After nearly 300 tons of diseased pork were smuggled into the market, Hanoi Department of Education and Training urgently directed
After the discovery of nearly 300 tons of diseased pork smuggled into the market, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training requested more than 2,900 schools in the area to review the entire food supply for semi-boarding meals. This move is to ensure food safety in schools, when a related business has supplied meat to some schools.
Schools are required to strictly check legal documents, food safety conditions, origin of raw materials, transportation procedures and supplier's compliance history. At the same time, they must strictly implement procedures such as three-step inspection, food sample storage, input control and resolutely refuse food of unknown origin or not guaranteed quality.
Before parents' concerns, some schools in Hanoi have spoken out affirming that they are not related to the source of diseased pork, and at the same time publicly announced the food supplier and control procedures. However, the specific list of schools that have used food sources from violating businesses has not yet been announced. See more...

Things you cannot ignore when choosing a school or major
Teaching linkages in schools, beware of distorting into business
Over the past time, many parents in Hanoi have reflected the situation that although tuition fees are exempted, tuition fees are still high due to linked teaching programs such as enhanced English, life skills, STEM... The reason is not in the need for extra classes but in the lack of transparency in the organization, easily creating a feeling of "voluntary but difficult to refuse", even causing psychological pressure and the risk of discrimination between participating and non-participating students.
A worrying issue is that transparency is not guaranteed when many parents are not fully provided with information about the content, costs, affiliates or program effectiveness. This makes many people question whether these activities are still purely educational or have signs of "commercialization" in schools. See more...
