The Government has just issued a Decree regulating tuition policy, tuition exemption and reduction, learning cost support and service prices in the field of education and training.

For higher education, the ceiling for schools that are not autonomous in regular expenditure is as follows:

University tuition

From the 2027-2028 school year onwards, the tuition fee ceiling will be adjusted in accordance with people's ability to pay and socio -economic conditions, but must not exceed the consumer price index growth rate at the time of determining the tuition fee compared to the same period last year as announced by the competent state agency.

For public universities that are self-sufficient in regular expenses, the tuition fee is determined to be a maximum of 2 times the above ceiling, corresponding to each major and each school year.

For universities that are self-sufficient in regular and investment expenses, the tuition fee is determined to be a maximum of 2.5 times the above ceiling, corresponding to each major and each school year.

For training programs at public schools that have been accredited according to the standards set by the Ministry of Education and Training or international standards or equivalent, the tuition fees will be determined based on the economic-technical norms or cost norms of each training industry and profession issued by the school. Schools must make this public to learners and society.

The tuition ceiling for master's training is equal to the tuition ceiling above multiplied by a coefficient of 1.5; for doctoral training, multiplied by 2.5.

Tuition fees for part-time and distance learning training are determined based on actual reasonable costs, with fees not exceeding 150% of the tuition fees for the corresponding regular training system.

In the case of online learning, schools determine tuition fees based on actual reasonable costs incurred, up to the maximum tuition fee of the school corresponding to each major.

Tuition fees for continuing education programs, short-term training and development services appropriate to the industry and training field are proactively calculated and regulated by schools.

For determining university tuition fees calculated by credits, the module calculates the formula below:

Tuition fee for credits and modules = Total tuition fee for the entire course / Total number of credits and modules for the entire course.

Thus, compared to Decree 97/2023, university tuition fees for 2025 - 2026 for all majors will increase.
