Summary:

The general education curriculum 2018 has been officially implemented in grade 1 since September of the 2020-2021 school year. After nearly three months, the implementation of the curriculum has initially stabilized, but there are still some problems remaining. Therefore, it is necessary to study, evaluate, and find out real difficulties to make the necessary adjustment. The research results from 80,000 grade 1 teachers in 63 provinces throughout the country have shown the overall picture of currently implementing the new curriculum, from the teachers’ perception of the curriculum and textbooks to the teaching practices in the classroom. By finding out the existing problems, the article proposes a number of solutions to contribute to improving the efficiency of the new curriculum implementation.
