General Assessment of the Current Status of Management of Construction of National Standard Secondary Schools in Cam Pha City - Quang Ninh Province in the Period 2010-2015

So Cam Pha is a city with strong development in industry, seaports and tourism. In the period of 2010-2015, the average economic growth rate was 13.4%, the average income was 54.54 million VND/person/year. Along with economic development, Cam Pha also pays great attention to investing in building infrastructure for schools towards national standards. This is an extremely favorable condition to implement the goal and plan of building national standard schools in the period of 2010-2015.

Cam Pha has 11 ethnic groups, of which Kinh people account for 94.94%. The customs and practices of the ethnic groups also more or less affect the quality of education and the process of building schools that meet national standards.

2.4. General assessment of the current status of management of construction of National Standard Secondary Schools in Cam Pha City - Quang Ninh Province in the period 2010-2015

2.4.1. Management contents of construction of National standard secondary school in Cam Pha - Quang Ninh

2.4.1.1. Planning to build a school that meets national standards

According to the investigation contents in section 2.3 and the actual research at Cam Pha secondary schools, it shows that:

Most schools have made plans to build schools that meet national standards as a basis for the process of organizing, implementing, directing and evaluating. However, there are very few plans that are built in a long-term, scientific manner, with detailed assessments of the school's current situation compared to each criterion of each standard, so the plan

The planning lacks comprehensiveness and vision, leading to passivity in the work of building national standard schools.

In addition, some schools have plans to build national standard schools integrated into housing development plans, school year task implementation plans and school semester plans, leading to a lack of detail and sketchiness, and will encounter difficulties and confusion in implementing the plan.

The reality of planning to build a national standard secondary school in Cam Pha shows that: the plan must be scientific, detailed, specific, practical, feasible, with clear focus, clear action program and clear implementation roadmap. The plan must have vision, time, goals and broad coverage.

2.4.1.2. Organize and implement the school's plan to build a national standard school.

According to the investigation contents in section 2.3 and the actual research at Cam Pha secondary schools, it shows that:

The implementation of the plan to build national standard secondary schools has received attention from schools, however, the implementation in some schools is not detailed, not synchronous, not timely, still mechanical, and lacks flexibility and creativity.

Some schools have not yet established a steering committee to implement the plan to build national standard schools, which has affected the progress, quality, and effectiveness of the school's implementation of the plan to build national standard schools.

Regarding the form of implementing the plan to build national standard schools, there is not much diversity, mainly choosing the form of "concentrated listening to popularization" with little attention to the form of propaganda, so it has a significant impact on raising awareness, understanding the meaning and responsibility of building national standard schools of all staff, teachers, employees, students and people, thus making it difficult to achieve the goals of the plan.

Thus, the organization and implementation of the school's plan to build a national standard school must be carried out in a synchronous, flexible and creative manner. The forms of implementation must be diverse and rich. The principles must be ensured: the Party leads, the government manages, the people are the masters, and social forces participate within the framework of the law.

2.4.1.3. Directing the implementation of activities to build secondary schools that meet national standards

According to the investigation content in section 2.3 and actual interviews at Cam Pha secondary schools, it shows that:

Basically, the Principals of the schools have properly performed their role in directing the activities of building national standard schools, ensuring the principles of democratic centralism, collective leadership, and individual responsibility in the process of implementing the plan. At the same time, they have promptly cared for, encouraged, and motivated cadres, teachers, staff, and students to successfully complete the set goals; there has been a harmonious and appropriate regulation of the coordination relationship between departments, and the direction work has been carried out regularly and promptly.

However, in the direction work, there are still some issues that need to continue to be concerned, namely: the direction decisions need to be more specific and clear; the assignment of tasks needs to be regulated harmoniously so that it is more scientific, right person, right job.

In reality, the direction of the construction of a national standard secondary school in Cam Pha in the past time shows that when directing activities, it is necessary to ensure the principles of democratic centralism, collective leadership, and individual responsibility. At the same time, promptly pay attention to, encourage, and motivate cadres, teachers, staff, and students to successfully complete the set goals; there is a harmonious and appropriate regulation of the coordination relationship between departments. The direction decision needs to be specific and clear; assign tasks scientifically, to the right person, and to the right job.

2.4.1.4. Inspection and evaluation of the implementation of building national standard secondary schools

This is a regular task of the Principals in Cam Pha city, aiming to review and evaluate the activities of organizations and individuals in the school to see whether they are suitable for the goals and tasks of building a national standard school according to the set plan or not. The majority of Principals do a good job of building an inspection program, establishing inspection teams for each stage; analyzing and evaluating the achieved results and detecting shortcomings and inadequacies in the process of implementing the plan; clearly identifying the causes of the achieved results as well as the causes of the existing limitations to promptly draw lessons and make adjustments and supplements to the contents of the plan to achieve the goals of the set plan.

However, some principals have not conducted inspections regularly, mainly through listening to reports from mass organizations in the school, lacking rigor, and not issuing decisions to establish organizations.

The inspection does not clearly define the content and form of the inspection, so the inspection is still formal and ineffective.

Practical experience in this management content in Cam Pha in the recent period shows that: The Principal must check at each stage; analyze and evaluate the achieved results and detect shortcomings and inadequacies in the process of implementing the plan; clearly identify the causes to promptly draw lessons and make appropriate adjustments to the plan's objectives and timely supplements.

2.4.2. Management measures in building National standard secondary schools in Cam Pha City - Quang Ninh Province in the period 2010-2015

2.4.2.1. Organizing ideological education within the team on building a National Standard High School

Most principals carefully study the documents of the Party, the State, and the Ministry of Education and Training on building national standard schools. Principals must understand the documents and then organize dissemination and dissemination to all members of the school's Pedagogical Council so that they are imbued with the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's policies on education.

Thus, organizing ideological education in the team about building a national standard secondary school: The principal must understand the documents and then organize dissemination and dissemination to all members of the school's Pedagogical Council so that they are imbued with the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies on education, thereby clearly understanding the meaning and importance of building a national standard school, their role and responsibility to the younger generation.

2.4.2.2. Organize propaganda to raise awareness about building National Standard High Schools

Most of the Principals directed the propaganda work in the process of building national standard schools to create a change in awareness among local leaders, social organizations, people and cadres, teachers, students and parents to mobilize the combined strength focusing on the following contents: the purpose and meaning of the regulations on building national standard schools, plans and implementation steps of building national standard schools.

Practical experience from this content shows: Organizing propaganda to raise awareness among local leaders, social organizations, and all classes of people creates a change in awareness, thereby mobilizing combined strength in building national standard schools.

2.4.2.3. Do a good job of advising local authorities and the Department of Education and Training.

Most schools do a good job of advising local Party committees and authorities to issue specialized resolutions on building national standard schools in their areas, from which they submit to People's Councils at all levels to publicly announce plans for revenue and expenditure, construction and supervision.

The school advises the Department of Education and Training on the number of staff and the ratio of teachers needed by the school so that the department leaders can proactively consider and mobilize people. Propose and advise the Department of Education and Training on investing in facilities such as: purchasing teaching equipment and equipment for subject classrooms.

Reality in the past has shown that: Doing a good job of advising the Party committees and local authorities on favorable school land area, building school grounds, building the principal's office, building classrooms, etc. By doing a good job of advising the Department of Education and Training, the school has a team and facilities and equipment that meet the requirements of a standard school.

2.4.2.4. Organizing and directing the implementation of building schools that meet national standards

Most of the principals organized the implementation of the plan built according to the 5 standards of the Ministry of Education and Training on building national standard schools. Organized inspections and supervision of the construction of national standard schools according to the 5 standards and arranged scientific and complete records.

Through the actual organization and direction of the implementation of the construction of schools meeting national standards, it shows that: The principal organizes the implementation of the plan built according to the 5 standards of the Ministry of Education and Training on building national standard schools.

In summary : Through the process of learning about management experience in building national standard secondary schools in Cam Pha city - Quang Ninh province, the construction of national standard schools has had the following achievements, shortcomings and limitations:

* Achievements:

With the attention and direction of the Department of Education and Training of Quang Ninh, the City Party Committee - People's Council - People's Committee, the close coordination of the city's professional departments and the Party Committee - People's Council - People's Committee of wards and communes, by 2014, Cam Pha city had 83.6% of pharmaceutical schools recognized as meeting national standards, demonstrating the efforts of teachers and staff in the education sector, and also the scientific application of existing experience. From here, the quality of comprehensive education for students has achieved high efficiency, the program of school consolidation has been quickly implemented, and the conditions of facilities, equipment, and teaching staff have been improved. The work of socializing educational activities has achieved many achievements.

* Existences and limitations

Besides the outstanding achievements in the process of building national standard schools, there are still some shortcomings:

- The planning for building a network of schools is not timely, many schools do not have enough land area according to regulations, lack functional rooms and subject classrooms do not meet standards.

- The coordination between departments in planning and building infrastructure is not consistent in views .

- The team of teachers and staff still lacks a comprehensive plan for training teachers, leading to a situation where the teaching staff is both redundant and lacking, and has an unsynchronized structure.

- Although the content and methods of education have been innovated, they still show many limitations; there are still contents in the education program at all levels that are not practical, heavy on theory, light on practice, not linked to the practical requirements of society, and not suitable for the needs and learning abilities of all students.

- The quality of students in the area is uneven in terms of education level, many households are poor and have complicated family circumstances, so the attention to children's education is limited, they do not have the awareness to study; in addition, there are many students who are orphans of one parent, orphans of both parents... Therefore, it greatly affects the quality of students' education.

- Forecasting and planning for human resource development have not kept up with socio-economic development.

* Causes of the above situation

- Advantages : The guiding viewpoints of the Party committees from the provincial to local levels clearly recognize the role of education in the process of economic - cultural - social development, attaching importance to investment in education as a driving force for local development in the fastest and most sustainable way. All classes of people, parents and teachers clearly see the role of national standard schools. All schools are aware of the important role of standard schools in the process of implementing educational tasks.

- Opportunity : The policy of innovating teaching methods, programs, and contents of general education textbooks of the state. The policy of solidifying and modernizing schools, and the land area for building classrooms is being given top priority in the planning of developing the school network. The team of experts, principals, teachers, and employees are young, have professional capacity from standard to above standard, love and dedication to the profession.

- Difficulty : Expanding land for Trong Diem Secondary School and Quang Hanh Secondary School is very difficult because these are schools in the city center, around the school there is no agricultural land, it is all non-agricultural land, people build solid houses, to expand the school the compensation cost is very high.
