The Ministry of Education and Training acknowledges the proposal to adjust policies for ethnic minority students
The Ministry of Education and Training acknowledged the proposal of Ms. Be Nguyen Thuy Trang (HCMC) on expanding the policy of tuition exemption and support for ethnic minority students from disadvantaged families without a certificate of poor or near-poor household, because the current regulations only apply to these subjects.
Currently, the State has policies to support tuition fees and study costs for students from poor and near-poor households according to Decree 238/2025/ND-CP and Decision 66/2013/QD-TTg, and has preferential credit policies for students facing difficulties due to accidents, diseases, and natural disasters outside the poor and near-poor households.
The Ministry of Education and Training is committed to studying and coordinating with relevant ministries and branches to propose policies on tuition exemption and support for students from families facing difficulties but not belonging to poor or near-poor households, in accordance with socio-economic conditions and state budget capacity.
