On October 25, Mr. Phan Van Quoc, director of Phu Quoc Production and Trading Company Limited, spoke with Tuoi Tre Online about the issue related to the case of the principal of Ly Trach Primary School declaring the price of installing sunshade canvas to be 3 times higher than the price that the company itself quoted to parents.
According to Mr. Quoc, the price of the tarpaulin that the principal declared was the correct price stated in the invoice issued by this company after the school finalized the payment, which was 630,000 VND/ m2 . Mr. Quoc confirmed that in the previous school year, he had made a similar sunshade tarpaulin system for the classrooms opposite Ly Trach Primary School.
The owner of this business said that his unit had completed all procedures and documents related to this project in accordance with regulations.
"When we know the school's need for sunshade tarpaulin, we send a quote. Choosing who will do the construction is the school's job. We give a quote and if the school chooses to do the construction, we will do it," Mr. Quoc explained.

Responding to the fact that the company quoted parents only 180,000 VND - 200,000 VND/ m2 for the same type of tarpaulin, depending on the area being smaller or larger than 10m2 , Mr. Quoc said that because he thought the person who requested the quote was... a competitor, the quote was lower.
As reported by Tuoi Tre Online, many parents whose children study at Ly Trach Primary School (Ly Trach Commune, Bo Trach, Quang Binh) have sent a petition to the authorities to request clarification of the unusual signs of the school's principal when using socialized money contributed by parents to install a sunshade system for classrooms.
According to the petition, in the 2023-2024 school year, Ly Trach Primary School mobilizes social contributions of 250,000 VND per parent. The total amount of money parents contribute is about 124 million VND (after deducting exemptions).
The school used this money to install a sunshade system for the entire 2 floors of the classroom building with a total area of over 190 m2 and to repair the school's electrical equipment.
Ms. Cao Thi My Thuyet, principal, declared to the parents' association that this project was constructed by Phu Quoc Production and Trading Company Limited with a total cost of more than 122 million VND. The unit price according to the construction contract is 630,000 VND/ m2 .
Many parents have surveyed prices for similar products at many units in the area, and the construction unit price for similar projects is less than one-third of the price declared by the principal.
The group of parents also directly contacted the above Phu Quoc Production and Trading Company Limited to send pictures of the tarpaulin system that the company installed at Ly Trach Primary School and asked for a quote for a similar project.
According to the quote sent by this company, if the total area is under 10m2 , the unit price is 200,000 VND/ m2 , and if it is over 10m2 , the unit price is only 180,000 VND/ m2 .
