The discipline of defense and security education is to be taught continually during the school year from the 2007-08, under the instruction of the Hanoi Education-Training Department, in all secondary schools and further education centers throughout Hanoi city.

Earlier, defense and security education was only focused on two occasions: at the beginning of the academic year and the end of the first semester.

Depending on the relevant contents of the syllabus, teachers of history, citizenship education and military personnel are responsible for teaching the theory, according to the new regulation. The practice isorganized by Army officers and runs from September 2007 to February 2008, along with the general timetable set out by the Department.

The change aims to improve students’ knowledge of defense and security, in line with the Party’s line of an all-people’s national defense.
