After the reflection of Lao Dong Newspaper, many parents of Nam Ly Primary School No. 1 (Dong Hoi Ward, Quang Tri) continued to send information about being required to sign a list of voluntary support contributions, but the amount of money was set at a minimum of 312,000 VND/student, causing many people to worry that they no longer have the right to choose to voluntarily.
