The remaining families were mostly indirectly affected, affecting their jobs and income...
In order to support families with school-age children affected by storms and floods to stabilize their studies soon, the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province has researched and developed a Proposal on tuition support policies for preschool children, primary school students, and continuing education students studying at educational institutions in the province for the 2024-2025 school year. Recently, the Provincial Party Committee has given opinions and agreed on the policy of issuing a number of mechanisms and policies to overcome damage, stabilize life, and restore production and business activities after storm No. 3 in the province. This includes a policy of exempting and reducing tuition fees for preschool children, primary school students, and continuing education students studying at educational institutions in the province for the 2024-2025 school year.
According to the Proposal, in the 9 months of the 2024-2025 school year, preschool children, primary school students, and continuing education students studying at educational institutions in the province will be supported with 100% of public tuition fees according to the provisions of Resolution No. 33/2024/NQ-HDND of the Provincial People's Council. Primary school students at private schools will be supported with the same tuition fees as private secondary school students. With this policy, nearly 244,000 students from nearly 165,000 households will receive support. The estimated support fund for the 2024-2025 school year is about 167 billion VND from the provincial budget.
