Minister Nguyen Kim Son presented a certificate of merit to the Da Nang police force.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son has just decided to award certificates of merit and direct relevant units under the Ministry to "reward" individuals and groups of the Da Nang City police force who have made outstanding achievements in dismantling a particularly large fake textbook production ring in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.

Previously, on June 14, Da Nang Police successfully discovered Project SGK-192, eliminating a large-scale ring specializing in the production and trading of fake textbooks in Da Nang city.

The police have identified and clarified that Le Duy Quang (42 years old) and Nguyen Van Anh (44 years old), both residing in An Hai Bac ward, Son Tra district (Da Nang), are the two leading suspects.

Continuing to expand the investigation in Ho Chi Minh City, the task force discovered and arrested other suspects in the above mentioned textbook production and trading ring, including Nguyen Trung Luat (43 years old, residing in District 12), Pham Ngoc Quang (47 years old, residing in Go Vap District), and Pham Thach Kim Dien (39 years old, residing in Binh Tan District).

The police seized 1 million stamps, 600,000 fake finished and semi-finished books, worth about 12 billion VND, all printers, cutting machines, staplers, sewing machines, gluing machines, cars, zinc plates, printing paper... At the same time, the suspects involved were temporarily detained for further investigation and strict handling according to the law.

During the investigation, Vietnam Education Publishing House and some member units actively cooperated with the police in confirming fake books, counting and classifying books.

Recognizing the outstanding achievements of Da Nang Police, Chairman of Da Nang People's Committee Le Trung Chinh came to congratulate and reward the city police.

Representatives of the leadership of Vietnam Education Publishing House and its member units also came to award the Department of Police Investigation of Crimes on Corruption, Economy, Smuggling and Environment (PC03) - Da Nang City Police for this achievement.

According to Vietnam Education Publishing House, in 2024, in many provinces/cities such as Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Soc Trang, Ca Mau, Lam Dong, Quang Ngai, Vung Tau... functional units have continuously discovered and temporarily detained textbooks showing signs of counterfeiting products of Vietnam Education Publishing House.

On the eve of the new school year, textbooks are products that many parents and students look to buy at bookstores. This is also a favorable time for fake textbooks to mix into the market. Vietnam Education Publishing House recommends that parents and students choose to buy books at stores in the Vietnam Education Publishing House system to avoid buying fake textbooks or pirated books that do not guarantee quality.
