On October 14, information from the Hoa Binh Provincial Police said that the Investigation Police Agency had initiated a case, issued an arrest warrant, and temporarily detained a high school principal.

Mr. Nguyen Quyet Thang (44 years old), as Party Secretary and Principal of Ky Son High School, knows that the money for high school graduation exam materials (including scratch paper, exam papers, multiple choice answer papers...) is paid for by the State budget.

However, during the school years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), Mr. Thang still directed the homeroom teacher of grade 12 to collect 100,000 VND/student with the reason of serving the exam.

According to the police, this is a typical case of overcharging in schools.

Currently, the Investigation Police Agency, Hoa Binh Provincial Police are continuing to expand the investigation of the case.
