Can I teach primary school students English?

The Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

Clause 2, Article 1, Circular 29/2024/TT-BGDDT of the Ministry of Education and Training regulating extra teaching and learning (effective from February 14, 2025) stipulates the subjects of application as follows: This Circular applies to extra teachers, extra learners; organizations and individuals organizing extra teaching and learning and related organizations and individuals.

Article 4 of Circular 29/2024/TT-BGDDT of the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates the cases where extra teaching and tutoring are not allowed, and the following cases are not allowed to be organized:

1. No extra teaching is organized for primary school students, except in the following cases: training in arts, physical education, life skills training.

2. Teachers who are teaching at schools are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school with fees collected from students that the teacher is assigned to teach according to the school's education plan.

3. Teachers in public schools are not allowed to participate in managing and operating extra teaching outside of school, but can participate in extra teaching outside of school.

Thus, teaching English to students from grades 2 to 5 is not in accordance with the above regulations.
