The scandal of mobilizing socialism to plant trees worth 13 million VND, what does the principal explain?

TRẦN TUẤN |

Ha Tinh - After the buzz about the socialization movements of Nguyen Du Secondary School (Thanh Sen Ward), the Principal has explained.

In recent days, some Facebook social media accounts have shared a list of social mobilization funds for the 2025-2026 school year of Nguyen Du Secondary School with the view that it is unreasonable.

Many comments also analyzed that among those campaigns, there are state budget items that must be invested in education, not socialization to create a burden for parents.

Public opinion also raised the issue that the school's social mobilization to plant 10 trees in the school yard with Giang Huong trees costing each tree 13 million VND is unnecessary, why not plant other cheaper trees...

On the morning of October 24, Mr. Le Ngoc Anh - Principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School - confirmed that the school has issued a social mobilization plan for the 2025 - 2026 school year.

Accordingly, 6 categories were mobilized for socialization with a total amount of more than 808 million VND. Of which, for the planting of 10 Giang Huong trees, there is currently a sponsoring enterprise.

Choosing Giang Huong trees to plant because this tree has a wide canopy, is cool and more beautiful than many other trees.

Regarding the campaign to buy 99 sets of desks and chairs with a total amount of more than 123.7 million VND; mobilizing the installation of 9 more Samsung 65-inch 4K Smart TVs", the smart landslide for classrooms with a total amount of 243 million VND is an essential facility that needs to be invested with the state budget, why is it included in socialization? Mr. Anh said that in the past few years, the school has received a large investment from the state budget, so it will be difficult to continue to propose funding to invest in the above items.

In recent years, the school has invested in building a 3-storey school building with 15 classrooms with an investment capital of 13 billion VND; a 12-storey multi-purpose house with 12 billion VND, an 18-storey house with an investment capital of 18 billion VND, and added some tables and chairs with an investment capital of nearly 500 million VND.

"The mobilization to buy 99 sets of tables and chairs is due to this year's increase of 3 classes with 135 students and having to replace 20 old tables and chairs of grade 9 that are broken and cannot be repaired," said Principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School.

The social mobilization to install 9 Smart TVs Qled 4K Samsung 65, smart landslides for classrooms with a total amount of 243 million VND is explained by the fact that the 3-storey 15 school building has been put into use but does not have minimum equipment such as a board, Smart TV, mandatory slogan decoration...

The 2-storey multi-purpose house has been put into use but does not have exercise and teaching equipment, so we are mobilizing investment to buy exercise equipment for the amount of 187 million VND.

The principal of Nguyen Du Secondary School affirmed that the school mobilizes socialism in the voluntary spirit of organizations, individuals, businesses, philanthropists and parents, not at all, or at all, at least at all, at all levels of mobilization from parents.
