Recently, the Ministry of Health proposed that the Government consider supporting 100% of tuition fees and living expenses for medical students like those in the Pedagogy sector, in the context of human resource shortage.
The Ministry of Health's proposal is similar to the support policy for teacher training students. According to Decree 116, from 2021, teacher training students will receive 100% state support for tuition fees and 3.63 million VND per month for living expenses. This funding comes from the budgets of localities, ministries, and branches, through the form of orders.
However, students must pay compensation if they do not work in the field for enough time (6-8 years), change to another field, drop out, do not complete the program or are forced to leave school.
