Delegates warn of the risk of overcharging in the name of voluntary after tuition exemption
Tuition exemption is a humane policy, demonstrating the commitment of the Party and State in building a fair and sustainable education. However, delegate Trinh Thi Tu Anh is concerned that this policy could cause financial pressure, affect the quality of education, teachers' treatment regimes and increase non-transparent voluntary collection, causing parents to be upset and overshadow the good meaning of the policy.
To ensure effective implementation, the delegate proposed to increase budget expenditure on education in a clear, transparent manner and with a specific roadmap. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly control collections other than tuition fees, strictly prohibit voluntary overcharging and ensure publicity of all collection and expenditure activities of the school to facilitate parents' supervision.
Delegates Nguyen Thi Yen and Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son both emphasized the need to implement the tuition exemption policy drastically and promptly from the 2025-2026 school year. See more...

The student tries hard to review for the graduation exam, even when he sleeps, he dreams of solving the exam
Just a few days before the 2025 high school graduation exam, many students are in a state of stress and pressure due to the tight review schedule and expectations from their families and society. As the first exam under the 2018 General Education Program, candidates have to face a large amount of knowledge, long study time, insufficient sleep and a competitive mentality that makes many students exhausted and confused.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh - teacher at Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School, if not relieved, prolonged stress can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and even depression. Students need to develop a scientific study plan, take time to rest and relax appropriately. Methods such as deep breathing, listening to music, and gentle movement help reduce psychological pressure. At the same time, parents should pay full attention to their children, not just stop at the score.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hai Dang - Vice Principal of Hanoi University of Science and Technology emphasized the importance of long-term career orientation. He advised candidates to determine their personal wishes in the next 10-20 years to choose a major that suits their abilities and passions, thereby making sustainable decisions, instead of just following temporary trends or pressures.
