Tuoi Tre Online has just received questions from some parents with children studying in secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City: "Since December 2024, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council has decided to exempt tuition fees for secondary school students in the 2024-2025 school year. So when will we be refunded the tuition fees paid in the first months of the school year?"
Mr. Duong Tri Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said: "On December 27, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City issued a document on the implementation of Resolution No. 37/2024/NQ-HDND dated December 11, 2024 of the City People's Council (special policy to support tuition fees for public and non-public secondary school students and continuing education students in Ho Chi Minh City in the 2024-2025 school year)".
Accordingly, the subjects applying the special tuition support policy include:
Secondary school students and continuing secondary education students studying at public educational institutions in Ho Chi Minh City.
Secondary school students studying at non-public educational institutions in Ho Chi Minh City, excluding students studying at foreign-invested educational institutions.
The specific support level is divided into 2 groups of subjects as follows:
Group 1: Students studying at schools in Thu Duc City and districts: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan, Go Vap, Tan Binh, Tan Phu, Binh Tan, with a support level of 60,000 VND/student/month.
Group 2: Students studying at schools in the districts of Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon, Cu Chi, Nha Be and Can Gio, with a support level of 30,000 VND/student/month.
The document of the Department requires public educational institutions that have temporarily collected secondary school tuition fees to refund students according to the following 2 groups:
Group 1: 60,000 VND/student/month.
Group 2: 30,000 VND/student/month.
Refund period for students before January 31, 2025.
In addition, for students who have transferred schools, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training requires educational institutions to be responsible for paying tuition support to students according to regulations based on the number of months of actual study at school.
Particularly for non-public educational institutions, the Department requests that the unit review the number of students and provide one-time support according to the actual number of months of study at the end of the 2024-2025 school year.
Proposal to exempt tuition fees for all students at all levels
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training has just completed a draft requesting tuition exemption for students from the 2025-2026 school year.
Specifically, the draft resolution on specific policies to support tuition fees for preschool children, public and non-public high school students, and continuing high school students from the 2025-2026 school year.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that currently, public primary school students, 5-year-old preschool children and secondary school students in the city are exempt from tuition fees. Thus, only preschool children under 5 years old and high school students must pay tuition fees according to regulations.
The tuition exemption will be a meaningful and practical gift for all students in the city, creating a mark to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day.
