On December 19, a source from Lao Dong Newspaper said that the People's Committee of Kim Thuy Commune had issued a decision to discipline Mr. Do Van My, Principal and Ms. Do Thi Hong Hue, Vice Principal of Kim Thuy Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities.
This decision is more convincing than the previous administrative penalty of nearly 200 million VND issued by the People's Committee of Quang Tri province.
Administrative handling with fines is not in accordance with public schools and does not achieve the goal of deterrence and prevention.
According to the school's report, the budget is allocated according to the estimate, only enough to cover regular activities. So, asking the school to pay a fine of nearly 200 million VND is no different from " Fine on paper".
Even if the school is able to pay the fine, the fine in money will only stop at the machine procedure, the budget must be borne, and personal responsibility is still left unanswered.
Up to now, the decision to appoint the principal and deputy principal position is very correct. What society needs is food safety in schools, ensuring the health of students.
And, to ensure the quality of boarding meals and meals at boarding schools, it is necessary to handle the responsibility of principals rather than administrative sanctions.
Because the principal not only signs a contract with the catering unit, but must directly organize supervision and inspection, requiring strict compliance with food safety regulations, promptly detecting and preventing violations.
Principals of schools with boarding and daycare students are easily affected by material benefits from service providers. If there is a lack of courage and public ethics, the responsibility to protect students' health can be taken lightly.
frankly acknowledge that risk to determine the responsibility of the leader, instead of avoiding it by general sanctions.
Many recent food poisoning cases in schools show that it is not just a medical incident, but a warning bell about discipline and public ethics in the educational environment.
When students have to be hospitalized for school meals, the fault lies not only in the kitchen or the supplier, but first of all, it belongs to the person with the highest responsibility in the school.
The principal is responsible for all activities of the school, so that boarding and boarding meals are hygienic and safe.
Other principals look at the poisoning incident of Kim Thuy Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities to rectify meals activities in schools, while reconsidering their responsibilities.
To put it bluntly, the price to pay for unsafe school meals is the principal's chair.
