Lecturers of Vietnam - Korea - Quang Ngai College owed billions of dong
Dozens of lecturers at Vietnam - Korea - Quang Ngai College have been owed overtime teaching fees, allowances and even official salaries for many years. The total amount of debt is confirmed to be nearly 2.8 billion VND, mainly falling in the school years from 2015 to 2021. Despite having sent complaints and dialogues many times, the lecturer has not yet received a written response or specific payment plan from the school's leaders.
Principal Vo Dinh Ta said that the school has 117 officials and employees and must be completely financially independent from 2023. Due to lower enrollment than planned and a cumbersome apparatus, the school fell into a state of lack of revenue, unable to fully pay salaries, allowances and overtime teaching fees. As of July 2025, the school has only paid 50% of the June salary, while it still owes in July and other expenses.
Although physical lecturers are owed nearly 1 billion VND in overtime teaching fees, guest lecturers from other places are paid the full 285 million VND. According to Principal Vo Dinh Ta, the reason was that these people repeatedly called to collect debts and threatened to file lawsuits, so the school was forced to prioritize paying in advance. The school plans to pay the remaining debts in August 2025 and will streamline the apparatus to improve the financial situation. See more...
