Collecting 15,000 VND/time for extra classes, former principal in Hanoi to be tried soon
On March 24, the People's Court of Region I - Hanoi will open a trial for the case related to collecting extra tuition fees at Ba Dinh Secondary School. According to the indictment of the People's Procuracy of Region 1 - Hanoi, in the 2013-2014 school year, the school collected extra tuition fees from students in grades 7, 8, 9 with a common level of 15,000 VND/time, total amount of more than 2.16 billion VND.
The prosecuting agency believes that the application of a common collection level has exceeded the framework regulations according to Decision 22/2013/QD-UBND of the city, leading to the collection amount exceeding 1.09 billion VND compared to the maximum allowed level. On that basis, former principal Nguyen Thi Binh and accountant Pham Thi Minh Nguyet were prosecuted for the crime of "Abusing positions and powers while performing official duties" under the Penal Code, with a penalty frame of 10-15 years in prison.
However, the case also received many different opinions from teachers and parents. Some parents and teachers said that the collection of extra tuition fees at that time was discussed, agreed publicly and there was consensus, no complaints. Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh's side said that the collection level of 15,000 VND/session was agreed to be convenient in practical classroom management, while the lawyer said that it was necessary to consider comprehensively because there were no signs of profiteering or budget damage.
