10. Summary of the thesis results:

This thesis focuses on researching and presenting the following basic results:

In Chapter 1 – an overview of the topic "The Issue of School Culture from the Perspective of Social Criticism in Journalism," the author focuses on addressing some general theories about school culture and social criticism in journalism today. Specifically, the research clarifies the concepts of "culture," "school culture," "criticism," and "social criticism." Based on this, it affirms that journalism plays a crucial role in conducting social criticism on all issues in society, including school culture, which is one of the issues affecting the quality of education and is of great concern to society.

Chapter two, based on scientific arguments linked to practical surveys, examines the content reflected in three newspapers: Vnexpress (online), Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper, and Vietnam Education (online) newspaper from September 2013 to June 2015. Through surveying the content, form, and methods of critique in articles from these three newspapers, the author found that the articles addressed issues of school culture that society is concerned about, such as: the school cultural environment, the behavior of different groups within the school, etiquette, conduct, and uniforms in the school environment. It can be seen that the critique involved all levels of society, and it can be affirmed that the critiques were systematically organized by the newspapers with many in-depth analyses, comments, and suggestions from scientists, journalists, and citizens.

Through surveys and analysis of real-world data, the author points out that the results of the critique of school culture and the language used in social critique in articles from three newspapers are appropriate for critique. However, there are still some limitations that the author has mentioned in the thesis.

In Chapter 3, pointing out the limitations in Chapter 2 will help the author confidently propose solutions to further enhance the effectiveness of critical analysis of school culture in the press, such as solutions related to people's awareness of the importance of social criticism, solutions related to policy mechanisms, and solutions related to the material conditions to further promote the role of social criticism in the press.

The greatest achievement for the thesis author – who holds a managerial role in an educational institution – is that these studies are truly meaningful, providing a foundation and premise for better implementation of issues related to school culture, which are always subject to media scrutiny and commentary.

11. Practical applications:

With this topic, the thesis has made a significant contribution to supplementing and developing the theoretical system of social critique in journalism today. It initially provides a methodological foundation for surveying a form of information in journalism. The research results, stemming from the theory and practice of the thesis, provide a reliable basis for newspaper editorial offices, reporters, and editors in general, and especially those writing for education and school culture, to refer to. Based on this, it helps them to have a deeper understanding of information dissemination, thereby making appropriate adjustments to leverage strengths and overcome limitations, thereby further enhancing the effectiveness of communication.

Furthermore, this thesis also has considerable reference value for school leaders in general, and for lecturers, trainees, and students majoring in journalism at universities, colleges, vocational schools, and journalism training centers.

12. Future research directions:

If circumstances permit, this thesis could also open up many avenues for further research on the issue of social critique: for example, social critique in the press regarding educational reform, and the ethical issues of students.
