In recent days, a parent whose child studies at Ngu Binh Primary School posted her reflection on Hue-S (Center for monitoring and operating Smart Urban Areas of Thua Thien Hue Province) with the content: “My child studies at Ngu Binh School (Nguyen Khoa Chiem Street). Every month, I still pay the full and on-time fee; a daily meal for my child is 25,000 VND.
But when I went up and saw his food like this and added 1 bowl (PV) of soup, 1 very small carton of milk, not enough nutrition and very little food. I respectfully request the authorities to investigate". At the same time, this parent sent pictures of 2 meals.
On the morning of September 29, to obtain objective and multi-dimensional information related to the above issue, the reporter contacted Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Xuan - Principal of Ngu Binh Primary School - but has not received a response.
Also on the morning of September 29, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Truong Dinh Hanh - Vice Chairman of Hue City People's Committee - said that he had just received initial preliminary information.
According to Mr. Hanh, organizing meals for boarding students is an agreement between parents and the school. However, the People's Committee of Hue City requires all schools in the area that organize meals for boarding students to be public, post prices, menus, and ensure nutritional safety and food hygiene.
"We are asking the relevant parties to report the incident so that early next week (tomorrow, September 30) we will go and check and verify. If it is true, we will strictly handle it according to regulations. My point of view is that the organization of boarding meals must reach agreement between parents and schools. In particular, the nutrition and food safety and hygiene for students must be put first" - Vice Chairman of Hue City People's Committee said.
