* Building facilities

Effectively applies and implements policies and regulations on the organization of extracurricular activities.

Pac Nam District Education and Training Department needs to base on the Government's regulations, instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Finance to coordinate with the Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Finance of the district to plan the use of funds to support the organization of Youth Union activities, must develop and promulgate policies expressed through legal documents of the State, widely announce to primary schools in the whole district to know and implement.

* Coordinate forces to organize the HĐTN

The forms of youth activities are very diverse: club activities, organizing games, forums, interactive stages, field trips, competitions, exchange activities, humanitarian activities, volunteer activities, community activities, collective activities, public service, drama, sports, organizing festivals, etc. To help students organize youth activities well, the participation of the community, especially parents, is extremely important.

The Department of Education and Training needs to direct schools to proactively propose and coordinate with local Party committees, authorities, departments and unions; local agencies, organizations, businesses, social activists, artisans, workers... to participate.

The training activities usually take place in an open space, with the participation of many educational forces, requiring a lot of time, effort and money, so the Department of Education and Training directs each school to build a reasonable and flexible timetable. The training activities can be arranged next to the group activities so that teachers have more time because in primary schools, the homeroom teacher is present in the class every day, the content of comments and assessments of the class situation can be done right after each lesson.

The Department of Education and Training directs school boards to delegate autonomy and encourage teachers to be flexible and creative in developing timetables.

The Department of Education and Training needs to clarify that extracurricular activities are not only the responsibility of the homeroom teacher, so the school needs to play a central role, orienting the organization, directing, operating, and assigning responsibilities to members of the school; proactively coordinating with other educational forces when organizing extracurricular activities for students.
