Review of principal in Bac Lieu accused of illegal collection

The Teachers' Council of Phan Ngoc Hien High School (Bac Lieu) met and agreed to review Mr. Le Minh Quang, the school's Principal.

On January 3, according to a source from Giao Thong Newspaper, the Department of Education and Training of Bac Lieu province held a meeting with the entire Teachers' Council of Phan Ngoc Hien High School (Bac Lieu city) and reviewed Mr. Le Minh Quang, the school's principal, regarding illegal financial collection and expenditure.

Phan Ngoc Hien High School (Bac Lieu city, Bac Lieu province).

At the same time, the Department of Education and Training of Bac Lieu province has established a Council to review disciplinary action against Mr. Le Minh Quang.

Considering that Mr. Quang committed the violations as reported in the complaint, but they were for a common purpose and did not show signs of personal gain, the Council considered and voted not to discipline Mr. Quang.

As previously reported by Giao Thong Newspaper, the Bac Lieu Department of Education and Training has verified the five contents of the petition of a teacher at Phan Ngoc Hien High School "accusing" the violations of Mr. Le Minh Quang, the school's Principal. Of these, three of the accusations are correct and one is partially correct.

Specifically, 3/5 of the contents that the teacher denounced were correct, including: Not properly implementing the "teaching period norm/year = 2 periods/week x number of weeks for teaching and educational activities according to regulations on the school year schedule".

But Mr. Quang still received full teacher's allowance for three school years.

For the past three years, Mr. Quang has always directed the collection and disbursement of high school graduation exam preparation fees in violation of financial regulations and instructions from the Bac Lieu Department of Education and Training. Specifically, regarding collection, he directed the collection of one more week than the actual number of teaching weeks of teachers.

Also in the past three years, Mr. Quang has always directed the collection and disbursement of money from the Scholarship Fund in violation of financial regulations and instructions of the Bac Lieu Department of Education and Training.

Although the Department had warned and reminded him, Mr. Quang continued to direct the homeroom teacher to notify the parents of the students in the final meeting of the 2023-2024 school year so that the collection could continue at the beginning of the new school year.

Regarding the collection of the 2024-2025 Scholarship Fund, on October 7, Mr. Le Minh Quang signed a document announcing the refund to parents of students.

The notice clearly states: "The Scholarship Fund collected 200,000 VND/household at the beginning of the year, the school will return it to the parents (repayment period from October 7 to 18, 2024)...

For any parents who agree to contribute, from October 19, 2024, the school will transfer this fee to each class, the Parents' Representative Board of the class will manage and spend according to regulations."
