The Hanoi People's Council passed a resolution to support boarding meals for primary school students from the 2025-2026 school year (excluding foreign-investededucational institutions).

The resolution stipulates the support levels including: For primary school students studying at educational institutions in mountainous communes and communes in the Red River delta, the support level is 30,000 VND/student/day (main meal support). For primary school students studying at educational institutions in the remaining areas of Hanoi , the support level is 20,000 VND/student/day (main meal support).

In case the parents and the school agree on a higher meal allowance than the State subsidy, the difference will be collected from the student (ensuring a minimum meal allowance of VND 30,000/student/day). The support period is in the 2025-2026 school year (based on the actual number of days of meals, not exceeding 9 months/school year).

The funding source is from the state budget according to decentralization, and in 2025, it will be guaranteed by the city budget.
