On April 22, the 24h Mobile Program broadcast on VTV1 TV channel had a report reflecting on the organization of extra teaching and learning contrary to the regulations in Circular 29/2024 in Hanoi.
According to the reflection, a cultural training center on Chua Lang Street (Dong Da District) is teaching nearly 500 extra students. Almost all of the students come from a nearby public secondary school.
Informing the press on the morning of April 24, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training (DET) said that as soon as it received the feedback, the Department requested the Dong Da District Department of Education and Training to coordinate with PA03 Department - City Police and related units to check the information.

The records of teachers teaching at the center lack 4 labor contracts; labor contracts do not fully include contents such as job position, working time...
