The income and expenditure table of grade 1 of Hong Ha Primary School (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) has caused a stir in public opinion recently.
Accordingly, in Official Dispatch No. 5028 signed and issued by Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Duong Anh Duc on October 11, it is stated that: The Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee requests the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, People's Committees of districts and Thu Duc City to implement according to the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training in Official Dispatch No. 5459 dated October 2; based on functions and tasks to directeducational institutions in the area to strictly implement the collection in the field of education and training, ensuring compliance with current regulations.
Also according to this document, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee directed that there should be absolutely no overcharging at the beginning of the school year and during the implementation of educational activities. Information on fees collected at the beginning of the school year should be publicly posted and any violations should be strictly handled.
Recently, parents have been upset about illegal fees collected in many schools. In particular, public opinion has been stirred up about the income and expenditure table of the beginning-of-year class fund of class 1/2 of Hong Ha Primary School (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) amounting to more than 300 million VND. At the beginning of the school year, each parent of a student in this class contributed 10 million VND. Up to now, after deducting expenses, the class fund has a surplus of more than 50 million VND... The fact that parents contributed to the class fund with such an amount has created reactions about the income and expenditure at the beginning of the school year...
On September 29, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City issued Official Dispatch 5577 to rectify the collection and expenditure work at the beginning of the school year; mobilize funding for education and operating expenses of the parent-teacher association for the 2023-2024 school year to all schools.
On October 4, at a meeting with leaders of the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City and districts, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, requested the Department of Education to advise the People's Committees of districts and Thu Duc City to rectify and handle cases of illegal collection.
Mr. Hieu emphasized: "The Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City has provided guidance and training, so incorrect collection must be handled. In schools, the principal needs to clearly understand all collection matters from the parents' representative board, to discuss with the parents' representative board of the school, to ensure consensus among parents. If ignored or not closely directed, it is a big mistake of the school principal. Circular 16 was issued a long time ago, not new, the funding frameworks have been clearly regulated, so why do schools still focus on parents to collect and pour money into collecting, it is very offensive. Incorrect collection must be handled. It cannot be said that the principal does not know, but this is the fault of the head of the school".
