Tuition fee regulations

At the beginning of the meeting, delegates gave their opinions on the Draft Resolution regulating tuition fees in public educational institutions; tuition support levels for private primary school students who are eligible for tuition exemption and reduction policies according to regulations of Nghe An province.

Commenting on the draft Resolution, delegates suggested that the draft Resolution should add the type of continuing education facility to clarify the scope of the Resolution. Consider whether the regulation includes high-quality educational facilities and advanced classes; and add continuing education subjects after the content of public education.

The delegates' comments suggested that the draft Resolution should clarify the basis for the regulation of high and low mountainous districts to be included in the Resolution for accuracy. On that basis, there should be no additional regulations on the balance of collection levels between regions. At the same time, it is suggested that the draft Resolution should clarify the collection based on schools and places of household registration.

Based on the opinions of the delegates, the Culture - Social Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council requested the drafting agency, the Department of Education and Training, to review the subjects, scope of adjustment, and applicable subjects; ensure tuition collection according to the locality, ensure the rights of learners,... to complete the content of the draft Resolution to be submitted to the upcoming Provincial People's Council meeting.

Next, the Culture - Social Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council unanimously approved the submission to the People's Council of the draft Resolution amending and supplementing Resolution No. 30/2021/NQ-HDND dated December 9, 2021 regulating the social assistance standards in Nghe An province; Draft Resolution amending and supplementing Resolution No. 32/2020/NQ-HDND dated December 13, 2020 regulating support policies for people with revolutionary contributions from poor households in the area for the period 2021-2025.

At the same time, it is recommended that the drafting agency, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, supplement the basis of legal regulations; it is necessary to clearly stipulate the use of citizen identification cards and identity cards. The delegates' opinions are that, because the content of these two Resolutions is similar, a common amendment Resolution should be drafted for these two Resolutions.

Allocation of central budget expenditure estimates

According to Resolution 111/2024/QH15 dated January 18, 2024 of the National Assembly on a number of specific mechanisms and policies to implement national target programs, it is stipulated that: Provincial People's Councils decide to allocate or delegate to district People's Councils the decision to allocate the annual central budget regular expenditure estimates of each detailed national target program to component projects.

Therefore, the issuance of a Resolution on the allocation of central budget funds to implement the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction in 2024 is truly necessary.
