The Government has just issued Decree 238/2025/ND-CP on tuition policy, tuition exemption, tuition support, learning costs and service prices in education and training (effective from September 3, 2025).
This decree stipulates that subjects eligible for a 50% tuition reduction include: students in vocational training institutions, higher education institutions whose father or mother has a work accident or a vocational disease and are entitled to regular allowances.
So children of workers who have work-related accidents will receive a 50% tuition reduction.
Lawyer Tran Phi Dai, Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association, said that according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 48 of the Consolidated Document of the Law on Labor Safety and Hygiene 2024, employees with reduced working capacity from 5% to 30% are entitled to a one-time allowance.
Clause 1, Article 49 of the Consolidated Document of the Law on Labor Safety and Hygiene 2024 stipulates the monthly allowance as follows: Employees with a reduced working capacity of 31% or more are entitled to a monthly allowance.
Thus, from the 2025-2026 school year, children of workers who have had work-related accidents and have reduced working capacity by 31% or more will receive a 50% tuition reduction.
