Previously, the Chau Duc District People's Committee announced the conclusion of a comprehensive inspection at Anh Duong Kindergarten in Ngai Giao town; the inspection period was from January 2022 to September 2024.

According to the inspection conclusion, in the process of managing and implementing tasks, Ms. Hue still had limitations and shortcomings.

Specifically, for the lunch of teachers and employees at Anh Duong School from September 2023 to May 2024, Ms. Hue did not organize a consultation, did not publicize the amount of money collected and spent. According to the conclusion, the remaining amount is 18,110,000 VND, and the principal of Anh Duong School is responsible for organizing the public disclosure and refunding the amount of 18,110,000 VND to teachers and employees who paid for lunch.

In addition, the remaining amount of money for meals for children at school is more than 25 million VND and has not been refunded to parents.

In September 2024, the teachers and staff of the school met with the Chairman of the Chau Duc District People's Committee to report that the lunch fee at school was 30,000 VND per meal, but the portion received only consisted of rice, soup, and a few pieces of pork roll. Afterwards, Provincial Party Secretary Pham Viet Thanh requested that the violations be quickly clarified and the case strictly handled.
