The Department of Education and Training of Binh Dinh province has requested educational institutions to strictly implement not to collect fees as prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training, such as: "Protecting school facilities, ensuring school security; supervising students' vehicles; cleaning classrooms and schools; rewarding school administrators, teachers and staff; purchasing machinery, equipment and learning materials for schools, classrooms or for school administrators, teachers and staff; supporting management, teaching and learning organization and educational activities; repairing, upgrading and constructing new school facilities" and making a commitment not to collect fees outside of regulations.
However, at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year, there was still a situation where the Parents' Representative Committee at educational institutions in the province mobilized money without ensuring the principle of voluntariness, causing negative impacts on the education and training sector.
According to the reflection of some parents, the Parents' Representative Board of Phu Cat High School No. 3 (Phu Cat District) mobilized to collect money to buy televisions for teaching; the Parents' Representative Board of Nguyen Huu Quang High School (Phu Cat District) mobilized to collect money to build a student parking lot, which is not in accordance with regulations.
"The principal of Phu Cat High School No. 3 and the principal of Nguyen Huu Quang High School must coordinate with the Parents' Representative Board to immediately correct the feedback and stop the illegal mobilization of voluntary principles," Mr. Dao Duc Tuan requested.
