CÔNG SÁNG |

After the reflection of Lao Dong Newspaper, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province requested a review of all fees collected at the beginning of the school year, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulations.

On October 16, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Tran Phong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province said that he had requested localities to urgently review and inspect the collection of socialized fees at schools after the press's reflection.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Chairmen of communes, wards and special zones to be directly responsible for inspecting and reporting specifically on the collection situation at the beginning of the school year at educational institutions in the area, promptly correcting any violations, ensuring collection and expenditure in accordance with regulations, publicity and transparency.

On the same day, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dong Son Ward (Quang Tri Province) Doan Hong Quan said that he had just issued an Official Dispatch requesting to rectify the collection and expenditure in public educational institutions for the 2025-2026 school year after Lao Dong Newspaper reported on the situation of non-transparent collection and expenditure at some schools.

According to Chairman of Doan Hong Quan Ward People's Committee, in the past, basic education institutions have complied with regulations, publicized revenue and expenditure, and received support from parents. However, there is still a phenomenon of mobilizing and sponsoring in violation of the regulations of the Circular of the Ministry of Education and Training.

The Ward People's Committee requires schools to strictly follow the instructions of the Department of Education and Training and the ward's documents; ensure publicity and transparency of all revenue and expenditure according to the Circular of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Sponsorship must ensure the principles of voluntariness, publicity, transparency, no compulsory, no regulation of average funding levels, no minimum funding levels, no taking advantage of education funding to force contributions, and no considering funding mobilization as a condition for the provision of educational and training services.

School heads are fully responsible for all revenues, including the Parents' Representative Board, to avoid the situation of equalization when socializing education.

Notably, Dong Son Ward requested Thuan Duc Primary and Secondary School to immediately stop funding campaigns that were not in accordance with regulations according to Decision 966/QD-UBND dated October 7, 2025. The Ward People's Committee is committed to allocating a budget to invest in facilities and teaching equipment in 2026, ensuring fairness and transparency in education.

Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, many parents of Nam Ly Primary School No. 1 reported that they were required to sign the list of voluntary support contributions for the school, but the collection level was agreed upon at 312,000 VND/student, causing concerns about the voluntariness of the socialized collection. The school then inspected and discovered 12/28 classes of degrees.

Many parents of Thuan Duc Primary and Secondary School (Dong Son Ward, Quang Tri) are concerned about the facility support of 200,000 VND/student. This is a voluntary collection but is announced at a fixed date.

Both schools then stopped collecting and refunded the money to parents after Lao Dong Newspaper reported.
