10. Summary of thesis results:

This study aims to understand the process of social integration education for juvenile offenders in reformatory schools. Through studying the educational content, educational methods, facilities, and coordination in education between reformatory schools, families, and society.

The research results show that: (1) Reformatory schools have spacious and clean facilities that basically meet the daily living needs of students. By living in groups, juvenile delinquents learn to be neat, tidy, patient, and tolerant of each other. (2) Reformatory schools equip students with knowledge of culture, civic education, life skills education, and vocational guidance. This has helped students have many advantages in integrating into the community. (3) The educational methods in reformatory schools are very diverse, suitable for each educational content. However, they are still heavily commanding. This has a negative impact on children's social integration. (4) Reformatory schools lack staff with specialized training in Social Work, so the work of integrating and assisting children is still limited. (5) The coordination between reform schools - families - society is not really good, this has created certain difficulties for children to reintegrate into society, this is also the reason leading to the recidivism of many children after leaving reform schools.

The findings of the study show that, in general, the work of social integration education for minors in reform schools has achieved certain achievements. Besides, some limitations still exist, which are the causes of recidivism of minors who violate the law.
