Students who win prizes in national sports, physical education, cultural and artistic competitions will receive a maximum reward of 7.5 million VND/student from Ho Chi Minh City.

Two students from Ho Chi Minh City (middle) won second prize at the 2024 international science and technology competition in the US.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Council has just passed Resolution 35 amending and supplementing a number of articles of Resolution 02/2021/ND-HDND dated March 23, 2021 of the City People's Council stipulating a number of policies to encourage and reward teachers, students, and trainees who won prizes in city-level, national, regional, and international competitions and teachers with achievements in training and fostering students and trainees who won prizes in Ho Chi Minh City.

Compared to the previous Resolution 02, Resolution 35 has added the beneficiaries of the policy: Students and trainees who won prizes in national competitions, sports, cultural and artistic competitions. The reward levels are as follows:

• Gold medal (first): 7.5 million VND.
• Silver medal (second): 5 million VND.
• Bronze medal (three): 3.5 million VND.
• Encouragement prize (fourth prize): 2 million VND.

Thus, this is the first time Ho Chi Minh City has regulated the level of rewards for students who win prizes in national competitions and competitions on sports, culture and arts. The policy once again affirms the goal of comprehensive education for students of Ho Chi Minh City, encouraging students to demonstrate their abilities and develop their talents not only in subjects but also in sports, culture and arts activities...

Expanding the scope of rewards

In addition, Resolution 35 also amends and supplements the subjects of application. Specifically, there are 3 subjects of application as follows:

• Students and trainees who won prizes in exams, competitions, and contests organized or sent to attend by the Department of Education and Training of the City.
• Teachers who won prizes in competitions organized or sent to participate by the Department of Education and Training of the City; teachers who have achievements in training and nurturing students and trainees who won prizes.
• Agencies, organizations and individuals involved in the implementation of the resolution.

Thus, compared to the previous Resolution 02, the subjects of application of the new resolution have changed a lot. Previously, the old resolution stipulated that students and teachers who won prizes in international, regional and national competitions and competitions sent by the Department of Education and Training to participate, now the subjects of commendation are agencies, organizations and individuals related to the implementation of the resolution.
