Reasons why parents still buy textbooks even though Ho Chi Minh City lent them away for free
According to the plan to implement the policy of free textbooks (textbooks) of Ho Chi Minh City, in the 2026-2027 school year, the city will implement free textbooks according to the actual borrowing needs of parents and students. Educational institutions organize procurement, lend to students and recall books after the school year for continued use.
To prepare a source of books, schools are required to survey the borrowing needs of students and parents as a basis for organizing shopping.
However, the reality in recent days shows that many parents still have to buy textbooks themselves so that their children have books before the new school year.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Hoang (An Dong ward) said that his family really wanted to borrow books but did not know about the free policy before, so they proceeded to buy them.
If borrowing books is complete according to the needs of the education program, it will save so much cost, why shouldn't I borrow them. The school may have announced it, but I didn't pay attention. Now I've already gone to buy them, so I'll stop, but next school year I will register to borrow them" - he said. See more...
