On October 11, Chairman of the People's Committee of Minh Hoa district (Quang Binh province) Nguyen Bac Viet said that he had just established a disciplinary council for Ms. Dinh Thi Bui Chung, Principal of Kindergarten No. 1, Quy Dat town.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Minh Hoa district informed that before establishing the disciplinary council, the district had organized a review session for Ms. Chung.
The district inspectorate also concluded its inspection of the activities of Quy Dat Town Kindergarten No. 1. The delegation determined that the school was sponsored with 19 lockers to store personal belongings for students.
The school established a group to receive sponsorship. But it was the school that received the sponsorship, not the group.
In the handover minutes of these cabinets, there is an inconsistency between the cabinet sponsors. When recording the executive committee of the parents' association of each class, another section records the cabinet sponsor as the school's parent association representative board.
At the same time, the school leaders were also found to have committed many financial violations. Typically, spending more than the prescribed amount; spending on entertaining guests but without having a working record beforehand.
Collecting labor fees of 20,000 VND per child/month, while the regulation only allows collecting 14,000 VND. The district inspection team has proposed disciplinary action against Ms. Chung and requested the refund of the wrongful income and expenses.
As Lao Dong reported, social media has been abuzz about a video recording the scene where the Principal of Quy Dat Town Kindergarten No. 1 pointed at the Chairman of the Parents' Association, preventing him from talking about the irregularities in the process of the school socializing the purchase of lockers for the classes. The video was filmed during the year-end ceremony at Quy Dat Town Kindergarten No. 1 (Minh Hoa District, Quang Binh Province).
According to the video clip, when Ms. Lien - President of the Parents' Association was invited to speak on stage, she asked permission from all parents to explain the incident related to the school.
The school asked for socialization from the parents' association fund to buy 22 plywood lockers for the classes, each locker costs 6 million VND. This funding source was mobilized from the parents' association fund.
Many parents disagreed because they thought the price given by the principal was less than 6 million VND, and also advised using other materials to avoid damage.
While the President of the Parents' Association was presenting, Ms. Dinh Thi Bui Chung - the school's Principal - stood up and held the microphone, preventing Ms. Lien from continuing to speak.
Also in this video, another person stood up and commented (believed to be the Vice Principal of the school) that the President had asked for permission so he was allowed to speak. Ms. Chung then snatched the microphone from this person's hand.
The incident took place in front of dozens of parents and students of the school.
