games on environmental education; Exhibitions of paintings, photos, documents, models on environment; Organizing writing, drawing, and performing arts competitions for students on environmental education topics... are not organized regularly by many teachers. The number of teachers who occasionally organize these activities is also not high (the highest is only 45%), although most of the teachers who have organized these activities have affirmed that when they organized these activities, they achieved high efficiency.

- In particular, two activities that can be organized to effectively educate students about the environment are: Organizing field trips for students and organizing environmental club activities, but no teachers use them. To find out the cause of this problem, we learned that currently in Quang Yen town secondary schools, no school has established an environmental club in the school, the funding source to organize field trips for teachers and students in schools is very limited, so it is difficult for teachers to implement environmental education through the above two forms.

The above reality shows that the organization of environmental education activities for students in secondary schools in Quang Yen town has not been really taken seriously, the number of activities organized is too small, the content of activities organized for students is still poor, teachers only pay attention to activities of a movement nature due to the requirements and plans set out by the school, but have not proactively organized activities that have the effect of raising students' awareness and understanding of environmental issues. Some activities considered strengths in environmental education for teachers are rarely organized, or even not organized; environmental education activities of teachers are only limited to the scope of the classroom and in the school, while the activities to help students penetrate reality to have specific understanding of the local environmental situation have not been organized by teachers. This once again affirms that environmental education through outdoor activities for students in secondary schools in Quang Yen town has not been promoted and has not become mandatory content in the school's comprehensive teaching and education program.

2.3.5. Current status of coordination between school, family and society in environmental education through extracurricular activities for students

In order for environmental education through student activities to be effective, the role of the combination between school, family and society is extremely necessary. To understand the current situation of this issue, the author has consulted the opinions of the subjects. The question is as follows: How do you rate the level of coordination between the school and forces inside and outside the school?

Table 2.13: Level of coordination between schools and forces in environmental education through voluntary activities

Educational forces	Level of coordination
	Good		Relative Good		Not good
	SL	%	SL	%	SL	%
1	Coordinate with the Parents Association Executive Committee of the school and class	34	85	6	15	0	0
2	Coordinate with students' families	25	62.5	10	25	5	12.5
3	Coordinate with the Communist Youth Union and Young Pioneer Teams at all levels	30	75	110	25	0	0

6	Cooperate with social organizations	14	35	16	40	10	25

The survey shows that school leaders are mainly interested in coordinating with the Parents' Association Executive Committee and the Youth Union and Pioneer organizations (85% and 75% respectively) as doing well, but lack coordination with other organizations.

Through the results of the investigation and direct exchange with the subjects, it is shown that: In reality, the cooperation with families and the Parents' Association is mainly only through conferences at the beginning of the school year and the end of the first semester and the year-end meeting. This cooperation is mainly to solve financial problems but has not yet propagated, brought the content of environmental education work through the Student Activities to parents and instructed them to implement this work at home, in the locality, has not organized seminars on diverse forms of cooperation, and has not fostered knowledge about environmental education for parents.

Coordination with other departments and organizations is assessed by the subjects as not doing well at a high level such as: Coordination with local authorities is assessed as good by 50% of opinions, coordination with social organizations is assessed as good by only 355 opinions, however, from 25% to 35% of opinions assess that schools have not done this work well. Through direct discussion, we found that: This coordination is only carried out when there are official documents directing

inter-sectoral activities on holidays during the year such as: Organizing environmental cleaning at the end of the lunar year before Tet holiday, on World Environment Day (June 5 every year). Coordination with experts from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to learn about the environment is only carried out in some schools in the town center. This coordination is also a common situation in the entire education sector, not just in secondary schools in Quang Yen town. Therefore, in the coming time, the Ministry of Education and Training and schools need to innovate the methods, forms and content of environmental education through extracurricular activities for high school students in general and secondary school students in particular to suit the reality in each locality.

2.4. Current status of environmental education management through non-academic activities in secondary schools in Quang Yen town, Quang Ninh province

To understand the current situation of environmental education management through student activities in schools, we conducted a survey of managers and teachers on the following specific aspects:

2.4.1. Current status of developing environmental education plans through non-academic activities in secondary schools in Quang Yen town

Table 2.14: Current status of planning environmental education work through non-academic activities in secondary schools in Quang Yen town

Types of plans	Reviews
	Well done		done yet Good		Don't do
	SL	%	SL	%	SL	%
1	Environmental Education Plan through HĐTN by topic	20	50	14	35	6	15
2	Environmental Education Plan through HĐTN for the whole school year	20	50	12	30	8	20
3	Environmental Education Plan through HĐTN for each semester	12	30	16	40	12	30
4	Environmental Education Plan through HĐTN for each month	10	25	12	30	18	45
5	Environmental Education Plan through HĐTN for each week	10	25	10	25	20	50

Through the survey of school administrators and teachers in the table above, it shows that: In general, schools have not done a good job of developing environmental education plans through active learning activities, specifically:

50% of the opinions assessed that schools have done well in: Environmental Education Plan through thematic activities and Environmental Education Plan through activities for the whole school year. However, there are still 15% to 20% of opinions that schools have not implemented these contents. With the plan for each semester and month, the implementation results are even lower, only 25% to 30% of opinions assessed that it was done well and 30% to 45% assessed that schools did not develop this plan, especially for the plan for each week, almost all schools did not do it (50%) and 25% of opinions said that it was not done well. Even through direct discussion, there are opinions that the development of environmental education plans through activities is just a formality and has not been implemented effectively.

The above results show that some secondary schools in Quang Yen town have proactively developed environmental education plans through outdoor activities for students throughout the school year, for thematic activities, while weekly and monthly plans have rarely been implemented, although in reality, environmental education plans through outdoor activities are mainly integrated into the work plan, in general, they are still sketchy, not specific, the measures and forms are not vivid enough, and the coordination mechanism is not focused on. This requires the managers of secondary schools in Quang Yen town in the coming time to have many measures to improve the work of developing educational plans in general and environmental education plans through outdoor activities for students in particular to meet the requirements of educational innovation in the current period.

2.4.2. Current status of organizing and implementing environmental education plans through youth work

Through the survey, we found that this is a weak link in the management of environmental education through the Youth Union in secondary schools in Quang Yen town in recent years. We can see clearly through the survey that we conducted with the management staff and teachers of the following schools:

Through table 2.15, it can be seen that: All the work contents are done well at a low level, only from 35% to 45% of opinions evaluate that schools do well in organizing the implementation of environmental education plans through student activities. Specifically, with the assignment of specific tasks to each department and individual; Creating favorable conditions for teachers to perform their tasks, only 45% of opinions of teachers and staff of schools evaluate that they do well and up to 47.5% to 50% of opinions say that they do not do well, even 5% to 7.5% of opinions evaluate that schools do not do this work in environmental education through student activities. Along with that is the content: There is a specific coordination mechanism between teachers and other departments and organizations; Regularly monitoring, urging, and reminding, up to 40% of opinions assessed that school managers did well, however, up to 15% of opinions said that school managers did not do it. Even with the content: Rewards,

Timely, fair and accurate handling, up to 30% of respondents said that school managers have never done this.

To learn more about this issue, through direct discussions with some teachers and staff of the schools, we received the answer: Maybe because the school's work is busy, the managers, in addition to managing general education in the school, also regularly participate in meetings of the locality, Department, and Department, so they have little time to direct, urge, and coordinate teachers and organizations in implementing the environmental education plan through student activities, so they do not have time to spend on emulation and reward work.

Thus, all the contents of the work of environmental education through the activities of the students have been organized and directed to be implemented, but the implementation is only at a low average level, not done well. Therefore, in the coming time, school managers need to spend more time, effort and intellectual and material resources on the work of organizing and implementing environmental education through the activities of the students in order to do a good job of general education management in secondary schools in Quang Yen town.
