Ho Chi Minh City's proposal to exempt tuition fees for all students at all levels has attracted much attention from the public. Will temporary resident students be exempted from tuition fees?

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training has just completed a draft resolution on a special policy to support tuition fees for preschool children, public and non-public high school students, and continuing high school students from the 2025-2026 school year.
Ho Chi Minh City proposes to exempt tuition fees for all students at all levels. Many readers enthusiastically agree with this proposal.
Welcome readers
Reader Khai Phong expressed his joy: "Welcome Ho Chi Minh City in this matter. Universal education should include tuition exemptions for all students from kindergarten to grade 12."
Reader Hoang Mai shared: "Although I know that tuition fees only account for a small part of the expenses that students currently have to pay, every little bit is good. Parents are under too much pressure now."
Similarly, a reader with the email address vant****@gmail.com believes that education is a national policy if we want the country to be rich and strong in the future.
Free tuition is a condition for our children to study more subjects they love, especially skills subjects.
Reader Khoa believes that tuition exemption should be expanded to other localities. "I think rural areas such as poor provinces should also exempt tuition fees so that their children can go to school and learn to read and write," reader Khoa wrote.
Reader Uncle Ba Nguyen expressed support for Ho Chi Minh City's proposal, but to do so, two issues must be ensured.
The first is to ensure the life and income of teachers, because teachers also need to have a life, living expenses in Ho Chi Minh City are not cheap.
Second , it is absolutely forbidden to collect and spend (to deal with or circumvent the law) money from the school or the parent representative board.
Similarly, reader Minh Nguyet wrote: "Tuition is free but quality must be maintained, teachers must be paid high salaries so they are motivated to work, and extra classes must be avoided, where students must pay for extra classes."
Recommended for all public and non-public students
Reader Duy and some readers wonder: It probably only applies to people with registered residence in Ho Chi Minh City. I wonder if temporary residents are eligible for this policy?
According to the Department of Education and Training, the department has proposed that all students studying at public and non-public schools in Ho Chi Minh City will receive tuition support from the 2025-2026 school year.
Thus, the tuition exemption will not consider whether students have permanent or temporary residence, but only need to be studying at schools in Ho Chi Minh City.
However, the Department of Education and Training also said that it proposed to support tuition fees for students in non-public schools, but students in foreign-invested schools are not included in this category.
