Previously, on December 16, the program 24-hour Movement (Vietnam Television) reported that the meals of students at Hoang Thu Pho 1 Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities showed signs of being cut.
Specifically, during breakfast at the boarding kitchen, each tray had 11 children fighting over 2 packs of instant noodles cooked thinly with rice. Although the menu and financial disclosure clearly stated that 174 boarding students were entitled to 1 pack of instant noodles and 1 egg for breakfast, according to the person in charge of cooking, the situation of food shortage for students often occurred.
Not only breakfast, lunch and dinner for 11 people each only have a little bit of chopped ham and a pot of soup. However, the principal of Hoang Thu Pho 1 Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities thinks that is enough.
Chayote leaves are used as a substitute for toilet paper.

On the morning of December 17, the People's Committee of Bac Ha district and related units held an urgent meeting to clarify the incident.
