SOGIE-related school violence covers sexuality and gender-identity/ expression-related bullying and other violent acts and threats, occurring in and around educational contexts. These may result in physical, verbal, sexual, psychosocial or technology-related harm to children. It is based on gender and sexuality stereotypes, particularly roles and norms expected of children because of the privileging of heterosexual norms and gender roles in society. The study on SOGIE-related school violence in secondary schools of Viet Nam revealed some important findings on the level of SOGIE-related violence that LGBT students experienced in schools, their perception of school safety, as well as their responses to this form of school violence. Based on the evidence collected from the study results, several recommendations were proposed, including those for policy makers, curriculum developers, and schools, to prevent SOGIE-related school violence and build a safe, healthy school environment for all learners.

The purpose of this study is to test the correct perceptions of parents on the influence of families on the formation and personality development of primary students in Vietnamese urban. This study uses a quantitative approach to data collection. The questionnaire was designed based on the Linkert scale that includes the awareness and evaluation of 136 parents of the students on the impact of family education on the personality of primary students in Vietnamese urban. The reliability of the scale was conducted on SPSS 20.0 software. The research results show that there are 5 contents and 5 family education methods that are commonly used by parents of students in urban areas of Vietnam where economic and social conditions are common. The parenting and educational level of the parents is relatively favorable. Most parents are aware of the importance of family education to the personality of primary students. The attention of parents plays an important role in the child’s personal development at the beginning of elementary school. With a traditional education background based on Confucian thought, Vietnamese families always give a lot of attention to their children. However, the fact shows that, in Vietnamese urban, the overdone care of parents negatively affects the personal development of children. The paper contributes to the literature on the role of family education in Vietnamese urban in the development of elementary school student character. In addition, the study also provides evidence to adjust the views of Vietnamese parents on the contents and methods of developing the personality of children, which is meant for reference for families, educators and researchers in similar contexts.

: The paper presents the lecturing staff professional development process of the Education Faculty in a multi-disciplinary university the Mekong Delta of Vietnam within the current educational reform context. The paper is based on a qualitative interpretive case study that explored the context of the faculty and the practices of professional development for the teaching staff to address new requirements in higher education. Two data collection methods were used: analysis of policy documents (e.g. national educational policies, Education Law 2018, Higher Education Law 2019, provincial documents, and faculty reports), and informal interviews with four educational managers. The findings provided insights into the faculty context and developmental strategy, and revealed an imbalance in the faculty’s lecturing staff development and practical requirements. The paper offers some suggestions for the faculty’s developmental strategy and lecturers’ professional development, particularly to enhance the qualifications of the teaching staff who are capable of enacting educational reforms successfully in their local contexts.
